We had a wonderful experience working with Lark and Janine at Once Upon a Time Events. Planning a wedding in 2020 was extremely challenging and they were flexible, communicative, s...
upportive, and professional throughout the process. They worked with us to make sure that we could reschedule from May to October, and when we did have our wedding in the fall they were outstanding hosts, going above and beyond to make sure everything went as we hoped. In addition, they have good relationships with potential vendors and were happy to put us in touch with individuals or businesses they thought would provide us with the best services at reasonable costs. The venue itself is beautiful any time of year, and all our guests (even socially-distanced!) had a wonderful time, raving about the venue and amazingly lovely hosts. We would absolutely recommend Once Upon a Time Events!

y times and always remembered who we were, our date, etc. Customer service like that goes a long way! We went on other venue tours and all of those were not nearly as personalized, let alone the people couldn't get our names/desired date straight.
The day of, they were as hands on as we wanted them to be; helping our vendors with anything they needed but truly being unseen by our guests. This venue met every part of our wishlist- BYOB, space for a food truck, space to get ready and outdoor ceremony site! We were so pleased we chose this wedding venue!

answer any questions. I would shoot them an email and in no less than an hour later I would get an answer back. They let my husband and I come to the venue numerous times family and friends to plan for our big day.
