When I think about a Wedgewood Weddings venue, many aspects of the experience genuinely make me light up. There's something about helping couples create their amazing day, and how our venues, packages, and team come together to make that happen is incredibly exciting.
The client has a first impression of Wedgewood Weddings within the first few minutes of arriving. There are so many little things they will notice. Is it clean inside and out and nicely landscaped? Does it smell good? Does it feel cozy? Before I can learn about the couple, they already know a lot about us. This is part of what gets me excited to come to work. I do my best to make those first impressions the best they can be. I keep a positive attitude and take pride in everything Wedgewood Weddings; most importantly, I am thankful that I am empowered to help continuously improve it and help our couple's dreams come true!
Anyone you talk to knows how much I love florals. I get so much joy from the stunning floral designs that come from our incredible florists. While we partner with two incredible florists, one fresh florist and one luxury silk florist, the quality and creativity they bring to every wedding never fail to amaze me. From vibrant orange ranunculus to pampas grass to classic white roses, they design arrangements that fit every couple's vision, and it's always so amazing to see what they come up with. No one wedding is the same!
Having preferred florists in the packages and the opportunity to add additional things through them creates such a cohesive look throughout the wedding day. It all ties together beautifully, from the bouquets to the centerpieces to the flower petals down the aisle. This cohesive floral design gives the wedding a luxe and thoughtful touch.
Having a close floral connection for our couples from start to finish is one of the many ways we make the day feel extraordinary and well-coordinated. I encourage every single one of our couples to use our preferred florists!
Our menu is always a hit with guests. From gourmet appetizers to our signature buffet to our duet-plated meal, we offer a range of options that are sure to please any and everyone.
Some of my favorite menu items are our Ahi Tuna Wontons, Mac and Cheese Panko Croquets, or the Prime Rib Carving Station. They are always a showstopper. Our culinary team is truly unmatched in their dedication and talent, and you can tell from the quality of our food! When guests rave about the food, it's one of the best feelings.
Alongside my floral obsession, I am constantly visiting our rental partner's showrooms to see the new and exciting things they offer. Adding upgraded glasses and linens to a wedding is a simple yet impactful way to elevate your special day's overall atmosphere and aesthetic. Upgrades such as my favorite Blush Aurora Glasses or beaded glass chargers add a touch of elegance that enhances the dining experience for the guests and the overall aesthetic. Also, upgraded linens in luxurious fabrics or rich colors can transform the tablescape, tying together your décor theme and making the reception more inviting. These subtle enhancements create a sense of refinement and attention to detail, ensuring each wedding feels uniquely personal and memorable. Our rental company, Event Rents, truly walks our couples through how to make their tablescapes stand out in our already stunning venue. They do showroom visits as most rental companies do, and I promise you will be mesmerized when you go into their showroom!
One of the things I really love about Wedgewood Weddings is our network of amazing vendors. From talented photographers and interactive DJs to extremely talented florists and well-versed officiants, we've built relationships with some of the best professionals in the industry. What makes this so special is how much care we've put into curating these partnerships. Couples don't have to spend countless hours researching or stressing over whether a vendor will deliver. Couples will typically spend 40-60 hours vetting their vendors, and with us partnering with incredible vendors, we have already done the hard work for them!
At the same time, we understand that every couple has their own unique vision. If they have a specific vendor in mind or want to include someone they're excited to work with, we're always happy to invite them to join you on your wedding day. Our goal is to ensure everything aligns just how you envision it.
A common accolade I hear from couples is how much they value the guidance and support they receive from our team. Wedding planning can feel overwhelming, but the team at the venue you decide on is here to make the process enjoyable and stress-free; it is truly the smart way to plan. From the first meeting to the grand gesture exit with the flameless sparklers, we're by their side to help with every detail.
Every couple is unique in their own way; however, they will always receive the same excellent service regardless of the Wedgewood Weddings team they are working with. This is what makes Wedgewood Weddings different. As a team, we can work with every type of client while individually striving to exceed expectations. We must carefully listen to the couples' questions, ideas, and concerns. Then, we use that knowledge individually to get the couple excited and comfortable throughout the Wedgewood Weddings experience.
Weddings and events are investments, but that doesn't mean they need to break the bank. Our pricing is designed to provide incredible value and curate a beautiful wedding without sacrificing quality or service. Transparent and upfront costs make it easier than ever to create a celebration that meets the couple's needs and stays within your budget.
Planning an event should feel exciting and fun, not overwhelming or stressful. Wedgewood Weddings has thought of everything, so they don't have to, making the whole process easier and more enjoyable from start to finish.
Wedgewood Weddings combines all the necessary pieces, like a beautiful venue, expert event coordination and service, excellent in-house catering, and fun upgrades all in one place. Our couples no longer need to juggle endless vendor contracts or worry about whether they've forgotten something important. We've got it covered!
But what makes these packages unique is how customizable they are. Whether you're planning an elegant black-tie affair or something more casual and cozier, you can personalize the details to match your vision – and we will help with personalizing those details if you need ideas!
The goal is to ensure your event feels unique without the stress and hefty price tag that can come with trying to figure everything out independently. It's all about giving you the freedom to focus on what matters most: making memories and enjoying every moment.
