Wonderful Experience!

You can’t go wrong with TGMH! The staff are fantastic and will go above to beyond to make sure your wedding day perfect. My sister (also one of my bridesmaids) passed away just before the wedding. Emotions were running high prior to that but it all came to head before the ceremony and I fell completely apart. Another one of my bridesmaid’s (another one of my sisters) dresses had a major zipper malfunction and the whole dress split open. They had someone to come out and literally sew my sister into her dress. No matter what came up, the staff had a quick fix for it. I had to redo hair and makeup and the help rearrange the entire photography schedule (bridal party, first looks with parents and groom, gifts, etc) and still got the ceremony started within 15 minutes of the original start time. I could not have asked for a better team and they really did save our wedding. The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious, their venders are all super easy to work with and they offer a very wide variety of complimentary decor items too!

Since I was a little girl, watching my mother's passion for the industry and for every couple who walked through our doors, I dreamed of doing this every day. I have always been highly creative and love getting to help with our clients' wedding planning process. I am so honored to have a job in our family business that allows me to work with couples to make their wedding day dreams come true.
