Wedding planner and Wedding venue

I had my dream wedding at Bluestem Farm and events and it so special and unique. Kelly (wedding venue owner) was willing to take on title of our “wedding planner” just less than a month away from our wedding because previous wedding planner unfortunately didn’t meet expectations. She was our saving grace. She was so responsive, flexible, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the whole process but especially when we made the decision to have her as our wedding planner. My wedding day was so smooth and seamless and I cannot be more grateful for her. The venue itself was perfect for ceremony and reception. We received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was. The prairie reserve behind us during our ceremony was one of my favorite things about having an end of September wedding because the field literally is gold. The venue is perfect and the owner is even better to work with!
