Getting married at Southall Meadows was truly a magical experience. From the moment we toured the space, we knew it was where we wanted to capture this memory. We opted to pursue t...he Design Package, which included full-service planning, design, and coordination. This included everything from catering, the cake, drapery, to florals. Sarah and Ally turned our Pinterest board into a reality. We only met a total of 4 times and exchanged just a handful of emails. They understood my vision from the beginning and delivered on each and every detail. They remained flexible throughout, incorporating last minute requests and changes without hesitation. My husband and I come from different cultural backgrounds and had very little knowledge of a traditional Western wedding. Sarah and Ally made the entire process stress free by leading the planning, asking the right questions at the right times, and making suggestions along the way. They remained patient and supportive as we navigated the entire process, which was completely foreign to us. They managed the budget perfectly, remaining transparent about cost and never deviating from the budget.
The day of weddings is known to be stressful, but Ally made the entire day so special and calm. Not only were the grounds immaculate and clean (including the bridal party suite), but we were continuously fed, hydrated, and remained on schedule. I didn’t have to check the time once! I recall a specific moment before the ceremony when Ally had the caterers bring the entire wedding party appetizers to ensure we weren’t hungry. She also brought my husband and I our custom His and Hers cocktails (a very thoughtful touch). Having never seen any of the décor prior to the day of the wedding, I was anxious to see how it all came together. The ceremony was so beautiful under the large tree, and the reception was STUNNING with the sunlight peeping through the cracks in the tobacco barn. Everything was even more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. Not a single detail was overlooked, and all of our guests truly enjoyed themselves. We cannot thank the planning team at Southall Meadows enough for making our wedding dreams a reality, and often wish we could relive the day.
