C&M’s fall wedding at Barn at Bradstreet Farm was full of classic moments and fun twists. This couple opted not do a first look, so did not see each other until C walked down the aisle. They had a fun crew of littles as ringbearers (plus one flower girl), and for dessert featured cider donuts. The bridesmaids dressed in varied fall tones, to complement classic sunflower-laden florals. We loved hosting this group! Thanks for letting us be a part of your love story, C&M!

This beautiful, intimate wedding took place in late October, with fall-toned floral and a cider sangria to celebrate the season. J’s brother officiated, and the couple opted not to do a first look, meaning D didn’t see J until she walked down the aisle (J did do a touching first look with her father in the suite pre-ceremony!). After a barbecue dinner and dancing, guests were treated with custom hot sauce as favors as they departed for the after party.

K&F originally planned their wedding for 2020, but with family coming from India and Pakistan, decided to have a private ceremony and delay their reception until everyone could safely travel. The two families finally met for the first time at the couple's Barn at Bradstreet Farm reception in June 2022. This fun and casual cocktail-style event featured South Asian-inspired food from Woodland Catering and the flags of U.S., India and Pakistan on the front of the Barn. We loved hosting this group, and we think you'll agree the photos are colorful and gorgeous!

Lots of love and fun at A&B's tented wedding here in October! The first look by the pond had us all teary (see B's reaction in the photos!) and we loved seeing beautiful Flower Grandma L coming down the aisle! After the dinner, this fun crowd danced the night away in the barn.

It was a gorgeous day for a wedding, enhanced by L&D’s beaming smiles! This couple opted not to do a first look, so D didn’t see L until she was walking down the aisle – see photo above of his reaction! They did a sweet Love Lock ceremony, and then danced the night away with friends and family. We loved the color palette for this one, especially the bridesmaids’ dresses! And a tiered Bundt cake – the couple’s favorite – was a great alternative to a traditional wedding cake. Thanks for letting us be a part of your love story, L&D!

Sending out invitations is a big milestone in your wedding planning! Many couples spend hours selecting design, fonts and language – and forget to ask a crucial question on the RSVP cards: does the guest have any food allergies or restrictions?
 
According to Healthline, food allergies affect 6% of adults and 8% of children — and these percentages are rising.
 
This is crucial information for your catering team, and if you don’t ask, you could be scrambling at the last minute, reaching out to guests to check and double check. A great caterer (like our own Woodland Catering) can always accommodate a last-minute change based on allergies, but better to be prepared.
 
So, on your RSVP cards, add this line: “Please indicate any food allergies or restrictions.” You need to ask this even if you are having a buffet and not a plated dinner (and are not asking for a main course selection in advance).
 
Then include their responses on the spreadsheet where you’re tracking guests and assigning tables numbers. We’ll provide a template for that closer to your event to make it easy!
 
Happy planning!

Twice a year (spring and fall), we host an open house for booked clients and invite our core team of required vendors plus a few other favorites. It's a great chance for clients and their friends/families (each couple can bring four guests) to see the venue all dressed up, get decor and floral inspiration for their own events, try delicious food from Woodland Catering, and enjoy a cocktail on us. For our Nov 6, 2022 event, our featured vendors were:
​
Woodland Catering
Beach Plum Flower Shop
PEAK Event Services
Kappy's On Call
Meritage Entertainment
Jenny's Wedding Cakes
Ebacher Photography and Phoebe the Photo Booth Camper (see photo below)
Anonymous Brewing
Mill River Winery (which is making our own Bradstreet Marquette wine for 2023!)

Thanks to all our vendors for making us look so good, especially Ebacher Photography who took all these photos! And, of course, thanks to our clients who took the time to come see us again. We'll keep you posted on the date for our spring 2023 event!
