Historic Hope Glen Farm & Vineyard- Treehouse Suite!

I have been a meetings, events and catering manager for over 20 years, so to say that I had high expectations of my second wedding is an understatement. The thing is, I didn’t want to stress about it. I wanted it to be fun, relaxed, beautiful, run smoothly and allow me to be present without running around and doing everything. I didn’t want to be a Bridezilla. Coming from the industry, I knew that the only way to make something run smoothly is to work with vendors who can be your partners, and you can trust to take your vision and execute it without micromanagement. That is what I found at Hope Glen Farms. Eryka and her team executed my vision perfectly. The venue was amazing. The different areas for people to move around to means you aren’t stuck in one location sitting in a ballroom chair for 4+ hours. It was thundering, lightning and pouring rain all morning. I wasn’t worried, because if we needed to there was a perfectly magical Option B in the pavilion in front of the fireplace. It cleared up, and we had the most perfect, exactly the way we wanted it, wedding and party with our family and friends. From the planning meetings with Eryka, who is way more detailed about her space, even than I am, to the staff that stayed until the last box was packed up, we always knew there was someone besides me that had thought of everything. I am “extra” so of course I needed to add a little, or a lot more to everything. However, Hope Glen has almost everything. The Bridal Bliss package can make your wedding beautiful without you breaking the bank on items you will never use again. They really have thought of everything. My florist, who is also an events and catering manager, loved working with the on-site team so much that she picked up some shifts working as a day of coordinator over the summer. The Treehouse is where we choose to have our wedding night. It was like being little kids in a tree house, climbing the ladder to the top to look at the stars. The massive tub was amazing when my legs were so tired from dancing all night and to wake up with a cup of coffee and sit on the swing chairs in the treetops was one of the most relaxing moments I had experienced in the six months of planning. We forgot to look for the secret room. Guess we need to go back.
