fast forward to my wedding weekend. we expected rain and had to have backup plans. communication with dina and my coordinator was open and any time there was a problem that arrived a solution was provided. the cottage was quick to their feet and worked with all the vendors that day to ensure everything flowed. despite the rain, mud and craziness of the day - not a single guest noticed we were officially on plan D. it went that smooth🙂 the day flew by and i loved every minute. oh and the food was so delicious from the apps to the dinner to the cake!!
