Vecoma At The Yellow River

ful. The decorations were lovely, and food delicious. I would definitely recommend Vecoma as a wedding venue.

ating all stress for us. Caroline easily accommodated every request we had to make our day uniquely ours. The staff worked seamlessly together so that on our wedding day nobody has asking me or my husband all those little detail questions that stress you out. We got numerous compliments on the food, DJ and photographs which were all provided by Vecoma. I could not have asked for a better day and I know that is all thanks to Caroline and her amazing staff!

are very affordable! They take care of everything from the meal to the table cloths. I highly recommend Vecoma!!

t in the case or rain, there were some beautiful covered options as well. The reception area was elegant and sophisticated and we were able to arrange it in a way that worked for our number of guests and the look we were going for. So glad we went with Vecoma for our wedding. It set the stage for a beautiful day!

member with a large umbrella. I also liked how they served my husband and I at our table and checked back frequently to see if we needed anything. We used also used Vecoma Photography and DJ Kirk. Having in-house photography and DJ services is very convenient, but we also loved working with Caroline and DJ Kirk. They were very responsive to our requests and I have received nothing but glowing reviews from my guests about the venue, photography, and DJ. Vecoma was the perfect location for our rustic but elegant wedding.

a wonderfully affordable option, staffed with people who truly care about making your wedding day everything you could’ve imagined and more. Thank you for a wonderful day, Vecoma!

nd and majority of our guest were unable to eat it and we had to eat our biscuits plain. Other than that I was extremely happy with this venue and their services.

e they allot, 3.5 hours was not nearly enough time. Other than that, Vecoma is a beautiful venue, the food and drinks are superb, and their service is impeccable!

their in house DJ, contracted Officiant, and Photographer AND it was all placed on one invoice so you did not have to worry about dealing with multiple vendors and payments. I would recommend this Venue to anyone and everyone. It was affordable and relaxed. Everyone present at our Wedding and Reception could not stop talking about how beautiful this place was.

and we receive a response. Every professional and loving environment. We can’t thank you all enough.

be more happy with the staff. They walk you through everything, and the end result was beautiful!

g. I would highly recommend this venue!

y! Everyone loved the venue! Got so many compliments after the wedding on how I found it cause it’s just right here in snellville! Thank you Vecoma for a great experience!

remendously. All of the staff was professional and willing to help with a smile. The food was exceptional. My guests are still talking about it two weeks later. A sneek peek of my wedding photos was posted to social media a few days after the ceremony and they are GORGEOUS. I would not have been as calm a bride as I was without the team at Vecoma! I would recommend them to any and everybody!!

guests were just in aw that this venue was right outside of Atlanta and had no clue it was there. Truly a hidden gem in the Atlanta area. A Must See!!!!!! Great, great value!!!! You owe it to yourself to SEE THIS VENUE!

onal. Im so happy i chose this place!

must be! We got married on September 16th and couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Caroline was patient, helpful, and accommodating from the very beginning. We looked at 4 venue spaces around the Atlanta area and Vecoma was the only place we found that had the most reasonably priced food and alcohol and ALL IN HOUSE-NO hoops and extra charges to have to look for. We loved that there were vendor recommendations and they were familiar with the space and how everything operated. Bloom with Jenna did our flowers and did a wonderful job. The Village Corner did our cake and it was delicious. I loved that we didn't need to spend a lot of time or money on decorations because the venue is beautiful and I didn't want to take away from the natural feel. My only recommendations would be the food: not the most glamorous (we didn't care to spend too much time worrying about the menu anyways), but so minor in the grand scheme of the day and what we remembered and what the guests loved about it all. We were well taken care of. We would recommend this venue to anybody looking for a unique and beautiful wedding experience. Thank you Vecoma for making our day EXACTLY what we wanted!!!

ly well priced compared to some other venues we looked at. We booked our wedding out almost a year in advance, and every time we ever messaged the venue with a question, we had a response within hours. They were extremely responsive and easy to work with. You can also make easy payments online. They do require you to use their catering and bar services, but the food was delicious, and the wait staff was very attentive during the event. The grounds and inside the reception building are already beautifully decorated, so you don’t need to do much decorating of your own. Considering the ease of communication, plenty of parking onsite, private use of the grounds, and reasonable prices, I would highly recommend using Vecoma for your wedding venue.

Great, great, people.

re still raving about how delicious it was), the photographers captured every moment so that we can cherish memories for a lifetime,..I can go on and on. Brides, checkout this venue before you go anywhere else. Vecoma makes it easy. They take care of EVERYTHING (rehearsal, set-up, food, music, drinks to include alcohol if you'd like, a photographer that makes a wedding book for you, and someone to officiate the ceremony if needed). The staff paid such meticulous attention to every detail throughout the entire process that it allowed me to focus on other things (dress, wedding colors, florist, honeymoon,....). We had the time of our lives.....Thanks Vecoma!

r us as well! If you are looking for a beautiful place that has it all, Vecoma is it!

on us throughout the whole time. I really loved how secluded the venue was and that we had private parking! Highly Recommend!

of our needs. They are a so quick to respond to our questions and the venue has everything we could ask for! The outside ambiance and inside coziness is perfect for our fall wedding. So happy we chose Vecoma for our special day!

you. Caroline, the owner, and her husband were our photographers and WOW! They took 670 outstanding pictures and we got them all at no additional cost. Vecoma also provides the food and beverages. We went with the Cajun menu and it was DELICIOUS! We also used their DJ, Kirk, and thought he really kept the reception on schedule and the party dancing! The décor both inside and outside is absolutely stunning. I definitely recommend checking this venue out. Their FB page has tons of pictures you can see before you go. Three words to describe Vecoma - Beautiful, affordable, easy (I cannot stress this enough - Caroline and her team have this down pat, I didn't have to worry about anything!)

, that staff was accommodating to our tight schedule, because both of my parents live out of state, we were able to get the ball rolling pretty quickly and easily. I'm am still amazed that it has been so easy for us to be taken care of with the help of the flexible staff, answering questions via email and the phone in the same day. We love that fact that Vecoma has been so understanding with my fiancé's changing schedule with Dekalb Couny Fire Recruit School. Due to the fact that I sprung a wedding on my parents so quickly, less than a year, the value for a wedding here is unbelievable! It has been extremely stress free with affordable in house catering with vegetarian options and even the option of an in house DJ. An affordable one stop shop!

, our pictures came out beautiful and beyond my expectations. During the wedding planning process, Vecoma was very helpful with anything I had questions about, and they were very responsive to my emails. Vecoma is almost all inclusive which I really like. They have a fabulous in house DJ, wedding coordinator for the wedding day, 2 meetings before the wedding, ceremony rehearsal on site (which I will add was very quick and went smoothly because Vecoma is very organzied), great photography pricing, and the alcohol/food comes from Vecoma. Their open bar is the best choice (it saved us the most money with the amount of guests that attended the wedding). The alcohol selection is great, they have basically anything you want. The food is delicious, we had the Italian feast with a roast beef carving station. I also really liked that Vecoma has 3 options for your ceremony. You can have it outdoors alongside the river, on the covered deck, or inside by the fireplace. I was really bummed because it rained on my wedding day, so the ceremony had to be moved inside by the fireplace instead of by the river; however, looking back, I don't regret having the ceremony indoors. The lighting and decorations inside are so nice, and looked wonderful in person and in pictures. After the ceremony, it stopped raining so we were able to take some pictures outside as well. Overall, I am so impressed with Vecoma.

nce has been way more than I could have expected with Caroline and staff willing to work with me.

memorable.

ry helpful by allowing us to tweak the menu, being flexible about having it inside or outside,and more. She also did the photography for the wedding, and we are SUPER pleased. The pictures are beautiful. The food was delicious! We had chicken and waffles and it was GREAT. If you have a morning wedding, the brunch option is fantastic!

ATERERS, PHOTOGRAPHY WAS ALSO PROVIDED BY VECOMA, HIGH QUALITY PHOTOS, WE CHOSE THE DJ AT VECOMA AS WELL, HE WAS EXCELLENT, MADE IT REALLY FUN. WE WERE OVERALL COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH OUR ENTIRE EVENT. VECOMA EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE LIMITED BUDGET WE HAD AVAILABLE. I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATED ALL THE ASSISTANCE THEY GAVE US FOR THE VERY SHORT TIME FRAME LESS THAN 60 DAYS...lol, YES, UNBELIEVABLE I KNOW!!! THE STAFF WAS MORE THAN HELPFUL WITH PLANNING & COORDINATING THIS EVENT. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT INCREDIBLY PERFECT.

ndle stress well. As I searched for venues I found nothing that was in my budget and fit our personalities. I came across Vecoma and fell in love! I did all of my research (stalking) on the venue read all of the amazing reviews and decided to take a tour. During my tour I was pretty much sold. The staff was super sweet, all prices were already broken down for me so I didn't have to guess and do math on if it fit my budget or not. There were so many options to make it work for us. Being that Vecoma is pretty much a one stop shop for 90% of the vendors you need for a wedding, it's been a super easy no stress journey. Even after I set my date they wer sooooo flexible with me! Vecoma reminds me of a family home. It feels like home, family, and love. They operate in excellence and are so professional. I'm so excited to have them in my corner for my big day!!!

ions, and so much more. The staff was amazing. Caroline made sure everything ran smoothly. Catering was included, which was great, and the staff set up plates for my husband and I so we could sit down and eat, which was fantastic. Plus, with the weather so perfect, everyone wound up chilling and talking on the back deck. It was just too gorgeous to stay inside. Overall, lovely day thanks in part to Vecoma at the Yellow River.

lighting best!!

much!!!

ot need any additional décor! The day of my wedding was PERFECT the staff was very attentive, professional, and just awesome. This place rocks!!!! I highly recommend having your next event here! Also Caroline does photography and her pictures are wonderful!

outdoor wedding ceremony on the banks of the Yellow River was lovely. For the ceremony, the bride and groom stood under an arbor with a view to the river flowing past behind it. After the ceremony, the reception was held up at Vecoma's lodge. That setting is incredible as well. Our guests all had a wonderful time eating a delicious dinner and then dancing the night away. From the moment we booked the venue, until the last moment of the reception, Caroline and her staff were kind and helpful. Vecoma was definitely the perfect choice for our daughter's wedding.

autiful, romantic as well as stunning. After almost 7 months of searching and visiting venues I found the Vecoma at the Yellow River. It was everything I was looking for. Literally, from the drapery on the ceilings to the river behind the georgeous ceremony area. You can have your wedding inside or out. I love options. The décor, food, set up and breakdown is included in the price. The food is delicious! We tried the food during the food tasting we were invited to. There are plenty of options for every taste. The décor is to die for. Beautiful wall décor, and greenery. They include centerpieces if you choose or use your own. The Vecoma is just georgous all around. The outside (front and back) to the deck and the inside will take your breath away. But the absolute best part about the Vecoma is the wonderful people. I felt like I was the only bride in the world. They are so personable and answered all of my 2,365,158,265 questions with a smile and without making me feel like a bother. From the staff to the actual owners I always felt like a princess. They 100% saved our day and we forever grateful for it. If you are still searching, do yourself one of the greatest favors ever and visit The Vecoma at the Yellow River. You will not be disappointed! -Sherita

the Atlanta metro area. It was the one and only place we visited and we knew immediately it was the right place for our laid-back, vintage inspired wedding. We held our wedding here on June 19, 2016 and couldn't have been happier with the end result. Caroline and her staff consistently communicated through the whole process. They put me at ease at the 2-month planning consult. They took down notes to know what I wanted for the day of and have so much experience that they know exactly the things they need to know from overwhelmed brides to help make the big day run smoothly. The day of the wedding I felt completely at ease because the staff is spectacular. The staff helped make sure the people setting up the reception area had everything they needed, Caroline was efficient as our photographer and the staff made sure everyone had what they needed throughout the reception. Vecoma caters the reception and the food is spectacular. Many of our guests commended the food. The outdoor setting near the Yellow River is beautiful and the indoor reception area is perfectly romantic. I cannot say enough good things about this wedding venue. It has everything a couple could need to have the wedding of their dreams. I truly thank Caroline and her staff for a wonderful day we'll always remember!

which is nestled right along the Yellow River, and even better, we LOVED the newly renovated outdoor arbor and walkway for our ceremony. The venue truly is breathtakingly beautiful! Vecoma’s staff was very professional and accommodating and made everything run smoothly throughout the entire wedding planning process. Vecoma is your one stop shop as they provide beautiful décor for the ceremony and reception, delicious food at an affordable cost, and even better, the venue’s owner, Caroline, is an amazing photographer that knows how to capture all of the precious moments of your big day. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the Atlanta area, I would look no further! Vecoma is the PERFECT place for you and your spouse to say “I Do”!

guarantee you won't be disappointed.

l feels intimate. The food was to die for!! Caroline made the planning a breeze. She was there with me through the whole thing. The day of the wedding she was snapping breathtaking photos. This is a family owned and business. Her husband was our minister, her and her son were the photographers and you could see how close her and all the staff were. They were so professional! My day was perfect thanks to Caroline, the staff and the beautiful venue!

was and how good the food was that they prepared. The bar was open and unlimited. For the money and the quality and overall experience there is no better place to have your wedding. It was truly ABSOLUTELY beautiful!

em of a place was so close to home! PERFECT for outdoor weddings and emergency indoor option just in case it rains. Extremely affordable for any bride on a budget! You will not regret it!

that my special day was just like I wanted. The were very professional and courteous from beginning to end. They allowed me to customize the menu and it was great. I loved how they had such a " can do" attitude about everything! The wedding rocked, everyone is still talking about it thanks to Vecoma and their excellent team!

your questions ! I would recommend this venue over and over again ! It makes your wedding dreams come true .

agement and staff who were attentive to details of our reception.

ever heard of Vecoma, but kept running across it on sites. At the time their website wasn't as developed as now so I wasn't quite sure. I had been to 5 venues, had huge packets of info and just felt like maybe I should elope when I sent an inquiry to Vecoma. Caroline instantly responded with a general quote (WOW!! maybe I COULD do this) and invited me for a visit. They have open houses on Saturday mornings, and I HIGHLY recommend that you go because if you have visited any other venue you will instantly see the differences. There is no pressure, you aren't locked into a time frame, you are free to walk the grounds, look at previous wedding books, talk to staff, all so low key and no stress! You can price out items, look at menus, and simply be relaxed. Not only is the venue stunning and has multiple options in terms of ceremony and reception, what truly make the venue is the staff. On my Saturday tour, it was the staff that helped me solidify my choice in less than 30 minutes, something I had agonized over for months! In terms of pricing - you can make any budget work here! It is clear cut, nothing hidden, easily explained, you know up front what you are dealing with and if you want to add or change things they are completely fluid. They have payment plans that are manageable and take a huge stress away! They have the BEST menu choices and pricing available, including the best full bar pricing! I purchased a full bar and they even included 2 complimentary passed hors d'ourves. The other thing you will find is that they do not nickel and dime you to death, there is no charge for turning on the twinkle lights, you can use their mirrors, votives, fishbowls, wood centerpieces and anything else that is considered a "house item" FREE of charge. They give you the freedom to express yourself in decorations, you get to bring your own cakes with NO cutting fee! I had 4 cakes and 5 pies, 9 total and NO EXTRA CHARGE. They even provided the cutting utensils and sliced and served! It is the little things here, the level of personal service, the relaxed atmosphere, the freedom to be yourself that make it truly stand apart. The other thing is you don't have just ONE person who helps you. There is literally an army! Caroline is simply Wonderwoman and from managing the venue to being the best photographer and is so down to earth, she will make all worries disappear! Caitlin, Judity, Cathy, all answered tons of questions, quickly responded to emails, and made being a bride EASY. On the day of we didn't realize ALL of the staff come together to help you set up, put out decorations, find a bandaid, help with wardrobe malfunctions, I was amazed! The food....incredible! We didn't make it to a tasting, but I trusted reviews and it was impeccable, best chefs, people are still commenting on it! DJ/photography - they have both in-house if you choose and the prices can't be beat! Caroline's pics you can see online and DJ Kirk makes it a breeze and you can pick all of your own songs or he will help if needed. All included in your invoicing! I'm running out of room so the bottomline is this - check them out, you will be amazed, it will be perfect, your guests will be in awe, and your wallet will thank you!

was perfect. I honestly couldn't even imagine getting married on the lawn now- the deck was just perfect. The staff was there with us every step of the way to make sure we had everything that we wanted, and everything that we needed. One of the things we most appreciated was the vendor day that Vecoma held- a day where their preferred vendors come to the venue to share their services with you. We found our florist (amazingly fantastic- my bouquet blew me away!), pie baker (pies, no cakes, and so delicious!), and DJ (read the room all night and kept it going!). We felt confident going in knowing our vendors knew and had worked in the space before so there was no confusion and no need for a planner. Everyone had worked with everyone before, and Caroline and Judy at Vecoma made sure we didn't miss a thing. From that special moment when we had our first look on the deck, to the last dance surrounded by our friends and family, we are so glad we were surrounded by the beauty, professionalism, and care provided by Vecoma. Hands down the best decision we made during the planning process.

mportant. The payment options that were set up were great, and the staff always got back to our emails in a timely manner. We were able to arrange the layout of tables to the way we wanted it, we were allowed to bring anything we wanted to the venue, so we brought uplights. The day of the wedding, the staff went above and beyond. Most people say you don't ever have time at your wedding to eat. The staff here made sure that we did. They brought us hors d'oeuvres while we were taking photos, and they made a plate for us before any of the guests could even start lining up for the buffet. Our guests are still raving about the food, the music, and the venue. We used the in house DJ, DJ Kirk, and he was fantastic! We also used their in house photographer, and her pictures from our day are amazing! We could not be happier with this venue and we are already planning our anniversary party to be hosted at this venue.

r wedding. We wanted the ceremony to be outside & reception inside; however, it was raining the day of our wedding & the staff did a fabulous job creating the most beautiful ceremony & reception both taking place inside. I was not upset at all about the weather once I saw how beautiful the inside was setup for the ceremony. After the ceremony concluded they flipped the room so quick, while everyone enjoyed cocktail hour on the deck, nobody even noticed. The staff was amazing to work with & made our wedding day more perfect than I could ever dream of. It was simply beautiful :-) We used in-house catering, photography, DJ, & their referred florist. Everything flowed so seamlessly that I had no worries about the logistics of everything coming together. Using their in-house services & referrals for other vendors allowed us enjoy the day & take in every moment. It was stress free & we had the time of our lives!!!

as perfect! The staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. From set up to clean up, they were on the spot making sure everything went smoothly. They train their new employees to the point that we didn't realize it was one persons first event! Everyone was fantastic! People always say that the couple never gets to eat at their own wedding, but the staff did everything in their power (short of force feeding us) to make sure we could eat! They brought appetizers out to us when we had pictures to take, they made a plate for us so we wouldn't have to stand in line. We were so surprised at how smoothly everything went and how on point the staff was. Everything was perfect! The venue was beautiful, the staff was helpful and amazing. We would recommend this venue 100%. From the first meeting with them, to the wedding day, they answered all questions we had through email quickly, and they never made us feel like we were bothering them. They were always helpful and friendly. The food was beyond amazing! Everyone has been saying how good the food was at the buffet. Most wedding food is dry and tasteless. NOT VECOMA, their food was just like you sat down and ordered it from a restaurant. It was delicious! It was so good, quite a few people went back for second helpings! We used the venues in-house DJ and photographer. The DJ was amazing. He helped us stay on time, get everyone dancing, and just made sure everyone had a great time. The photographer was amazing! She took the ideas we had, ran with them and made them work! We have already started planning our 10 year anniversary party, and it's going to be at Vecoma. We could not be any happier with how the day went. It was totally and completely perfect! We cannot say enough about how great this venue and their staff is!

elpful. The per person price on venue/catering was a bit high but they were flexible and allowed your choice of outside vendors for other services so one could have saved in other areas quite easily. We ended up choosing a historic venue with a bit more character for the reception area and unique ceremony options. We are still looking into the house DJ for our wedding but haven't confirmed. Thanks Vecoma!

se it again if I had to do it over!

y responsive leading up to the big day and made sure everything to the very last detail went the way we wanted. The venue was beautiful and the perfect place for a rustic wedding. Because all of the services were run by Vecoma, the wedding went remarkably smoothly. We started with their brunch buffet option, but they allowed us to replace some of their brunch items with more substantial lunch foods and we added several stations, including belgian waffles, grits, biscuits, omelettes, and bloody marys. The DJ was very professional throughout the entire reception and knew how to improvise to get people on the dance floor when things started dying down. The photography went great as well. They had two photographers taking pictures throughout the wedding which allowed us to get most of the bridal party pictures out of the way before the ceremony, and left only the family pictures for after. All of the pictures have come out beautifully. We definitely would recommend this venue for others, especially for those on a budget!

d was so good! We had so many compliments on it. The wedding was beautiful and I appreciate the help of Caroline and her team in planning it. I highly recommend Vecoma!

ed the stream running behind the ceremony location!). The reception was held in their pre-decorated lodge and they offered other services like photography, etc. As I was finishing my Masters degree while attempting to plan a wedding over long distance, having the venue be almost 'all-inclusive' with their services made the planning SO much easier. Almost more importantly to us, we received the most for the price. By far, out of every venue we looked at, Vecoma offered the most for the price. The staff was amazing and worked with me on anything and everything. The day of the wedding went seamlessly in regards to everything the venue was responsible for and the staff were helpful and cheerful- they really seemed to be overjoyed for me and my new husband and that was very touching. In my husband's words, "The staff, especially the reception staff, were calm and genuine in their customer service. They were dedicated to making sure our special day was flawless and to not add any added stress." I was also touched by the kindness the reception staff showed my husband- he had dislocated his knee the week before and was in pain and limited in his mobility- the staff went out of their way to make sure he had ice packs and everything he needed during the reception. I could go on and on about Vecoma and how our choice in venues really did make our wedding day more than amazing. Everyone warned me how stressful wedding planning would be, but with Vecoma? I wasn't stressed at all! Our friends and family have continuously told us how beautiful our wedding was and that's in large part to the Vecoma staff and venue.

ore than 20+ wedding venues in GA only a few had a rain backup and if they did they were CRAZY expensive and had very limited seating for guests approx 50 guests. We had 125 guests at our wedding and it was perfect! We had the ceremony outside by the river and all of the guests raved about how beautiful the ceremony space was. The pictures turned out gorgeous with all of the nature surrounding. The reception was held in doors and on the deck. The guests who sat outside on the deck loved the outdoor atmosphere. We still have guests and family members today telling us how lovely our wedding was. We couldn't have picked a better Venue. Thank you Caroline!

day. The DJ, Kirk, captured the mood we wanted and played songs everyone of our guests wanted to hear. The food was delicious- we had the BBQ. Caroline was so very patient and kind and does absolutley beautiful photos!!! I would recommend this place to everyone! I could not have asked for a better wedding venue!

was that I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING!! I could relax and enjoy every special moment. From the beautifully decorated room to the awesome food and the AWESOME music and DJ I couldn't of dreamed of better place to have her wedding. The grounds were perfectly groomed and the river as a background were perfect!! The wedding was an evening wedding and I worried that it would be too hot (June Wedding) but the ceremony was all in the shade which made it even more special!!! I would highly recommend Vecoma at Yellow River for your special "Fairytale Wedding"

orgeous and well kept. Caroline Tucker is both the manager abd onsite photographer and for an extremely reasonable price you can get both engagement and wedding photos done with her. Caroline and her team are extremely accommodating and timely in all situations.

e to work with, ,listened to everything , and went above and beyond Tthe tender loving care that went into making two friends ( who fell in love) feel like royalty ... Priceless .... will definitely reccomend Vecoma again and again!!!

ambience' of the porch once the sun went down. The staff was very accomodating and did their best to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. We would highly recommend Vecoma to anyone looking for a special location for a party/wedding.

write a review was the fact that I left my custom bridal hanger at Vecoma last May. I emailed them regarding another item I thought I lost and they actually mentioned to me that my hanger was there too. I kept meaning to pick it up but never found the time. Then I moved to FL and forgot about it until the other day. I emailed Vecoma asking if they still had it. I was expecting them to say no since my wedding was nearly 10 months ago! I wouldn't have blamed them if it had gotten lost in that timeframe. However, they still had it and are mailing it to me which I thought was awesome of them! I used Vecoma as my venue for my wedding in May of 2014. My husband and I were looking for a venue that was budget friendly, dog friendly and had an outdoor space. Immediately after visiting Vecoma for the first time my husband and I knew we wanted to use them for our venue. The outdoor space is gorgeous with the lush greenery, calming river and the fact that the venue is tucked away from any surrounding businesses or homes. We also loved the fact that if the weather was bad on the day of our wedding then Vecoma can accommodate ceremonies inside or enclose the deck and have them there. We were glad we wouldn't have to deal with a tent rental. Obviously some things are going to go wrong on your wedding day. But aside from those small things, the venue truly was everything I could have hoped for. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the whole wedding was. Clearly the venue will make up a good portion of whether or not guests think your wedding is beautiful or not. In truth I actually had several people tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. My photographer's assistant even said that exact statement! Which took me aback since photographers go to weddings all the time. Therefore, mine must have been truly special. Of course I already thought that :-) but it's nice to hear when your guests agree with you. Caroline was extremely helpful on my wedding day. I didn't have a wedding coordinator. Therefore, if Caroline hadn't been so helpful then there probably would have been things that didn't go as smoothly. Like I said earlier, Vecoma allows dogs which was really important to us. Our dogs are our fur babies so it was a must that they be incorporated. They don't allow dogs inside but I was completely fine with that. They do let you put them in a room downstairs though. We actually paid our boarders to drive the dogs to and from the venue though so we didn't take advantage of utilizing the room downstairs. I will give some comments about some things to be aware of though. Don't get discouraged if they don't answer the phone when you call. They have weddings and people visiting all the time so really your best bet is to email them. They are usually really responsive. Next, I was surprised by the music DJ Kirk was playing. I had sent him the entire playlist I had created and he agreed. So when songs I had not chosen were played then I was a little annoyed. But no one else seemed to noticed and it didnt effect how I rated Vecoma since he is technically his own entity. I am extremely happy that I used Vecoma for my wedding. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
