When I missed planning flowers for the cake, David not only graciously noticed, but offered to get the extra flowers for accents I suggested we could use to which I was very grateful. With the bridal party getting their hair and make-up done in the bridal suite Wedding Day, time there was personal and sweet.Īrrival for our guests was a stunning visual on Wedding Day driving up the wonderful tree-lined drive to our daughter’s late afternoon outdoor ceremony held on the tumbled brick patio and cedar gazebo of Boulder Ridge Lodge surrounded by a beautiful mountain landscape. Breakfast together with family and friends between the Eagle & The Owl and Ike’s Chophouse was delicious and lovely. After rehearsal dinner the night before our daughter’s ceremony, many guests drifted to Highland’s fine Eagle & The Owl restaurant to keep visiting. When we had initial concerns about our choices at Tasting, we really enjoyed what we finally had along with the attention needed for some food allergies. We very much appreciated David’s timely response to calls and emails from four of us with our daughter, as well as her fiancé, living 1,600 miles away. David Auxt as our point of contact was exemplary. S our first impression of Liberty Mountain Resort was kind, welcoming and thorough. Total: 10/10!! Even with the little hiccups, I had the best day ever :) Read More We enjoyed them and so did our guests! Even the kids told me how good everything was. We were so impressed with the service! For our passed hors d’oeuvres, we offered raspberry phyllo, beef piroshki, and caprese skewers. She noticed that his face lit up when he tried it. Both were wonderful! Next thing we know, Kathy comes over and asks Zach if he would rather have the beef. We tried each other’s meals as we usually do. My husband and I tried the chicken during our tasting and loved it! During our wedding, I ordered the beef and my husband ordered the pasta. Don’t rely on or expect people to do this.įood and services: We offered beef tenderloin, chicken Chesapeake, and pasta primavera. Write everything down yourself and make sure you give everyone the correct information. Long story short: it’s hard working with a lot of people. Thank goodness for my maid of honor who stepped in and told her no at the last second. It was what usually happens, but it’s not what we discussed. How the guys were walking down the aisle and in what order. Right before the ceremony, Kathy was telling our photographer something totally different than what we just practiced the day before.

*Recommendation! Get clarification of what your day of coordinator is going to. I may have seen her a time or two but she wasn’t there to help do anything.

We definitely should’ve practiced more! The day of my wedding, Kathy wasn’t around while we were setting everything up. During the rehearsal, we only walked down the “aisle” 2 times. We had to spend some extra time before the rehearsal going over all those details. There was a lot of miscommunication between the staff of what we’d discussed with someone at a different time and the Information never got to Kathy for execution. Aside from that, we hadn’t talked until I saw her at my venue for my rehearsal the day before my wedding. I had met Kathy in person once when we came for our food tasting. Then, we were working with Kathy, our day of coordinator. Austin was so great to work with! We mostly emailed, but you could tell even through email that he was happy to be there helping you with your big bday. We worked with Austin from June until a few days before our wedding. When the wedding services coordinator, Austin, returned back to LMR, we began working with him. She was very helpful! I am the person to ask a lot of questions and she answered all of them so well and in a timely manner. Then we worked with Terry for about a year. 2 at the beginning left for family/ personal reasons. During this whole planning time, I worked with about 5 different coordinators. Staff/ planning: I started planning my wedding before covid and got married recently.

You don’t want to end up with a surprise porta potty. The bar at Eagle and The Owl (on site restaurant and bar) stayed open a bit later too which my family really enjoyed! Might be odd to add, but the bathrooms were nice too! *Recommendation! ALWAYS ask to see the bathrooms when looking at a venue. Make use of the fire pit! We had about 20-30 guests after the reception change into their jammies and meet us at the fire pit for s’mores.
