Dream rustic wedding venue! 🌳🌸💍🥰✨
We first discovered Lotuswood through attending a friend’s wedding here, and I had such a good impression of the venue that I decided to have... my own here as well.
Our wedding was late May of this year, and we had a great experience from start to finish. The venue itself is very beautiful. We used the forest area for our ceremony and had our reception in the barn. Our florist and friends did an amazing job decorating the ceremony arch, and the final result really captured the floral, forest, rustic vibe I had envisioned 🥰 I especially loved the long walk down the path to the ceremony. It really added a sense of anticipation and made the ceremony feel even more special and emotional.
We got ready in the farmhouse, which has an open space, perfect for the wedding party to get ready in the morning and also practice our dances.
Another highlight was the food at Lotuswood which was super yummy! It’s very fresh and flavorful, and made with organic ingredients from their farm. We had a tasting before the wedding, where my husband loved the pistachio-crusted wild salmon and I fell in love with the melt-in-your-mouth braised beef short ribs, so we decided to serve them as our entrées.
At the time, I worried whether the meat on the actual wedding day would be prepared as well as it was at the tasting, considering the volume of orders they would need to fill day-of. Andrea assured me it wouldn't be a problem, and indeed she was right. People say that brides forget to or barely eat on their wedding day, but I finished every ounce of my beef short ribs and left not a bite on my plate, lol 😋 thinking about it now makes me want to eat it again... It was that yummy! After the wedding, Andrea was thoughtful enough to pack some leftovers for us to take home. It was a small but appreciated gesture. Later, we also heard many of our guests talk about how much they loved the food!
The staff at Lotuswood were a pleasure to work with. I did most of my wedding planning remotely, so a lot of our communication happened over email. Even though I wasn't able to visit the venue very often, they were always helpful with providing measurements, answering my questions, and just in general being super accommodating to my requests.
Andrea has a really calm, pleasant, and welcoming demeanor, Christine was always on top of everything and kept our schedule running smoothly, checking in with us on progress throughout the months leading up, and Rainey brought such positive, happy energy that made us even more excited as our wedding day approached ☺️✨
All in all, we are so happy with how our wedding day turned out, and our pictures came out beautifully as well. We are very grateful to Kannan, Andrea, Christine, and Rainey for helping make the day so memorable. Thank you for hosting us and giving us such a special place to celebrate! 💖
