prel·ude noun "An introductory performance, action, or event preceding a more important one."

The Prelude is for authentic people who crave a romantic dream from a vanished age. The Prelude isn't only a place that should be seen - It should be experienced.

Ah!! The Prelude is the dreamiest venue! Not only are both Ashley and Nathanael two of the nicest and sweetest people you’ll ever meet, they have also created the most unique and intimate space for you to celebrate love! The Mini Mansion is everything you dream of to get ready in on your wedding day if you choose to, and The Hall and The Pergola will leave you speechless (as well as all of your guests).
