There are not enough words of gratitude that I could write to let everyone know that the team at Canopy Grove is truly the BEST!!
We just got married there this past weekend, on 7.../22/23...and it was, quite literally, THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!
I won't lie and say every moment of the planning process went off without a hitch - there were definitely some worries when we decided to book a venue last July that was still under construction. And yes, construction didn't go as planned, but the Canopy Grove team was fantastic throughout the process...and I think the adjustments they made are even better than expected - like the fencing to make the ceremony space more private and intimate.
The finished venue is stunning. We received so many compliments from all of our guests about it being the perfect venue...and we also lucked out with some pretty perfect weather, despite the heat wave hitting southern California.
Before I go into all the details of all the things that were amazing, let me start by thanking our incredible day-of coordinator, Brinley. You are an absolute ROCKSTAR!! You made our day so incredibly special, and even when I could tell unexpected things were happening on the day, you did not let on with any stress and handled everything (including rolling those barrel tables to hold our hexagon arch inside). I heart you and truly can't thank you enough for making our day one to remember, not only for us, but also for all of our guests. And for that super special gift you left on our sweetheart table - you instantly made me cry. Sending you the absolute biggest hug. You helped make my dream day turn into a reality and I will never forget it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Just some of the compliments we received:
*food was absolutely delicious, and we had a lot of picky eaters and kids - so the fact that everyone was happy and went back for more, says everything!
*Kyon, our DJ - oh, I can't thank you enough. You kept the music during cocktail hour and dinner the exact right volume, where everyone could talk and hang out - and then got everyone on the dance floor with the incredible music you played the rest of the night. You made our night so fun and memorable, thank you thank you thank you!
*the venue is gorgeous and absolutely perfect
*the lawn games during cocktail hour were a hit
*one of the best weddings our guests have ever been to - because they truly felt taken care of (all because our Canopy Grove coordinators know exactly how to run a wedding and the timing that keeps everything moving smoothly)
*Derek the magician blew everyone away
*flowers were gorgeous (thank you Heather and whole HCD team)
*cake was beautiful and delicious (thank you Cute Cakes and HCD team for the flowers on it)
I'm sure I'm missing something...but seriously, if you want to have a beautiful wedding without all the stress (because the all-inclusive aspect of Wedgewood Weddings truly makes the process so much easier), I could not recommend Canopy Grove more. You will be so happy that you did - and your guests will compliment your wedding all night and via texts the next day. We made the absolute BEST DECISION when we said yes to the venue last summer - and my dream wedding came true because of you guys. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we could not have pulled of a more perfect day.
Sending so many hugs to the entire team. Thank you for everything. Absolutely cannot wait to get our photos back.
