Here’s why you shouldn’t feel bad saying, “Thanks, but I found a different…”

Every single couple has a different budget, different priorities, different needs, and different dreams.

We may not be the best fit for your wedding, and that’s ok! I’d rather you prioritize what’s most important to you and don’t compromise. The last thing you should do is contract something that doesn’t feel right. And that goes for every single damn thing about your wedding. Don’t let outside influence, or Pinterest pressure determine what you’re doing.

And you know what, when I get a message with that I honestly sigh a little relief. Because I didn’t get ghosted. And I know we aren’t meant to be. I can just move on instead of wondering if the response to your inquiry email landed in your junk (happens all the time 😞). Or if I should follow up again.

On the plus side it also helps me to focus on what I love, the Hell Yes couples! The ones that know almost instantly they want to get married here, the couples that immediately click with us, and understand + respect our process. Those couples are my jam 🎉. They want a unique experience, they want to set their own timeline and not just follow the script. They want the freedom to make their wedding exactly want they dreamed. They want their dogs present, they want to bring their horses. They’d rather BBQ and cleanup the day after then rush out at 10pm. Their families roll in 15 deep with camp trailers, helping hands, and the good times begin.

That’s why I’ll never be mad if you’re not the right fit for us and I’ll happily refer you to check out several other venues I love.
