Straton Hall Events

took my vision and went beyond what I could have ever imagined- when I look at my pictures I truly cannot believe that was MY wedding. It was SO BEAUTFUL. All of our guests continue to tell us it was the most beautiful and wonderful wedding they have ever been to and I owe so much of that to Stacy. The food was phenomenal. The design, the rentals, the cake, and oh my LORD the flowers were unbelievable. The staff that day went above and beyond to take care of our guests, it was seamless in the middle of a thunderstorm and nobody would have known. I could go on and on about Straton Hall but all you need to know is if you are getting married in St. Simons or really anywhere- call Stacy Bass.

cellence. We have done countless weddings with the Straton Hall team and they never lack in any area. Food is SPOT ON and creative (request the three types of mac n cheese), the set up is on time and organized, they are super responsive leading up to events, florals are impeccable, events are fun and unique. THEY DO IT ALL!!!

ommunicated with me throughout the year leading up to the big day. Thank you so much for helping make our big day so perfect!

they were the only vendor with a functional website at the time that I was choosing them, I made them my first selection. I was assured that they were the best in the state, that being said, I feel that I received subpar service because I wasn't one of their all-inclusive wedding brides, but just a client for a smaller project. It was impossibly hard to receive any e-mails and responses from them. I went months without ever hearing from them, and they were not proactive in the least bit in working with me. I supplied as many photos, examples, and descriptions of what I was looking for, however, they repeatedly refused up until the week of my wedding to supply any sort of photographs or confirmation that they "understood" what I wanted. Stacy, the owner, also called my husband, and aggressively and unprofessionally berated him, saying that he had never been so micromanaged before and that we needed to just "trust them to do their job". That being said, the wedding day came, and I had never been so sorely disappointed in my life at my wedding florals. I repeatedly vocalized my concern to the florist and the wedding venue that I was concerned that they didn't truly understand my vision of what I wanted and what they were going to do on the day of if they did not deliver. Well, it turns out, they didn't deliver what I had asked for, not even close, and nothing was done. So now, I will for the rest of my life have wedding photos that I do not want because of the flowers that I never asked for that they told me to just "trust them because I'll love them". The long and short of it is, even thinking back to all of the e-mails and conversations, the flowers don't look anything like the examples I submitted or the descriptions that I provided to them. I wanted them to submit representative examples of everything that I asked, and even then, they said that they took "inspiration" from those photos, and their "inspiration" and "interpretation" wasn't anything that I wanted in the end. It was so shocking to me that we had to have the wedding venue and other vendors that knew them to get involved before they would even respond to any e-mails or messages, and that when they finally did, they thought it was appropriate to speak so rudely to their clients. Overall, a shockingly dismal day.

and they truly did. My favorite day was Thursday before the wedding. Meg and Stacy had sooooo much fun picking out her flowers and making her bouquet and head piece. How many people would climb a tree for the perfect piece of stag horn fern??? Stacy Bass would. I knew Meg and Brad’s day would be magic and IT was. ❤️

he made me feel at ease and helped in the decision making process (which I tend to struggle with). We used Straton Hall for the rehearsal dinner, flowers, catering for the wedding, venue/wedding decor, and the bride's cake. I gave him very basic descriptions on how I wanted my flowers to look and they turned out amazing. The colors were beautiful together and everyone keeps talking about them! The food was great for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. The appetizers during cocktail hour were a huge hit! Our destination wedding was a huge success and a party we will never forget! You can't go wrong choosing Straton Hall Events!

g partners were experienced in the Golden Isles, and knew the ins and outs of event planning in the area. With over 20 years producing and coordinating countless stylish events, the choice to work with Stacy and Straton Hall was a no brainer. Stacy and his team are available at any moment to consult, advise, and collaborate to make sure every detail is perfect. From the unique and delicious food and beverage options, to the wide variety of floral and style accents available from Straton, they truly have the tools to bring your ideas to life! It was a delight working with Stacy. His calm and creative energy made planning a dream! He is beyond talented, and will truly wow you with his expertise and keen eye! Stacy and his team are incredible, passionate, and nothing less then fabulous! We are over the moon with how our wedding turned out! The day was everything thing we wanted, and more! Not only did we end up with the most magical celebration, we made memories and forged loving, lasting friendships with Stacy and his team. Love, Brad and Meg

ocal knowledge. He put us at ease, made my mom happy (which is hard to do) and created a beautiful memorable wedding. We will be forever grateful to him and his team! And the grits really are amazing. Much Love, Erica & Chris

e we got off the trolleys from the ceremony venue to the sparkler send off at the finale of the night. Jay Anderson and his team are amazing! Jay was in communication with us throughout the months of planning from taste-testing to approving reception site set-ups. The decorations were perfect, food and beverages were incredible, and the cake was absolutely beautiful. We would not have had our wedding weekend any other way!

ternally grateful for Straton Hall's wonderful work and would highly recommend them!

all Events to any newly engaged couple!

hey really made my big day so incredibly BEAUTIFUL from the cake, to the flowers and of course, the delicious food. Straton Hall Events EXCEEDED my expectations and I highly recommend them for your next event!!!

t with flowers, and Stacy really did work with us. However, the excel sheets he sends with "updated" prices are often confusing and not completely updated. I will say that this made me nervous in the planning process, but once I saw the outcome I can say that he most certainly is paying attention to what you want. **I will also note that the majority of our planning happened right after Hurricane Irma hit Georgia, so this may have had an affect on Stratons Halls catching up on missed work.

ly perfect. Jay was so helpful throughout the planning process, from suggesting the perfect menus for our wedding reception and rehearsal dinner, to designing the perfect flower arrangements, bouquets, and table settings. Thank you Straton Hall for your creativity, responsiveness, and execution. We will be sure to recommend you to every bride and groom considering a wedding in the coastal Georgia area! Best, Mary Emily & Chad

ons. The food was so good too! I received so many compliments. There is no way I could've pulled everything off without them. Everything was great, especially the food and cake. Big thanks to them!

raton. His proactive nature, unparalleled attention to detail, genuine caring and FUN personality made the planning enjoyable. We hired them for the design and rentals, FOOD, cake, FLOWERS... They took care of it all! Even though I emailed him numerous times with questions and changes, he promptly got back to me with suggestions and solid solutions. We chose the Historic City Hall in downtown Brunswick for both the ceremony AND reception. I fell in love with all of the wood and marble, the romantic feel of the place. I was very pleased with Jay's flexibility and creativity with our menu. We had a Tasting that Jay made so fun, especially for my fiancé. The menu was fresh, in season and as local as possible. I talked with Stacy and Lulu about flowers and that I wanted mostly greenery, succulents, and candles and that's exactly what we got, PLUS. There were CANDLES everywhere, along both sides of the aisle and at the front, even floating in big glass containers. There were soft purple flowers, delicate blush ones, different shades of succulents, and huge flowers called African Proteas. Gorgeous! Carla Pryor of St Simons Elopements was our officiant and she was awesome! Things went so smoothly and her words were very meaningful and perfect for us as a couple. After the ceremony, guests were asked to go downstairs for cocktails. Drinks were passed and there was a beautiful display of domestic and imported cheeses accented with flatbreads along with seasonal melons, garden fresh berries paired with fresh cream for dipping. We had a lot of moving pieces the day of the wedding and everything went off without a hitch. Jay and bartender Margo even brought us drinks and reminded us to eat. While we were mingling downstairs, the Straton team had obviously been busy upstairs. Dividing walls had been opened up and the now huge space had been turned into our reception. Tables with flowers, greenery garlands, CANDLES and food stations. The main ones had tender Chicken breasts with creamy sauce and Mushrooms, and a nice garden selection of grilled and roasted Vegetables. The Deluxe Mac and Cheese Station drew a crowd! It included what they called Delilah's Mac (a Southern seven cheese wonder!) and White Mac (Monterey Jack, White Cheddar, Mozzarella and Gruyere gooey goodness!) that you could then top with your choice of Pesto Chicken, Oven Roasted Tomatoes, Pulled Pork, Chives, Jambalaya Sauce, Bacon Bits, Andouille Sausage and Roasted Baby Sweet Peppers. Definitely DELUXE! Jay suggested Coastal Shrimp and Grits, one of Straton's signature recipes. Turned out to be THE culinary hit of the evening paired with a combination of Andouille Sausage Cream and stone ground Grits. We had so many compliments about the food that night, and our family and friends are STILL raving about how delicious everything was! The cake looked just like the photo Jay had shown his pastry chef. And tasted divine, LEMON! At the end of the evening, Stacy escorted us downstairs where our guests were waving sparklers and a sleek 1940s Cadillac was waiting for us. Mr. Martin, our chauffeur, was so kind! Another referral from Straton, Martin's Wedding Transportation. Thank you so much Straton Hall Events for making our special day perfect!

pretty much did. He made her feel SO special, and the ceremony and reception could not have been more dreamy! She was beaming the whole time, SO happy! Family and friends loved the food, especially the shrimp & grits. And the wedding cake was both delicious and beautiful! Thanks to Stacy and Lulu, her flowers and decor were just what she envisioned! Purple, green, ivory silks, flowers, candles! Gorgeous! Thanks for making my daughter's day PERFECT!

rsal Dinner at the picturesque Village Creek Landing and for our wedding ceremony and reception flowers. Everything was out of this world. Finally, I cannot thank Stacy enough for not only the time and energy he put into my wedding, but also the friendship and honesty he provided. Great vendor. Great people. You cannot go wrong.

orations were absolutely perfect!

and we came across Straton Hall Events (thanks to our coordinator at Design South Studios) and I couldn't have been happier with the selection! I worked with Jay from the beginning and he was knowledgeable of our venue (Casino Building/Atrium) and put together a fantastic menu for our Low Country Boil theme. He worked with our budget, was quick to respond, and coordinated a beautiful rustic layout with props and wildflowers! We continue to receive compliments on the meal (especially the tomato&cucumber salad, mac&cheese, and cornbread) in addition to a spread of southern deserts (pecan pie, banana pudding, and carrot cake). Everything were incredible! Furthermore - huge compliments to the Chef, Bartender, & Wait staff for a wonderful reception/evening!

on. They were all absolutely amazing!!!! The luncheon was done in their loft and the girls all had wonderful food, drinks and made their own bouquets with Stacy's help. It was so unique and fun! The loft is a beautiful area and the experience was top notch. The wedding cake and the cannoli tower that they made was absolutely delicious and so beautiful. What talent they possess! As if all of that wasn't enough, the venue was decorated to the hilt by their team and looked so lovely! They absolutely take care of every little detail and are true professionals in every way. Book them and then don't give anything another thought. They have it all under control!!!

r needs and go well beyond in the execution of the event. We were very pleased and highly recommend them for ALL your event needs.

l me until a couple weeks before that there was a $3000 minimum for our wedding date. We might have gone somewhere else had we known since we only had 30 guests.
