Taylor B. Married on 09/18/2022BAQARA braved the storm!
I am so glad we went with BAQARA for our wedding day! The weather was 100% against us with a thunderstorm when we were supposed to have our outdoor ceremony, but Yvette was so calm and collected and made sure we did everything how we wanted to. She made our outdoor ceremony happen! The whole planning process with Yvette was easy and stress free, she truly took care of everything. My flowers were beautiful and I am so happy with how all of the decor turned out. Yvette is so kind and good at what she does, she even went out with us after the wedding and bought us a round of shots! Yvette handled everything that was thrown our way with a smile and I am so thankful for her! Thank you so much baqara!! -

Heather Married on 05/08/2021It was a purely random happenstance that we found out about this venue in the first place. Nevertheless, we knew from the moment we walked in the doors for our first visit that this would be our place! Yvette & Clint were great to learn more about us, personalizing our experience. Yvette organized so much of the work for me and helped narrow down my ideas. I felt like I hardly did anything yet was comfortable knowing that it was in her hands. This made the planning process stress free and easy. Her creativity fit everything I was looking for & more. I teared up when I saw my amazing bouquet for the first time, and her floral & decor touches were all wonderful. As bartender, Clint even created his own drink & had one of our guests name it for the night! The all-inclusive price of this venue is worth every penny for them to take care of it all - small or big. Also, as a side note, the bed & breakfast is very convenient & comfortable for the night after. I can't say enough good things about Baqara.
