On the Cover: Ring in the New Year with Vecoma at the Yellow River
By Kristen Eleveld
For many local members of the Gwinnett community, Vecoma at the Yellow River is synonymous with weddings, joy, and a job well done. For years, Vecoma at the Yellow River has cultivated and maintained its reputation as a premier wedding venue in Gwinnett County, with countless awards and accolades stacking up. And not only does Vecoma at the Yellow River deserve its hard-earned reputation as one of the best places to get married in the state, they also offer advice and tips to newly-engaged couples to ensure their weddings run smoothly.
According to co-owner Caroline Tucker, one of the most frequent pieces of advice they give to engaged couples is part of the secret to wedding success: be flexible in your planning. This advice especially applies when choosing your wedding date.
“Every year, people contend for dates in the fall when there are lovely unclaimed days in the spring and the summer,” said Caroline. “You don’t want to be boxed into a venue just because they have the date available.”
It’s true – finding the right venue for your wedding is not just about finding a place that has your desired date open. Instead, the dedicated staff at Vecoma at the Yellow River urges couples to look for a venue that has experienced team members who can walk you through the process of creating the wedding you have always dreamed of.
In addition to being the foremost experts on planning a wedding that will stay in your budget while still incorporating your plans, Vecoma’s staff is always looking at the latest wedding trends and ideas to give every one of their clients an opportunity to make the day their own.
“Over the last few months, I have seen more brides ditching the high heel shoes and instead getting stylized sneakers or Converse for the ceremony,” said Caroline. “You might even want a pair for the ceremony and another pair for the reception!”
Aside from the obvious comfort benefits of trading in the stilettos for better arch support, many brides have also taken to customizing their ceremony sneakers with their new initials, wedding date, or something more personal to the couple. Whatever you decide, the team at Vecoma at the Yellow River is always ready to help you add some unique flair to your big day.
Caroline and the rest of the Vecoma crew know that wedding planning can feel overwhelming for many couples, which is why they created a blog on their website that is dedicated to answering your questions and sharing new ideas. You might be looking for inspiration for a wedding theme, trying to decide how long your veil should be, or searching for fresh ideas on songs for your first dance. If it’s wedding-related, the Vecoma blog should be your first stop.
