The private pond, fields upon fields of lavender, pergola cocktail area, wooded paths, and the adorable grazing sheep are just a few of the stunning backdrops for your special event and each is *chef's kiss* in creating that special, whimsical look any couple would love for their day. Highly recommend Laura Brittingham and this venue–book with them! ...Do it!!

Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Whether it was coordinating the timeline or setting up the venue, Katlyn and her team handled everything flawlessly. Beyond her professionalism, Katlyn's bubbly personality made it easy to relax and truly enjoy the day. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making our wedding special.

The Grand also allows you to incorporate personal touches, like the pasta dish we make regularly together at home, which they included during our cocktail hour. It was such a thoughtful addition! The chef and waitstaff were wonderful, and we had the pleasure of meeting our bartender Michael during our rehearsal day. He was so friendly and even gave us a tasting of one of our signature cocktails. The entire staff made us feel incredibly special throughout the weekend.

I can't put into words the experience of working with Annemarie and Jim. They were great communicators from start to finish. We went to the first open house last fall and decided to book for March 2024. It gave us 6 months of planning, and as stressful as it was, the easiest part was working with Annemarie to plan it all. The venue is beautiful and the house is perfect and Annemarie makes sure to make you feel so special and heard throughout the process. All my guests raved about the venue and all said "if this was around when I got married, I would have picked this place". Truly a beautiful experience from beginning to end.
