We recently had our wedding on October 18, 2024, and had booked the Monroe Pearson venue in August of 2023. What sold us was that the price of the venue included pretty much everyt...hing we needed for the day: venue rental, food, drinks, tables, chairs, linens, invites, wedding planner, etc. On top of that, the venue is very spacious and, for the most part, beautifully decorated with a rustic, dark brown wood aesthetic.
Throughout the wedding planning process, we had multiple check-in calls with our assigned wedding planner, Melissa Austin, who guided us by helping us decide on different items related to the day that we had and had not even thought about. We were blessed to have had Melissa as our wedding planner, as she made the process and end product an amazing experience. Her extensive experience with weddings and overall attention to detail really shows how much of a professional she is! On the day of the wedding, she was there, ready to go, and had everything under control, which made the day less stressful for both the bride and groom. Melissa was always around in case we needed anything and was able to guide us throughout the rehearsal, ceremony, grand entrance, dinner, and dance. We really enjoyed that Melissa was able to keep us on schedule while also giving us time to enjoy and take in the moments! She never rushed us and was always cool, calm, and collected the whole time. At the end of the night, Melissa had packed up all our gifts, cards, and even separate to-go boxes with food and dessert in our send-off vehicle, which was just an amazing final touch for us, as usually the bride and groom rarely get to enjoy food and dessert. We could not have had a better planner for our big day. Thank you again, Melissa, for making the day incredible!
Honorable mentions: DJ Dani (Daniela), who kept the vibes up the whole time and nailed the type of music we wanted 1000%. She also offered to help with anything and everything that day and just played nonstop bangers the whole time.
Bartenders: All of our guests had a great experience with the bartender assigned to us. The gentleman was constantly checking up on the bride and groom, even before last call.
