VICTORIAN CROWS NEST: AN UNBELIEVABLE WEDDING EXPERIENCE \r
\r
First, I just want to thank Shirley and Coffield for making my wedding all that I wished (or dreamed) it could be. I initially fell in love with the Victorian Crow’s Nest when my now husband and I toured the location in the wintery January weather. Despite having ice on the ground, the venue still won us over in terms of beauty and elegance. Upon meeting Shirley, we instantly knew that this was the place God was calling us to hold the ceremony and to celebrate the beginning of our marriage. From the breath-taking outdoor gardens to the warm, welcoming indoor ballroom, the atmosphere exceeded all expectations. It is truly something special. \r
\r
While there are many aspects to planning a wedding, I would just like to point out a few areas that really impressed me during the process:\r
\r
• Being a very organized person myself, I was thrilled at how detail-oriented Shirley was throughout the entire process. She made sure to leave no stone unturned, and she was always available to meet multiple times in person months before the wedding or to chat via email whenever I had questions or concerns. \r
\r
• Another thing that helped reduce my stress was the fact that Shirley is so connected in the wedding industry and was able to make fantastic recommendations for flowers, photographers, DJs, and cake bakeries. She also has a chef that works for the VCN who can make any dish you desire (and believe me the food was all DELICIOUS). \r
\r
• More importantly, Shirley made sure that her thoughts and ideas coincided with my thoughts and ideas, and I greatly appreciated her true and honest opinion as to what she thought would work/look best. She always had great suggestions that showcased her passion and experience in the wedding industry. That being said, Shirley ALWAYS emphasized how it was the bride’s final decision for everything and anything, no matter what. Shirley made it clear that her ultimate goal was to make my family and me happy by putting together a stunningly classy and elegant dream wedding. Just to give one example of this, the day before my wedding, I noticed that the bows on the reception chairs were tied in a way that we had not discussed. I told Shirley not to worry about changing it due to the amount of effort it would take to remove them all from the chairs, re-iron them, and then put them all back on correctly. However, upon arrival to the Victorian Crow’s Nest on my wedding day, all of the bows had been corrected. Needless to say, throughout my experience it has been evident how much pride Shirley has in her work and it showed in her (and the staff members’) devotion to making my day exactly the way I wanted it. \r
\r
I also feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Shirley and her staff. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the wedding planning process, and it was a joy to invest in their lives and them in mine. It was truly a remarkable to be able to work alongside others with the focus always being centered on Christian values, and making sure that this momentous occasion would be God honoring and reflect His goodness and love.
