We had a DIY wedding, so the gorgeous views and structure of this venue really added a lot and meant that I didn't need to add too many extra decorations. I love that even with the Bronze Package (the shortest length of time offered) we still ...

received chairs, tables, linens, lanterns to decorate with, floral centerpieces, and one person from the venue to help out on the day of the wedding. I was SO GLAD to have her (I think her name was Brandy?). As we were setting up that morning we realized I had not made enough decorations and we were running late...but I had extra materials and she offered to help so that I could get ready. She also helped out in the kitchen, and when we changed our mind about the setup of the chairs and tables she helped with that too. This was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and I am truly grateful to everyone at Smithview for making this experience as smooth as planning a wedding could possibly be.
