Storybook Garden Fairytale
Jana (the owner) is the true definition of dedicated. We first met her in March/April of 2022 when we first toured the venue. It was our first and only venue tour before we booked the wedding. After meeting with her, I knew this was the place for me and my husband to get married at. The property, the details, the packages were all too good to be true. But, they were true. She was sweet, caring, and very understanding of us. We clicked, and we felt comfortable. We felt very at home. I couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else.
Angie was our decor/coordinator/therapist/designer/bff during this whole process. Never in a million years did I want to have a biggish wedding because of all the stress of details/planning. Let me tell you something...Angie took it all off my shoulders. She took my Pinterest and designed my absolute dream. No no scratch that. It wasn't my dream. IT WAS BETTER! She dealt with some family drama and handled it with grace (and we couldn't be more thankful for that). We had so many compliments about how beautiful our center pieces and our floral was and that was all because of Angie. She calmed us down when we got stressed. She made sure special moments were built in for us. She just made our day so incredible. I would do it all over again and again and not ever change a single thing. That's how perfect it was.
If you're thinking of booking your wedding or party at Storybook Gardens, you will not regret it for a second. I never ever second guessed myself with any of this. I can't take the credit for anything, other than showing up on the day of.
Jana & Angie - Thank you for making our dreams come true. We will forever be grateful. We can't wait to return one day with our kiddos and tell them all about our perfect day.
