She is a joyous person to be around and exactly who you would want coordinating your wedding. She is on time, personable and knows how to run a wedding. The property has a lot of space for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready and many unique features such as the 19th century mansion and the ceremony site area surrounded by large beautiful magnolia trees. The guests love being able to explore the grounds and the couples adore the beautiful, unique flavor of the venue. I would highly recommend Maple Lawn to any prospective couples.
