If you want a magical, fairy tale wedding that looks like it was tucked away in a picturesque courtyard, book at HollyHedge!! It was the first venue we toured, and every other opti...on was strictly compared to how lovely HollyHedge was. In the end, we knew our gut feeling was right, and that we definitely wanted to book our wedding here. The staff there are PROS and Michele is ON TOP of everything! She will also give you her honest opinions in order to save you money and provide a memorable experience for you and your guests. My mom and I loved and appreciated that honesty.
During the planning process, we never had to feel frazzled about all of elements handled by HollyHedge. Michele, Key (before she left), and Meredith always made us feel at ease, and helped us with all of our decisions. Not only is HollyHedge the venue, but they also handle catering and desserts. The appetizers were delicious (the chicken and waffle bites were a hit!), and I loved the variety they offered. We ended up serving filet mignon, duck breast, salmon en croute, and a vegan option. And wow the cake! As an hobby baker, this was the most important food element for me, and their pastry chef did not disappoint! Half of our tiers were earl grey tea cake with strawberry mousse, and the other half was lavender cake with lemon mousse. We received so many compliments on the unique flavors.
As for the event itself, we had a morning storm, a downed tree and power outages to deal with all before the event. The HollyHedge team worked hard to keep things running smoothly, and by the time of the ceremony, you would have no idea that anything went wrong. We didn't worry about a single detail once the ceremony started. I got to keep the ceremony outside, and I can't rave enough about the natural beauty that surrounds their courtyard. The vines, trees and other greenery provided a stunning, romantic background for our wedding, and the photos looked amazing! Many, many thanks to the HollyHedge team for our dream wedding!!
