Our Daughters wedding was absolutely beautiful at the Burge. From the very beginning of the planning until the very end of the reception, the Burge was so accommodating. The setting is like a fairy tale. The big house in itself is a work of ar...t, it made for a very elegant wedding. Much history is surrounding the Burge. Being able to use the big house for the girls to sleep in after the rehearsal dinner and after the wedding reception was so calming for me. They enjoyed it immensely. For us, the parents, having the cabin to stay in before and after the wedding was soothing for our nerves. We were all able to stay and enjoy the setting, mornings and nights.
Wedding planning was new to us, and there is so much to do. A planner is a tremendous asset to have. Being able to exchange ideas with someone that has enormous experience is a lifesaver. Yes, that is Dawn, the wedding planner for the Burge. Dawn is absolutely Amazing, calm, cool, and collected, when we might not have been! She can handle all, and anything. She has it down to a science. The vendors, the food, the music, all of it! Big thanks to her! Awesome! This girl knows how to organize!
The staff you cannot do without. Charming and so helpful, always making sure we had what we needed. They are dedicated to please. Always there at the right moment. Like when I tried to sneak through the kitchen after the reception was over and the front door was locked. Just don't mess with the kitchen! LOL Very accommodating though!
To see my daughter walk out of the big house with her daddy by her side, walking down the lane to the isle between the big trees was gorgeous! The big cross at the trees made it perfect. I'm tearing up just thinking back at it, and how she got to marry the love of her life in that setting, with family and friends all there.
My main compliments at the reception were the beautiful wedding and the great food! Chef Andrew, a five star chef, is very talented. From the appetizers to the prime rib, shrimp and grits, to the oysters, everything was delicious. Hats off to the chef!
We loved every minute of our daughter's special day! From the rehearsal dinner, enjoying the cabins, breakfast and lunch, getting ready with the girls to the wedding and reception. All, right at the Burge! What a wonderfully magical time and place in our lives the Burge helped create! Thanks to Dawn, Chef Andrew and all the staff of the Burge!
