Can you say PERFECT?! I have nothing but positive things to say about Kendall Plantation as a venue itself, but the wonderful venue owner, Kristin is a whole other story!
Besides KP's obvious beauty and elegance, the flawless transition betwee...n indoors and outdoors is just perfect. Whether you're looking for a indoor venue or outdoor venue, KP has you covered. You can truly make this venue your own. The interior is as beautiful in person as it is in pictures, TRUST ME! Nothing about the interior or exterior is overpowering, making this venue a blank slate. It's very apparent that this venue is well kept with love and that is probably one of the most attracting things about it. The grounds are nothing but perfect, groomed with love and precision. I feel as though KP's grounds yield some of the most unique and beautiful photo opportunities that you won't find anywhere else. Just WOW!
I happened to stumble upon KP while out searching for another venue in the area with my sister in law. We passed the KP sign off the main road and thought "might as well check this one out since we're here" as I had seen it online prior. Upon our approach to the KP driveway, I got that feeling every bride waits for, but never thinks will happen to them. "THIS IS IT!". If its regal elegance wasn't enough to attract me, the venue owner, Kristin was for sure the cherry on top and the deciding factor for us. Kristin is nothing short of fabulous. She is professional, fun, incredibly personable and genuine, but most of all she is REAL. Kristin was so understanding and flexible with all of our requests, I don't believe we would have found someone willing to work with us anywhere else. I say that with all seriousness.
Weddings anymore today are a business and you're fooling yourselves if you think they aren't. As newlyweds, it's easy to get caught up in all the excitement and not see through the false compassion that so many vendors try to show. As a bride, we tend to forget that we are walking dollar signs to so many vendors, and most of them only care about that signed check. Kristin is THE exception. She is one of the most genuine people I've met and from day one I felt as though she was as invested in my wedding as I was. She didn't make my day feel like a business deal, but rather a special day for her as well! This was everything to me and ultimately the main reason why we choose to go with KP. I can honestly say that having her as the venue owner and being able to work with her was more important than what the venue looked like.
Lastly, I will also say that KP's preferred vendor list is on point, and instead of taking on the daunting task of sourcing all of my vendors myself, I used her list with confidence and was incredibly happy with all of my vendors. If you end up picking KP as a venue, I highly recommend picking off her list, as Kristin has a good reputation with all of the vendors and in turn the vendors all have a good reputation with Kristin.
I'll conclude with saying, thank you so much for being a huge part of our day, I will always have a special place in my heart for KP for years to come. I wish you continued success, KP!
