Awarded Best of Zola
One of my best decisions when it comes to my wedding was hiring Jessica. As a bit of a control freak, I was very particular about my wedding planner and Jessica always made me feel at ease. Not only did she always say the right things but she followed it up with actions. I knew I was in safe hands with her and could relinquish control and enjoy my day which is exactly what happened. I highly recommend Jessica to any Bride or Groom!

Our wedding was perfect and our amazing photographers were a huge reason why! The photos are fantastic and they emailed them to us three days after our ceremony - we were still on our honeymoon! They have an incredible style and an amazing work ethic but most importantly, they were so fun to work with and be around.

We couldn’t have asked for a more talented and professional photographer for our wedding than Jessica! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands. She has an incredible eye for detail and a unique ability to capture not just moments but emotions. Our wedding took place in the mountains, and her photos perfectly captured the stunning scenery in a way that felt so personal. The way she played with natural light and incorporated the landscape into our photos was nothing short of amazing. What truly sets her apart is her ability to bring out the personalities of everyone in front of her lens. My husband and I felt completely at ease, and the photos reflect who we are as a couple so beautifully. From candid shots to posed portraits, every image tells a story that feels authentic to us. Her warm and calming presence on our wedding day was exactly what we needed. She was organized, attentive, and blended seamlessly into the day, capturing everything. We are absolutely in love with the photos and will cherish them forever.

RLM Affairs Wedding Venue was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. The quality of their work and the overall value was exceptional - the venue was intimate, beautiful, and detailed, with a truly romantic garden setting. Resia took care of everything, including the set up of our personal decor items and take down afterwards. RLM even let us store our wedding items at the venue before the big day and schedule a pick-up for afterwards, which was so convenient. The day itself was completely stress-free, and we had so much fun celebrating with our 88 guests - the space was just the right size. While there was a bit of a "trust the process" leading up to the wedding where we didn't hear too much, the RLM team was always available to answer our questions, which was especially helpful since this was our first time planning a wedding. We are happy with how our wedding day turned out thanks to the incredible team at RLM Affairs!

When my husband and I started looking for our wedding venue, we had pretty high expectations. We are full-time wedding photographers and most of the venues we have been to are pretty cookie cutter and not at all what we wanted for our own wedding. You’ve got your barns, ballrooms, and industrial chic venues and then you’ve got something completely different like New Holland. New Holland has character, charm, and a one-off nature that was exactly what we were looking for. We knew that when we decided to have our wedding after being married already for ten years, it had to be at New Holland. Sophie and Reagan made the experience booking and hosting our wedding effortless. Our entire wedding celebration was unconventional, and because of that, it required a whole lot of coordination with activities and food for our guests that typical weddings don’t necessitate. Sophie and Reagan handled everything the day of the wedding perfectly. It was like one big choreographed dance. I know that without them, our wedding would have been a huge, disorganized embarrassment, and we are so grateful they helped make our day run smoothly so that we could enjoy it. If you’re the kind of bride who is looking for something bespoke and can’t find it at any of the venues you’ve visited so far, I know you’ll find it at New Holland.

My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life.

Congratulations!! Your wedding marks the beginning of a whole new chapter of your life. It is a day that you will carry in your hearts forever & I would be honored to be a part of your celebration. Performing wedding ceremonies is one of the most joyous & rewarding activities that I have the privilege of participating in!

Rev. Deanna Lancaster was a pleasure and an honor to work with. She provided a ton of scripts of ceremonies she has performed for us to build our ceremony off of. We didn't realize we had the option to use prewritten vows until we read her scripts and that was a relief to discover. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we could have made because our ceremony is still my favorite part of the entire day. We made a Frankenstein of a script from all the ones she provided, she sent her updates, and we got a the exact ceremony we wanted. She knew to move out of the way for the ceremony kiss and performed the ceremony beautifully. After the ceremony, she handled our marriage license (in an extremely timely manner) and let us know as soon as everything was finalized and official! Then she included the scanned version of our license on the email and provided a cute certificate keepsake on the day of. It was just so wonderful to have her around on our wedding day and for that I am truly thankful.

After the global zombie apocalypse, in the early winter of '24, I heeded the call, picked up my shovel and shotgun and headed out to the fields. Protecting this wide world from the pestilence that is the zombie flower is no small feat, but I've learned to survive. I've made it my mission to hunt these jokers down, wrangle them together, and to serve to you dead off the proverbial platter. In these post-apocalyptic times, the zombie flowers make for excellent mantle trophies, but some have said they make awesome wedding bouquets. Whatever your cup of tea, these zombie flowers are one of a kind prepared just for you.

We contracted Zombie Flowers to provide bouquets for our runway models at Uncon Bridal Con. They were amazing at their communication leading up to the event and delivered the bouquets promptly according to our schedule the day of the event. Their punctuality gave our models enough time to rehearse the runway with their florals. Aside from their great professionalism, Zombie Flowers is a super creative company. Their floral arrangements can be described as wild, yet put together giving a very unique aesthetic that you can't find from Etsy. The best thing that brides say about their products is that their lightweight and already preserved for life. We cannot recommend them enough to add something special to your wedding day!

The suite above the pavilion is a perfect bridal suite and place for the bride and groom to stay after the wedding, super convenient. Absolutely worth the trip!

We hired Kenya to help plan our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From our initial consultation, Kenya was incredibly attentive, asking the right questions to get a feel for our vision. She made us feel like our wedding was her top priority and was always available for meetings, emails, or quick phone calls. Kenya helped us find amazing vendors—her recommendations for the florist and photographer were spot-on. She worked within our budget and was fantastic at negotiating pricing and contracts with vendors. Throughout the planning process, she created detailed timelines, making sure we stayed on track with our decisions, and provided helpful checklists that kept us organized. On the wedding day, everything went off without a hitch, thanks to Kenya”s planning and coordination. She managed the timeline perfectly, kept the vendors in sync, and even handled some unexpected issues without breaking a sweat. It was clear she had everything under control, and it allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the day. Kenya is also so easy to work with—she’s professional but also warm and personable. She really cares about making your wedding unique to you and your partner, and she brings a calm energy that is priceless when you're juggling all the little details. I can’t thank Kenya enough for making our wedding day truly magical. I’d recommend her to any couple looking for a reliable, creative, and stress-free planning experience!

We had our wedding on January 21, 2023. We were blessed to have our reception at The Venue at the Star Theater in Toccoa, GA. As a renovated historic theater, The Star offers classic vibes with romantic feels as you dance under the string lights. Areas offered are main floor for seating and dancing, stage area which we used for seating for the bridal party and the DJ, as well as the balcony area for seating. One of my favorite parts was the perfect get away / leaving reception area in the rear of the building. It is set up perfectly for guests to send off the happy couple and makes for absolutely beautiful moments captured by pictures or video. Lastly, I can’t say enough good things about the owner operators, Jim and Christy. They really go with you through the journey of finding the best way to set up all of the aspects for your special day - whether it a wedding, reception, or something special occasion. They not only let you know of what has worked well for other events at the venue but are open to trying new set ups and such (of course within reason - no hanging from the ceilings or anything like that!!) I would recommend 10/10.
