We had the pleasure of working with Lesley and her staff for our Tiny Coordinated wedding this…read moreSeptember. In May, I wanted to book our wedding in a timely manner due to needing to request time off from my work. Lesley was not available to show us the venue due to her being out of the country at the time but she was very accommodating and had Melissa come and show us the venue. We fell in love with Melissa right away. She explained all the different options and packages we could pick from. We gladly picked her Tiny Coordinated wedding option. Lesley sent us a reminder to apply for our marriage License 60 days before the wedding which was really helpful. She also agreed to officiate our wedding for us so she sent us a questionnaire to tailor the ceremony to our style. Then, once closer to the wedding she sent us a draft of everything she was going to say and gave us the option to adjust it as needed. It made our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. When we arrived to the venue, she had everything already beautiful, set up, and ready to go. She helped with getting any extra decor I had brought unloaded from the car. The dressing room was adorable with multiple mirrors to get ready at. We only used it to change into our dresses but we were very impressed with it and wished we would have booked more time to do our hair and makeup in there. My bouquet and the boutonnière made by Melissa was stunning. The flowers on the top of our arch were beautiful too. The ceremony was beautiful and Lesley did an amazing job keeping it short, funny, and tailored to how we wanted it. It was exactly how I had envisioned. She then helped us with getting our marriage license signed and filed it after the wedding for us which was a huge relief. She helped with getting all of the catering set up and our cake cutting organized. While my only complaint was that we ran out of tortillas, Lesley was able to get some more tortillas for us. Looking back on all of it, I was extremely happy with the experience we had at Lavender Owl Farm. It sounds like they are making even more improvements to make the venue more beautiful then it already is. The beauty of the farm-like style and flowery gardens speaks for itself and doesn't require much more decor. I would highly recommend to others looking to have a beautiful small intimate wedding.

They used cheap greenery for the tables. They lost the boutonnieres for the men.

Not only was she on time but we were able to bust out our group photos before the ceremony allowing us time to even catch a breather in-between events. During the group photos she was amazing at getting everyone to smile and understood that during this warm summer day most of us didn't want to stand in the sun too long. During the ceremony and reception, she was very professional and friendly with all guest, but the most amazing part of all was the quick turnover from the time we had our big day to the sneak peek into our wedding photos. We absolutely adore every single photo she has shown us thus far, perfectly capturing every important moment of our big day in which we know we will cherish for a lifetime. Elizabeth is affordable, smart, friendly and extremely passionate about making you feel beautiful and amazing. You will not regret picking her. p.s. She even helped me make a schedule for the big day just to make your life that much easier. http://www.westernrosestudios.com/blog/alex-and-matt-truelyakegel?fbclid=IwAR2ygZwokBMcDJsUNWekrmnVpmg1d9EtCmNNfuUt2ieOoITAsRn1ysk9_80

We had a great time and shared a throwing lane with new friends we met and it was great and everyone was nice, front desk staff were great and the host too.

I have a brain injury and this was actually a good thing to do for hand eye coordination and repetitions which are good for me. The whole experience was great and $60 for 90 minutes was not bad and worth it to us, I did see they have a membership if you live locally and want to go often. We would definitely go again and I want my husband to build us one for at home!
