I hosted my daughter's bridal shower at the Coachmen's Lodge this past weekend, and I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out. Dani Larue, the event coordinator, wo...rked closely with both my daughter-in-law and me from start to finish — taking the time to walk us through every option and making sure no detail was overlooked. From our very first planning conversation to the moment guests arrived, he made the entire experience seamless and truly beautiful!
The covered outdoor patio was simply beautiful — potted flowers, rose bushes framing a tranquil pond with a gorgeous fountain,and ivory tablecloths and lilac napkins made it the perfect setting for a shower.
We went with the Shower Lux Buffet, and we couldn't have been happier. The wait staff greeted each guest with a personal touch, offering a choice of their homemade Blueberry Sangria or a Mimosa to kick things off — and honestly, either way you couldn't go wrong. Guests were welcomed by a front buffet table filled with cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, french toast sticks with maple syrup, and beautiful assorted mini yogurt parfaits before the main lunch — everything was delicious.
For the main meal, we went with a combination of brunch-style dishes. The spread included a garden salad, warm dinner rolls, honey roasted ham, baked rigatoni in a pink vodka cream sauce, parmesan roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and a roasted vegetable medley — rounded out with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and sausage, and biscuits. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and guests really enjoyed the food! We capped it all off with an assortment of mini desserts from Wright's Farm, and they were the perfect ending to the meal.
Everyone seemed to have had a great time, especially my daughter — the one who mattered most! I got several texts afterward from guests saying how perfect and beautiful everything turned out.
I can't recommend this venue enough. The wait staff went above and beyond — attentive, gracious, and genuinely focused on the guests — and Dani made a point of being there in person to ensure the entire event went off without a hitch! Thank you!!
