Having been a preferred caterer at Lakewold for more than thirty years, and having worked under the supervision of many, many Venue Directors, I am thrilled to see all the additions that Venue Director, Ms. Jordan Moll has brought to the venue. The warmth of the soft seating, the greenery, the artwork, the furniture pieces as well as the abundant smiles and expertise of Ms. Moll and Ms. Kathryn Castleberry have added the sorely needed welcoming elements to the Wagner House, which, in recent history, have been missing. There is a palpable difference to the venue that is hard not to notice! It feels "alive"! I am quite sure that Corydon and Eulalie Wagner's souls, as well as Judy and Corydon Jr.'s, are also thrilled that Corydon Jr.'s childhood home and Eulalie's gorgeous gardens, have newfound personality and appreciation from all the many guests that grace the venues halls and enjoy the spectacular grounds. I commend, enthusiastically, your choice of Ms. Jordan Moll, as the Venue Director and steward of Lakewold Gardens. She and Ms. Castleberry's respect for Lakewold Gardens is abundantly obvious. As a caterer I am honored every time one of my clients selects the Gardens for their very special celebration knowing that Ms. Moll's and Ms.Castleberry's influences are reflected in memories that will last a lifetime.

My husband John and I were married at Wine and Roses Country Estate in October, 2012. Selecting…read moreWine and Roses as our venue was one of the first - and certainly best - decisions we made throughout the planning process. The entire property, and especially the barn, was flawless on the day of our wedding and there were so many gorgeous photo opportunities it was difficult to take advantage of them all. The farmhouse, cellar and tree house were perfect hangouts for us and our wedding party during the day, and many of my guests enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds while taking a break from dancing. Whereas other venues had hidden fees and added costs, Wine and Roses provided all of the tables, chairs, facilities and transitions we needed, even going out of their way to request that draperies hung for another event the weekend before remain up for us to use free of charge. Johanna, the venue owner, was professional, flexible and easy to work with both leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Rather than see us as just another business arrangement at the tail end of her busiest season, Johanna demonstrated true commitment to making our day special, seamless and fun. Johanna was also able to provide some great recommendations and reviews as we selected our other vendors, which helped us put together a great team of experienced professionals for the day. Melissa, the venue coordinator, was responsive to all of our questions leading up to the big day, even going so far as to help us find ways to trim the budget without sacrificing the important details and special touches. For larger events, I would definitely recommend using Melissa's Jubilee Weddings services for set up and take down. For a very small charge, all set up, preparation and take-down was taken care of on the day of the wedding, giving my family and friends more time to simply enjoy the day. While I was at first concerned to learn that Melissa could not be on-site for our wedding day, she was careful to communicate all details to the day-of coordinator, Leslie, who did a fantastic job at implementing our vision and keeping the day on-schedule. Even our complicated centerpieces were set up perfectly and packed up carefully at the end of the night. While I'm confident that our wedding day would have been memorable regardless of the venue, the staff at Wine and Roses truly made the day's logistics run smoothly, always with our vision and our guests' comfort in mind, which allowed us to relax, focus on the moment and enjoy the day!

Granted that the pandemic was not in anyone's control, but to refuse a bride a refund because you can't uphold your end of what her wedding was supposed to look like is a testament to what your business is like. Shame on you!!

I held my wedding here, and it was honestly perfect. The venue was easy to work with leading up to…read morethe event, and they were quick to answer questions, respond to emails and they were cool with us dropping in several times to scope the place out and plan out our setup. They were totally fine with me changing the dates a couple times, and they did everything we wanted as far as setting up tables and chairs the way we asked. Aside from the staff, the venue is absolutely incredible. The view is a million dollar view that you would never expect from a venue as affordable as this one. I would have paid double the price just for the view, honestly. I heard so many guests go on and on about how beautiful it was and it just made me so happy! The inside of the building is very unique as well, and it was a great space for the size we had and the setup we had planned. They have two conference rooms that can be used as get ready rooms, a full kitchen and plenty of parking. There's also space in the courtyard outside for a bar, tables and we set up lawn games as well. I can't say enough good things about this venue, and I'm so, so glad I chose to have my wedding here!

She gave us checklists of things we needed to do. Then we met or spoke on the phone at the end of each month to find out the status of our "to do's". We seriously had no stress throughout the planning process. We sent her Pinterest pictures of what we envisioned and she made it happen. She did so much behind the scenes to make our dreams a reality. For one of our meetings, we met at a coffee shop and she had a whole mock up of our tables set up! Including the linens, plates, flowers, etc! Our wedding couldn't have gone any better. There was no stress leading up to the wedding and no stress the day of. It was magical. Throughout the whole process, Kristen was so sweet and thoughtful, making sure everything was just the way we wanted. She really treated us like we were friends. She was always available via email, text, and phone for when we had questions. All of our guests said this was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Our vendors were impressed with how smooth everything went. Many of them told us that our wedding was the most fun and stress free wedding they had ever been to. Really, Kristen will make your wedding dreams come true. This review still can't even do enough justice for how AMAZING she is!

I was so happy we had her because like all weddings, we had some issues come up with the venue and she was all over it, the day of.. if there were any issues I had no idea about them. She kept us on budget, was always available to chat, kept us on schedule, gave us to-do's every month, and then made sure to bother me when I didn't get them done. =) I was a bride that planning a wedding was completely overwhelming for me, Kristen made the process so smooth and easy. She walked us through every step and came along to any meeting I requested she be at. She decorated our head table, which turned out gorgeous! As well as our guestbook table, seating card table, and gift table. If your looking for someone to get along with and just enjoy the process she is your gal!

Matt officiated the ceremony, and he was the absolute highlight of the experience. Matt is a master of his craft with an incredible ability to connect with people on a profound level. He didn't just focus on the couple; he beautifully wrapped every guest into the ceremony itself. It was easily the most moving service I have ever witnessed. The couple was entirely centered, yet every person in attendance felt a shared, personal connection to their love story. For anyone looking to add a deep, intimate, and bespoke element to their wedding day, Matt is unmatched. His thorough, thoughtful approach ensures your dream wedding becomes a reality.

When we became engaged, we realized neither my husband or I wanted to deal with a big wedding- we just wanted a fun, weird low key day that was easy enough that we could really focus on our love, rather than 150 guests. I googled Shotgun Ceremonies, having walked by it dozens of times during First Thursday and shot them an email. They replied immediately and before I knew it we were booked for the next week. We had come up with a somewhat elaborate lie to get our immediate family down there without letting them know why. Shotgun was completely accommodating and helped us pull off the best surprise ever. You can tell these folks love their job, and who wouldn't? They celebrate love every day. Our special day is one I will never forget. I truly can't recommend them enough.
