We had such a magical wedding event with Jackie and Larisa at My Vineyard Elopement this past July 9, 2015!
Throughout the entire process, Jackie was very inquisitive and thoughtful in every detail of planning. She spent hours speaking wi...th both me and my husband over the phone to learn our tastes and understand what we envisioned as our "perfect" wedding day. We reside in St. Louis, MO and I had never visited New England but my husband is from Marblehead, MA and spent many summers at the Vineyard. I was not quite certain about leaving him to plan our wedding day details :)
So, I googled "elopements in the vineyard" and thankfully found Jackie! Jackie has very elegant and classic taste. She did an incredible job in choosing the florist, the baker for our cake and the hair/makeup session. Most importantly, and forever memorable will be the wedding location site and the dinner that followed. She listened to our desires and picked a stunning location in Menemsha. We were outside and she created a very small romantic environment using a beautifully decorated table with candles, champagne, chocolate, table cloth, and our cake. She planned our wedding dinner at the Beach Plum Inn which was also outstanding. This allowed us to have a lovely walk across the pasture, past a few farm animals and snap a lot of great pictures.
The wedding pictures by Larisa were also so incredibly thoughtful! I had no idea that an elopement would feel exactly like the "big wedding day" I had experienced years ago except with only 5 of us there. Jackie and Larisa's attention to detail is superb! They arrived in our hotel room before we started getting ready for our ceremony and took pictures of the dress, rings, shoes etc. They captured family photos there and Larisa drove in the limo with us to the wedding site and snapped more fabulous pictures. Our ENTIRE wedding day was captured from start to finish by Larisa! She created fun and romantic poses, she was meticulous about lighting and positioning. We had a blast with her! She emailed our photos and we were able to print or email them electronically as we wished.
My Vineyard Elopement is an extremely customer service oriented business. Jackie does not leave any detail unattended to. Her ability to write the perfect wedding ceremony/vows, plan the entire experience and document it with photos is just truly commendable! She is a very sweet, kind and loving person, that shined through in every interaction we had together.
In conclusion, her fee is very nominal in my opinion. She has truly made planning an elopement, one stop shopping. I couldn't have asked for anything further and I absolutely recommend her and Larisa for anyone who is planning a wedding. You WILL NOT be disappointed! We will be forever grateful to them for creating the most memorable day of our new life together.
Thank you!
