From the very first meeting with Cher and the Merry Me team, I knew my daughter Ashley's wedding…read morewas in the best possible hands. Their attention to detail, organization, and dedication to making Ashley and Owen's day perfect was beyond anything we could have imagined. Every step of the way, they offered advice, creative ideas, and a calm, collected presence that made us feel completely at ease. We worked with Cher Goggins and Corinne Latham of the many team members of Merry Me. Cher is a Creative Mastermind - you ask for something fun and unique, classy and simple, or a New Year's Eve wedding NO ONE will forget and let me tell you - that is exactly what she will give you. Corinne is the Calm. She is so organized, detail oriented and such a delight to work with that we all knew that there was nothing that would not get done. Working with Merry Me you don't just get a coordinated wedding you get a masterpiece. Ashley's ideas for her and Owen's wedding were brought to life. The floral arrangements were absolutely breathtaking - vibrant, fresh, and perfectly complimented the venue. The decor, was elegant and stylish, transforming the space into a magical atmosphere that left everyone in awe. I have received countless compliments from guests on how beautiful everything looked. It truly was an EPIC wedding and it was because of Merry Me. Days before the wedding, friends would ask if I needed any help with anything and my response was "No, Merry Me has it all covered". I can truly say that as a Mother of the Bride, I was not stressed at all. I knew that Corinne had everything under control. On the day of the wedding, it was a delight to spend time with the bridesmaids, Mother of the Groom and my daughter getting ready for one of the best days of my life. Corinne managed everything flawlessly - every timeline was followed to a tee, all the vendors were coordinated seamlessly, and not a single thing was out of place. We all truly felt like we could just enjoy the day. I can truly say that Ashley and Owen's Wedding was one of the best days of my life. Spending time with family and friends, watching your girl get married to the love of her life and feeling completely at ease, completely happy - well it doesn't get much better than that. Thank you Merry Me. Thank you Cher Goggins. Thank you Corinne Latham. Thank you for making my daughter's day a dream come true.

Cher and her team did such a great job with our wedding. I loved our flowers and she was able to…read moreincorporate some buttons from my deceased grandmother's wedding suit into my bouquet and my mom's corsage. She also beautifully incorporated the paper flowers I had purchased from etsy seamlessly into my bouquet. Her team also managed to get the flowers added to our chuppah (Jewish wedding arch) after it was built (Merry Me and Aays had less than 30 minutes to get the arch built and decorated). I loved our centerpieces. I wanted books and low flowers and lots of candles and that was exactly what we got. Everything arrived on time and was set up to look great. We were impressed with the execution, timing, and pricing (we thought MerryMe would be out of the budget and were pleasantly surprised). They also had another small event to tend to that day... the tailgate for the Garth Brooks concert and it never felt like we given anything but their full attention and effort. I can't recommend Cher and her team enough!

Angie was a pleasure to work with. Though my needs were minimal, I could tell that she took pride…read morein making sure I had what I needed. And having pride in what you do makes for great service!

I just got married in October and I am BEYOND grateful that Angie and her team were a part of it…read more When I started planning my wedding I knew I NEEDED someone to help me with all the details, especially the day of. The more I talk to people, the more this name kept being brought up. Angie, you need Angie, Angie Anderson with Belle behind the Ball is who you need on your big day. Do not trust anyone but Angie. Thank you to everyone who recommended her because I don't know what I would have done without her. Angie has this cool, don't worry I will take care of it attitude and that is exactly what you need during this stressful process. She works with so many different vendors, knows everyone and can get you exactly what you want. We had to change our venue MONTHS before the big day. With Angie, it wasn't a problem. She had a backup list ready to go in case something like this happened. We had to set up our own tables. With Angie, it wasn't a problem. Her team brought my dreams to life. Everything was beyond perfect. My family is divorced and I knew there could be drama when the two families came together. I told Angie in advance and she was there, putting out fires, having my back, making sure MY DAY was exactly that, stress free and perfect. I also can't say enough about her assistants. They treated me like a princess. They were holding my flowers, train, anything I needed while making sure I was hydrated, laughing, every hair was in place, make up was flawless, the list goes on. Long story short, if you want a stress free wedding, someone constantly in your corner, someone who really cares about your and bringing your dreams to life, Angie Anderson is your gal. She is worth every penny and I adore her so much! THANKS ANGIE!!!

Horrible experience, the venue was not mowed, nor racked before my son and daughter in laws…read morereception set up, The venue stated a year ago when we met with them for the first time that they would have everything needed to help with the reception and when it came down to it they not only lied about that they also got mad because we chose to use our own vendors instead of what they offered in the contract it states they have electrical outlets as well as generators on the property as well as extra tents if needed available and when it came time for our vendors to arrive we found they had no electricity on the property at all then they got an attitude about needing electricity they said it was our responsibility to provide the electricity and everything for our reception that they are just a platform for the reception, they then began threatening my daughter in law and son to start charging them an extra 100.00 on the hour if we did not get off the property with everything taken down at 10pm which is when our reception was supposed to end, she then began telling me as I refused to let my children have their night ruined that we was supposed to shut our reception down at 7pm and begin cleaning up the venue and being gone at 10pm all she wanted to say was look at your contract which we have and the fact is she put the dates on the contract but no times and she signed it, as well as the contract we have says that the bar and DJ has to shut down at 10:30pm, the driveway to the venue is also very narrow and they have a large camper sitting at the top of the entrance way as well as 2 vehicles making it very hard to pull in and out of the venue. These people sent us several very nasty text messages and were very untruthful they then said they would be sending us an itemized bill for what they helped with again stating this is in the contract which again is not.

Venue is really pretty I would give it a 5 but I took off point for the brides room functionality…read more Brides take into consideration, The brides room that they offer is really pretty, spacious for bridesmaids to be together but not really functional unless your hair dresser and makeup artists is over 6 feet tall! Bathroom is the only place to get dressed with privacy (size of a small powder room) If you have a ball gown dress, bathroom will not work! Your option of getting dressed is to change in the open space however there are windows facing the venue building and parking lot with nothing on them. Be careful when changing or BRING dividers or something to block outsiders looking in! You only have the Brides room until 9pm and if you are doing a dress change make sure its well before 9pm or make sure you have people stand and block windows as the staff coming in to clean room 8:50 was a female and a male PEPPING TOM! I caught him watching my bride changing her dress. He still continued to look even after the female told him to turn around! NOT ACCEPTABLE! Allure maybe make sure before sending in a male to clean make sure the room is empty!

I waited to make this review until the high of my day passed... I'll start with the good: our…read morewedding was gorgeous and went flawlessly, and I could tell the day of coordinators were truly trying their best to make our overall experience phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about Michelle and the other coordinators who helped everything go perfectly. The reason for less than 5 stars? We originally booked with their sister venue before it burnt down. When it burnt down we were offered either our money back or to move to this venue and change our Saturday wedding to a Friday wedding. Not ideal, but we are small town people ourselves so we wanted to continue to support a small business and stay with them in hopes it would help them rebuild. I realize this is our fault, we should've left when we had the chance. As our 2020 summer date approached, the pandemic was clearly pushing any possibility of our day happening out of reach. The owner waited, waited, AND waited as long as possible to allow us to push out our June wedding. AND THEN he wouldn't give us the option of a summer date in 2021, we had to BEG to get a spring date, and he barely let us choose early April. After sticking with them through their lows, we just expected more. Be careful with your deposit here.
