Absolutely Seamless
Lisa, the owner, was an absolute joy to work with and took a very active role throughout the weekend. Ashley, Mary Catherine, and Jocelyn were so much fun behind the bar that it was like they were guests…very, very professional guests! :)
Julie Martin Olson was our wedding planner/sensei/spirit guide the months leading up to the wedding, and it was like she had superpowers during the events. Her intuition was uncanny; we would feverishly think of something that we needed just to turn around and find Julie holding it with a big smile on her face. Julie’s strong relationships with local vendors allowed us to pluck the crown jewels of the area.
We literally couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you everyone!
