What first drew you to the VBCC?

The food! I had been to several banquets here before and every time I loved what I ate.

What made you decide to book?

It ultimately came down to that the VBCC had everything I wanted in a venue. We could get ready here, have the ceremony and reception here and most importantly after researching the cost factor at different spaces it really was the best value for our dollar.

What was your favorite part of planning your wedding?  

It was kind of cool that people would get so excited for us!

What was the most challenging part of planning your wedding? 

Getting the RSVPs back!

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

Dancing with Renée and then with my mom

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

There was a moment when everyone was getting served their salads that I realized that I was surrounded by pretty much all of my favorite people – they were in the same place at the same time. And, they were happy! That was just awesome!

What was your favorite thing you ate at your wedding reception? 

I really enjoyed the barbecue quesadillas. The walnut sage sauce on the chicken was amazing!

What is your favorite photo from your wedding day?

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

I took Renée to my office and I got to show her off as my wife!

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

We were engaged for two years; it is nice that all that planning is done and now we can focus on other things not just the wedding! And, being able to really call him husband! :)

Anything else you want to share?

Brides - If you wear a head piece, make sure it is stretchy; I had a horrible headache from the headband; it eventually went away, but there were a few rough hours before the aspirin kicked in and I was able to get distracted enough to forget about it!

Be flexible! Plan for things to not go 100% according to plan. Don’t forget to eat and breathe.
