10/10 Experience!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of having our wedding at Slate and Cypress, and we cannot speak highly enough of our experience. From start to finish, every aspect of our event was flawless.

We chose Slate and Cypress' wedding planning services and we could not have asked for a better experience. Olga took the time to understand our vision for the big day and executed it flawlessly, exceeding our expectations at every turn. On the day of the wedding, Slate and Cypress ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy ourselves in the moment without worrying about any logistics. Their calm demeanor was reassuring and truly could not have done it without them. We received countless compliments from our guests about how seamlessly everything flowed and how beautiful every detail of the wedding was. Slate and Cypress played a significant role in creating those memories for us, and we will be forever grateful to them.

The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful and was the perfect backdrop for our special day.

Slate and Cypress is simply the best. From our initial inquiry to the day of the event, Andrew and Olga were professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring that our wedding was nothing short of perfection. Their expertise and dedication were shown in every interaction, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our every request.

Overall, our wedding at Slate and Cypress was a dream come true, thanks to the unparalleled service and attention to detail provided by Olga and Andrew. We are forever grateful for the memories we made at this venue and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to create an unforgettable wedding experience.

Thank you again for making our day the best day of our lives.

Beautiful Venue

Slate & Cypress was my absolute dream venue, after touring the venue we decided almost instantly on the venue and didn’t visit any others. Slate & Cypress is such a beautiful venue, some of our guests even said it felt like we were out of the country! Andrew and Olga were so helpful on our big day and even left us with a sweet gift. I would choose Slate & Cypress over and over again!
