Wedded Bliss

The moment I entered The Historic Cedar School was the moment I knew where we should exchange our vows. Beautiful gardens and a school bell welcomed us to the charming brick building. We were met by the sweet, talented, and beautiful Jaclyn who assists couples in making their dreams come true. What a vision the room was -complete with hard wood floors, antiques, white walls, and gloriously lit by the sunlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The room was the perfect size to host our intimate ceremony and reception complete with our closest friends and family. Our wish was to focus on one-another in a beautiful setting without detracting from our purpose of becoming husband and wife. The Historic Cedar School made our wish come true in a truly caring, selfless, and flawless way.

Beautiful and intimate venue!

We had our wedding at the cedar school this summer and it was beautiful. Jaclyn, the manager was a pleasure to work with through the whole experience. She answered all of my (many many) emails very promptly and was always friendly. She was also our day of coordinator and did such an amazing job! She ran the show very smoothly and professionally. She has the eye of a designer as well as very professional event planning skills- which is fantastic mix. The location itself is beautiful both the grounds and building. We utilized the backyard for our ceremony and reception and we also utilized the building. It's a very versatile space and had many options for our 80 guests and our photos. We also loved all of the comfy couches that are around the property! We could not have been happier and recommend this venue highly!!
