Where can we even possibly begin? We chose Dean and Brown based on their previous raved reviews, and they were all of those things and more. Kevin and I are incredibly thankful for everything they have done for us over the past year. Our wedd...ing was on Saturday, and it was Dean and Brown, that made our day as perfect as it was. The Tasting: Terry and Christina are a dynamic duo that as a team takes care of food and planning (which is honestly every bride's dream come true). We had our initial tasting with them back in the Spring, and here we discussed menu options, tasted a variety of the most delicious food (oh and don't eat before hand because they prepare full courses, which made for a fun date night out!), and Terry showed us pictures of our venue (the Liriodendron) and discussed with us the variety of ways we could set up so that we could begin to formulate ideas. The Correspondance: Dean and Brown made themselves accessible throughout the year. If we e-mailed, we could expect a response within 48 hours, but it was always sooner. We had a menu item change, and they took care of it immediately sending us an updated menu within the same week. And about a month out from the wedding, as we received the final total of guest Terry immediately set up a time for us to visit the Lirio and have our in-person walk through. The Walk-through: Terry met us at the Lirio about a month before our wedding prepared with a layout blueprint of our venue. In the walk-through, we discussed table placement and decor placement. By the end of our meeting I had zero questions and I was 100% confident that everything was going to go off without a hitch. Terry reassured us that she has worked on hundreds of variations within our venue and that no matter what we had there, there would be the perfect place for it. The Wedding day: Our venue allowed us to arrive an hour and a half before the ceremony and when we arrived Terry and her team were a well-oiled machine. They welcomed us when we arrived and even helped bring things in from the car. Terry came up and reassured us everything was being taken care of and that if we had questioned just ask (I never needed to). The ceremony and reception were all a bit blurred with excitement, but I know that Terry was always right there to make sure we were alright through the ceremony and reception. And at the end of the evening, they even packed and cleaned everything up (which was a much-appreciated surprise!) The Food: The food was absolutely devine. Everyone raved about it and are still talking about it- more than one person has exclaimed how deicous everything was. I could go on and on but honestly Dean and Brown made our day perfect and for this we will always be thankful.
