Dreamy Spring Wedding

My husband and I got married at The Hops Company 5.20.23 and couldn’t have been happier. If you are worried about it raining on your wedding day, don’t be! Alexia and her team worked hard to make last minute changes to accommodate all of our guests during the rainiest day in spring. I was worried about our ceremony being under the tent but it was unbelievably beautiful.

I rented the bridal suite for the day for getting ready and it was more than worth it. It was spacious and the lighting was perfect for cute getting ready pictures.

We couldn’t have been happier with The Hops Company. All of our guests had so much fun and we are still getting compliments on the beautiful atmosphere and amazing drinks. It was worth every penny. We had the best day!
