Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend John highly enough. He is extremely professional and experienced, crafted a ceremony from our interview and questionnaire responses that perfectly fit our vision, smoothly and calmly guided us through our rehearsal, and did a wonderful job with the ceremony. But beyond that, John is a true artist. If you are looking for a ceremony that is deeply personal, celebrating love and life and drawing on a connection with nature and spirituality, look no further. John does not merely weave words into emotion, he creates a whole world, a little enclave where you and your guests can linger in a moment of pure joy. There was not a dry eye in the room, and every single one of our guests (even my ultra-conservative, traditional, religious family) took time to tell us that the ceremony was the most beautiful, emotional, and heartfelt one they’d attended.

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and beautifully maintained grounds that made for the most amazing backdrop to our special day. Special thanks to the venue coordinator, Katie, who made the planning process so easy and stress-free. She was attentive, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was always available to answer any questions I had before the wedding. We met a month prior to the day to discuss the timeline of the day which helped make the day stress-free! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a dream wedding location. It was truly a day to remember! We chose Food for Thought, the in-house caterer for Earlyhouse and the food was nothing short of spectacular. The menu options were diverse and perfectly customizable to suit our tastes and dietary needs, making it easy to create a meal that all of our guests loved. All of the vendors and staff at Earlyhouse made our wedding day memorable and we highly recommend Earlyhouse for your wedding or next event!
