What first drew you to the VBCC? 

The building is so versitile and open. The location is great for out-of-town guests  because it is right by the beach and it is one of the main buildings in the Hampton Roads area so it is easy to find. The ballroom was my dream room becuase with out any decoration it is gorgeous. This creates a great blank canvas to build what ever wedding you can think of.

What made you decide to book?

Cassie and Darcy made me so confident and excited to have my wedding there. I was completely confident that they would do whatever they could to make me happy and make my day happen. I trusted them so much and I didn't want to go any where else after our first meeting.

What was your favorite part of planning your wedding?

THE FOOD TASTING!! Cassie was awesome about explaing all of the food options and helping me make decisions about my package. When it came to the day of the tasting, I felt like a celebrity. It was sooo fun and stress free. I felt like it was one of the most painless parts of the process with the help of Cassie and Distinctive Gourment.

What was the most challenging part of planning your wedding ?

Keeping my sanity. There is no one thing I remember agonizing over, but everything together was tough. I had lists and notes every where in my house, trying to keep everything straight. Communicating with every one was a challenge as well, all I can say is thank goodness for e-mail and Facebook.

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

When I walked down the aisle to my groom. The look on his face when he saw me for the first time in my dress was so sweet. The thing I will always remember is when I walked to him and grabbed his hand, he looked me right in the eyes, his eyes a little watery, and said "You look beautiful"

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

EVERYTHING!! I love food and I had been waiting to pig out for months. The chicken dinner we picked was amazing and I love love loved the hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour.

What is your favorite photo from your wedding day?

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

Having my best friend with me all the time :) and knowing that he always wants to be with me.

Thank you so much for picking us David and Mackenzie! The VBCC was proud to host your special day! What a beautiful night!

Neighbor Spotlight: The Best Body Co. Salon & Spa

Located just a block from the VBCC, The Best Body Co. Salon & Spa offers brides any services needed to look and feel their best on the big day!

We recently had a chat with Best Body Co. Salon & Spa's Jenny and here is what she had to share:

What makes your salon unique?  The Best Body Co. is an AVEDA Concept Salon and Spa.  We believe in and support the philosophy of Aveda, and carry the full line of Aveda products.

What services do you provide?  We provide hair, nails, and make-up services at our salon. We also do massages, facials, waxing, and other body treatments in our spa using all of the Aveda products. 

Bridal?  For brides and their bridal parties, we have 4 salon chairs and all of our stylists have the talent to create exquisite hair styles.  We also have an on site make-up artist with experience in bridal make-up. 

How many people can we accommodate at one time?  We can accommodate up to 6-10 people.  However, we have had bridal parties who booked the entire salon to have nails, make-up, hair, and other spa services done.  They are allowed to bring their own refreshments and set up in our salon.

Favorite bride or salon memory?  We have many good memories with our bridal and regular guests who come to our salon and spa.  A lot of our guests refers to us as their “happy place” and that is what we strive for.  Back in May of 2012 we did have a bridal party of 26 guests who came in all at one time.  We transformed the salon to their beauty central and provided chair massages, hair up-do’s, make-up and nails to all the girls.  It was a beautiful experience and our bride really enjoyed everything.

Any other information you’d like to include?  As said before, we provide an exquisite amount of services to all of our guest.  We take pride in making sure that everyone feels comfortable while receiving a service from.  There are some reviews that are posted on our Facebook, Yelp, and Website if you would like to read some of them.
