Wonderful Experience!
Amazing! Worth every penny!!
Professional, flexible and courteous
Wedding Day 08.13.22
The process leading up to the wedding day was stressful in general but the final meeting puts your mind completely at ease. They answer every question you could possibly have. We got everything we wanted for our wedding day (such as chairs, table linens, arbor, etc) and still had room to add more with our budget. They also give you a wedding planning binder to help keep your wedding ideas, DJ sheets, catering menu, and potential vendors together and organized.
The day of the wedding, they brought the bridal party Chick-Fil-A and had every necessity on site.
They sent us off with cute personalized plates (with our last name initial) and a basket of cake and left overs for our honeymoon!
The location is beautiful and was great for my husband and I to get the BEST sunset pictures.
They made this day a core memory for my husband and I! 10/10 would recommend :)
My June wedding at The Gingerbread Meeting House was amazing!
Caroline, the venue coordinator, is amazing! She helped answer any questions we had, was very understanding when I didn’t always get her the information she needed on time, and she was easy to get a hold of. The day of coordinator (I’m not sure of her name) was also absolutely wonderful. She helped to make sure the day went smoothly and was extremely professional and helpful. She even helped to watch my toddler during the ceremony and he is super picky about who he will let hold him!
The day of my wedding was very hot and we initially planned to eat outside. After realizing how hot it was that day, my mom asked if we could move the tables back inside after the staff had already moved them outdoors. My wedding was very small, but I would’ve completely understood if the staff weren’t able to accommodate my request. I am SO thankful they agreed to move the tables back inside though! I was so incredibly grateful as I think everyone was happy we didn’t have to eat in the heat.
I was truly blown away by how professional everyone was and just what a great job the staff did. We even were given a nice basket with some items in it for us at the end of the night! The staff also put out a box where guests could put advice slips in. I wasn’t expecting that, and I’m so glad they thought to do that!
We are so glad we chose The Gingerbread Meeting House as the venue for our wedding. I cannot recommend them enough. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful too! Thank you so much to everyone at The Gingerbread Meeting House who had a part in giving us an amazing wedding day!
