We couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married than at Addison Woods Wedding & Event Venue. We wanted a venue that resembled a church as closely as possible so we could r...eally honor The Lord in our ceremony. The Laura May Chapel’s all-white interior with pews, multiple windows, and beautiful wooden cross on the altar was just what we envisioned. The reception barn being on the same property was a plus as well! That way, our guests wouldn’t have to worry about getting from one place to another.
On our wedding day, the bridesmaids enjoyed getting ready in the gorgeous bridal suite and changing room upstairs in the reception barn. To say the groomsmen enjoyed the groom’s cabin was an understatement—they took full advantage of the 3 tv monitors, pool table, poker table, and putting green.
On top of the venue, we opted for an all-inclusive package that came with month-of wedding coordination, florals, linens, and catering. Lasagna House III was on the list of preferred vendors for catering, and we actually tried their delicious food at two other weddings. You can never go wrong with Italian! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting with Matt, the owner, at the restaurant and selecting the food our guests ended up loving! We picked the meat/cheese and fruit/veggie platter for people to enjoy while they waited for us to take photos during cocktail hour—nothing is worse than “hangry” wedding guests! Some of our guests had dietary restrictions, and Matt made sure they had tasty meals to enjoy as well. He also assured us there would be plenty of food for our guests and gave us an option to share the remaining food with an organization that feeds homeless individuals. We love that he truly cares about serving people in and outside of his restaurant!
Shannon from Event Artistry took great care of us and provided our month-of coordination, linens, and florals. During the planning process, she was patient with us and made sure she understood our vision. She gave excellent suggestions about things we didn’t even think of and assured we wouldn’t have anything to worry about on our wedding day—and we didn’t! She made our dream wedding a reality. Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about how the chapel and reception barn looked. She and Dakota, her assistant for our wedding day, communicated with us clearly so we knew how the events would flow. Everything went smoothly since Shannon worked closely with our other vendors for years. Event Artistry did their best to ensure we really enjoyed our wedding. We highly recommend them to couples who don’t want the stress of planning, but still want the experience of making their wedding day theirs!
Our wedding day was perfect in our eyes and if we could do it all over again at Addison Woods, we would!
