It might be cliche to refer to your wedding as "magical" and yet, there is truly no other word the even comes close. Our story (definitely my favorite but I'm a little biased) could only come to this perfect ending at this perfect venue. Our original wedding was to be in St. Augustine in April but alas - Covid...
I have to say though that everything happens for a reason because we were able to meet Molly and her amazing family. From our first meeting, we knew this was the place to seal our forever. Molly was so accommodating, professional and kind that we knew we were "home". We are from Ohio, so we were able to work with her for every...single...detail. She hooked us up with an amazing florist, a caterer, our cake decorator, a hair stylist and makeup artist, to our adorable maple syrup favors...and even a gluten free pizzeria for our rehearsal dinner. I never had to feel overwhelmed or frustrated as a bride...especially a second time, older bride with no idea what she was doing! Molly planned every detail of the ceremony, worked with our deejay (a family friend) and our photographer to ensure every tiny detail was perfectly executed. And her mom and dad were so helpful and thoughtful.
Everyone who attended our tiny wedding of just 30 guests - all driving from Ohio - were amazing and in awe of the natural beauty of the venue. From the ornate wood carvings scattered throughout the rock walls to the cascading waterfall that flowed behind us while we said our vows, to the barn and it's simple splendor, to the tables with their linen tablecloths...everything was gorgeous. Of course, we were blessed with blue skies and cool breezes as it was the mountains.
Every guest felt personally special at our wedding. Molly's dad drove them in a cart to the ceremony as we had several people who were struggling with serious illness (cancer and congenital heart disease). Things were socially distanced and yet it still felt intimate.
Our ceremony was full of love, promise and the hope of the future. Each day, my husband and I, and our four older children from previous marriages, recall the beauty of the vows we exchanged and how much meaning was behind them.
I truly cannot say enough about The Barn at Maple Falls. We are looking forward to coming back every 5 years with our children on our anniversary to recreate the magic of this sacred day.
Thank you to the entire crew at The Barn at Maple Falls! We love you guys!
