Everyone said it was a mistake to book with the first vendor I met with, but I knew they'd be wrong. I had been eyeing Dell-Lea as our wedding venue for a full year prior to settin...g up our first meeting. Every review was perfect, the packages were very transparent, and I fell in love with the history of the property. After touring it, there was no way we'd be getting married anywhere else ! I chose to invest in their wedding planner package. Working full time and going to school made that a very easy decision! Now let me tell you, even if your schedule isn't packed and you know all the tips & tricks & diy's to save on not booking a planner, YOU'RE WRONG! I cannot express enough how much adoration I have for Ashley Haglund. The whole planning process was so smooth for me. From the monthly to weekly check ins, her quick responses to any questions I had, the spreadsheet(!), and her flexibility to get on the phone with me when I was feeling overwhelmed... I could not have asked for more! The rehearsal dinner and the entire wedding day was a dream. I shouldn't give her all the credit because Toutou and David truly have an amazing team. I watched Ashley do everything from directing guests, managing our party, breaking down our floral arrangements from the ceremony to reuse them inside for decor, and serving dinner plates. Whatever needed to be done to make the night smooth and keep things off of my husband and me so we could just enjoy our most joyous day, Ashley did it. Again, I cannot speak highly enough about her. Her services, work ethic, and enthusiasm is worth investing in. It truly made my wedding experience wonderful. Dell-Lea is an absolutely gorgeous property with very talented chefs who create delicious cuisine and the nicest servers and bartenders. I received so many compliments from my guests on all of those points. I typically only had to communicate with Ashley but whenever I did need to speak with Toutou or David their responses were always timely.
I could not recommend Dell-Lea enough to all future couples!
