PLANNING OPTIONS

Planning, organizing, and designing every aspect of your big day will take a lot of timing, organization skills, and talent. The key to a successful, stress-free, wedding is hiring the right vendors.

Wedding planners and coordinators play a huge role in how your day will be executed. From setting up a realistic wedding budget, helping with floor plans, finding the best vendors, coordinating setups and deliveries, managing the wedding day, creating a timeline and so much more.

Executing a wedding takes exceptional skill, and although you may throw the best dinner parties, when it comes to one of the biggest events of your life, hiring a wedding planner or coordinator is not an option but a requirement in our book!

If your budget doesn't allow a full-service planner, you still may be able to hire a coordinator that can make sure the day of your wedding runs smoothly.

"Being a wedding venue owner is a wonderful feeling as we witness two individuals, their families and loved ones joining lives. What makes it truly special, is that they choose our property as their backdrop for this momentous occasion. Creating a couple's wedding cake is an honor that allows us to be part of their celebration. The joy it brings is simply amazing. Why? Because I love weddings!"
