Where do I begin?… My husband and I discussed what we envisioned for our wedding before ever getting engaged. We thought we would have plenty of time to plan. When he proposed I knew I didn’t want to wait and plan a big wedding. We were fully prepared to go to the courthouse and tie the knot BUT our kids wanted to see us get married so we set out to find a way to accomplish that without breaking the bank. There were only a few things that were important to me; my date (10/20/22) and my colors. We wanted to be non traditional. I wanted my special day to be stress free for my husband and I. When we found the elopement packages at The Hitching Post I was overjoyed that I could have everything I want for a price we could afford! Wendy is absolutely amazing. We met her when we toured the venue and she was so kind. She had great insight on how to coordinate our wishes. She was so helpful with everything from payment arrangements to honoring every request I had. The day couldn’t have been more perfect. We had a small wedding on a Thursday afternoon. We pulled up to everything being prepared for us which put me at ease. I wanted to ENJOY my wedding and that is EXACTLY what I was able to do thanks to Wendy and her crew. The ceremony site was decorated beautifully with the colors we requested. Wendy was a huge help in coordinating who was to be where seeing how I did not want my husband to see me before I walked down the aisle. Our ceremony was quick and perfect. With my oldest son being special needs I wanted something to the point so he wouldn’t get overwhelmed with sitting quietly for too long. Wendy was gracious enough to allow me to honor my father and step mother with a special dance since it was their wedding anniversary. The photographer even asked if she could do a mini photo shoot of them which I loved. I can’t say enough great things about the photographer either. She was AWESOME! She talked to everyone as if she had known us for years. My brother actually thought we knew each other even though we only met that day. Our cake was simple and perfect! I gave very little input on most things and even though I didn’t give much input Wendy was able to pull together exactly what I pictured. I am just in awe over how well we were taken care of. Having a venue that provides EVERYTHING allowed me to not become a bridezilla. LOL THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION FOR OUR WEDDING! I highly recommend this establishment for wedding small and large!
