Sara & Drew- Married
Sara and Drew had the kind of wedding that was simply real, raw and beautiful. Rows of weathered and reconditioned white chairs invited guests to their seats. Bright yellow bundles of daffodils warmed the room to where you couldn't help but smile in anticipation. From the old worn character of their chosen setting to the heartfelt stories and toasts. There was so much personal character built in to their day that even if you'd arrived as merely an acquaintance you couldn't help but leave the evening as the head of the Sara & Drew fan club. Their wedding - every single moment - was perfection. Even the blue skies that rolled in to brighten the afternoon seemed hand picked by a higher power to fit the standards of this day.
Sara and Drew I am so thankful that Angela and Erik introduced me to you. I feel lucky to have been a party of your perfect day. But even more so, I think the world is lucky to have a pair like you in it. Your love is enviable. Congratulations again.. lots of love to you always!

to put it on before the wedding ceremony and remembered during pictures, we
looked everywhere! It was eventually found a half hour before our evening

Any great vendor experiences to share?
Andrea did an amazing job on the bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages, and with such little
effort! We knew we didn’t want real flowers since the weather can be
unpredictable in March, and they turned out just beautiful! She really has the talent and creative ideas
that made it all come together nicely!
The daffodils we had at the tables and around the barn we bought from
Trader Joe’s in Madison. They fit in so
nice with the décor!
Upstairs Downstairs Catering is
phenomenal, the food was amazing and they were so easy to work with. They are all about making it your day-Megan
is simply the best!
Craig’s Cake Shop has such delicious
cake! We would highly recommend the signature whipped frosting with white
chocolate shavings!
Jim with Sound Solutions did a wonderful
job with the music! We had people dancing the moment the music started, up
until the end of the evening. People
were actually disappointed when we had to call it a night! He also played music
for our cocktail hour and had a personalized monogram shining on the walls.
The barn is an amazingly beautiful place, the minute we saw it we fell in love with the idea of our wedding taking place there! Renee and Gary are the nicest, most down to earth people you will ever meet, and they really care about you and your wedding day. The most important day of our lives would not have been possible without them!
