Testimonials

Thank you so much for everything. From start to finish you have been amazing. The beautiful Secret Barn was the perfect setting. We loved our ceremony in the orchard under the gorgeous tree! (Anyone know what type of tree it is!?) :) And the barn looked absolutely stunning. The flowers were drop dead gorgeous, and everyone has said how amazing they were. The bouquets were even more beautiful than I had ever imagined. Thank you for taking my Pinterest and turning it into reality AND MORE! And the food …. was completely delicious. Again, so many people have said how good it was. You are such a fantastic team and have made the whole process such a joy. I want to do the whole thing again, exactly the same. I wouldn’t change a thing. It was just perfect.
