What first drew you to the VBCC?

The people and the spacious atmosphere that provided a comfortable place to celebrate with our friends and family

What made you decide to book?

The Room and the details they had to offer. The employees are all so sweet and helpful, How could I not?

What was your favorite part of planning your wedding?

My favorite part was actually having my now husband wanting to be apart of everything. He wanted to go to all the meetings with the vendors. He never just said “you do it all and I’ll love it” No, he actually made the time to show up to things with me and place his input. It was a wonderful bonding experience for us. :)

What was the most challenging part of planning your wedding?

The most challenging I would have to say would be “the LIST”. It was so hard to pick who to invite. We at one time had 400 people listed. I know, crazy! It was just so hard to pick between all of our family members, friends, acquaintances, etc.

What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Bride)?

The first dance!!! Chris actually picked out the song! I was shocked by his choosing because he hates country, so when he picked it I was so excited and shocked at the same time. The song truly describes us. It was called “when you have a good thing” by Lady Antebellum.

What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Groom)?

When I first saw her walk over the bridge to me and being able to see her in her dress. “She looked beautiful”

What was your favorite thing you ate at your wedding reception? Definitely the Fajita station!!

What is your favorite photo from your wedding day?

What is your favorite part of being married (Bride)?

It feels good to say “Yes!! I am Married!” and to be able to say I have a husband and having someone to care for other than myself. Just walking hand and hand together doing every day things as husband and wife is my all time favorite.

What is your favorite part of being married (Groom)?

Just being more connected to the most beautiful woman in the world has taken the cake for me. It was the most great feeling to tie the knot and to know that this is the one person I will love and will love me unconditionally forever.
