The venue was both comfortable and fancy but not at all overdone. The biggest part for me as the principal and for the children was that they have a Donut Wall! You heard that correctly, a Donut Wall! I would without hesitation come back to this venue - nice people and a great spot for both indoor and outdoor photos. Many memories were made at our event and the people and venue had a lot to do with this.

Reservations were simple to make online. We were greeted with a menu and an excellent wine and cocktail list. With very few other diners, we were treated to the best seat in the house with a view of flowering spring trees through neogothic windows. Another couple was enjoying a glass of wine on the porch, while another was exploring the interior of this fantastic Victorian mansion. Service and ambience were both amazing thoughout -- this is truly a unique dining experience. We had the langoustine cakes and the soup of the day, both great starts bursting with flavor and texture. We had the hangar steak and pork chop for entrees, paired with a well structured Zinfandel. The pork chop was particularly outstanding, owing both to the quality of the ingredient and expert preparation, paired with just-sweet enough parsnip puree, rainbow carrots, blistered grapes, and carmelized onion. The hangar steak was impeccably presented, cooked to temperature, and most important, a very delicious cut of well aged beef. For dessert we had a lemon-lavender mousse bombe, again as well presented as it was delicious. The tart lemon pop rocks on top were tge perfect touch and sheer nostalgic pleasure. We finished our evening with a self tour of the mansion, and carried home half of our amply portioned meals to enjoy as leftovers. Lafayette's best kept secret. Meals as memorable as the historic setting.

All Wined Down is connected to All Fired Up (two separate entrances but the same building with a door connecting the two inside). You can choose to visit the "All Fired Up" side of the business and only paint your ceramic piece or you can pick out your piece and sit on the "All Wined Down" side and enjoy wine (by the bottle or glass) and/or cheese platters while you paint your ceramic piece. We arrived on a Saturday as soon as All Wined Down opened, and spent 3 hours there (the time flies by). Unfortunately, they had sold out of the cheese plates the night before so we were unable to buy any food. There is a selection of wine (sadly no beer) that is decently priced. It would have been nice to see a partnership with local wineries and breweries (for example Wildcat and Thieme and Wagner Brewing Co). There is a large selection of ceramic items to choose from and every color you could think of for your creations. The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable and you don't feel rushed to complete your piece. Items are ready a week later and they will hold them for several months in case you aren't able to return that quickly to the area. It also would be nice to have the option of high top tables for those customers who are taller, so you don't have to hunch over the table for such a long time. Overall, a great experience and we will be returning with friends to create more pieces.

Your typical carnival rides, fair food and midway games await. Tents for vendors and food help shield you from the sun but plan on hydrating well and lather on the sunscreen for the day.

I recommend going to cheer on your neighbor's kids participating in the 4-H livestock showing activities.

We hired Heart's Arrow for day-of coordination and set-up and I honestly can't even imagine how the day would've gone without them. Audra was always professional and timely with her responses. It was obvious that she knew what she was doing, which is important, because I definitely didn't know what I was doing. She created the timeline, shared with all the vendors, got edits from them, and brought up a lot of questions that I hadn't even though of. Even if the day goes on perfectly (read: no rain, no drama) their help would've been invaluable. The day of you don't want to be setting up tables, putting decorations, making everything look perfect. I don't think I even understood how busy I would be. Audra just made everything go seamlessly. Even having someone from her team stepping up to mcee. Taking all decorations down afterward. For me, it happened to rain on my wedding date. And she reimagined the entire wedding inside of the tent. It was so beautiful that I can't even imagine it outside now. One last point - not that their prices are high, but at first I balked at having to pay for someone to coordinate thinking "why can't I just coordinate it myself? or a friend?" Honestly, your plate will be 100% full, and your friends won't know what to do in case of emergencies/changes of plan. I'm sure her full service for wedding planning would be amazing. Sadly that wasn't in our budget, but I fully trust her work after seeing how she saved my wedding
