Visited my venue yesterday and they made some changes.......

.....and all of them were so incredible I can't believe I get to get married here! We visited last November when we decided to book Arrow Park in the Hudson Valley and then again in February for a catering tasting. We knew right away it was a special place, but yesterday was really something. We were going back for a few meetings in the area and I wanted to measure windows and their stage for some DIY decor while I was there.

It's been almost 7 months since we've seen the venue, and in that time, they've tripled the amount of string lights and flowers, they made a gorgeous new pathway around a part of the building they noticed couples like to take their family portraits, and they're building out another on-site cottage for out of town guests to rent (at a fraction of the cost of local hotels). We even got a chance to ask about their dog policy and found out that they allow dogs on the property, just not inside, so as long as the weather holds out, our new puppy will get to be our ringbearer next year!

While there, we saw the sales director (who is the most lovely woman), met our last potential florist who was absolutely incredible and definitely the one we would book (she even brought me a bouquet! such a nice touch!), ran into one of the guys from our catering company who was so friendly, and briefly talked with one of the men on their board of directors and some of the people who were doing housecleaning. EVERYONE IS JUST SO NICE!!!! Even an offsite hotel we visited to ask about room blocks was very professional and helpful even though they don't open Oct 2020 rooms until Nov (but they said we're not financially responsible for rooms that don't get booked which is a huge plus I wasn't expecting!) I don't have a wedding coordinator because I like doing projects myself, and it's such a relief to know I'm in such great hands.
