TRAIL CREEK CABIN AND PAVILION⛰️

Options include renting the Cabin for up to 66 guests, Pavilion for up to 250 guests and/or the Grounds for up to 1,500 guests!
Safe to say, they have options for all guest counts, and those views cannot be beat 🥂

SWAP SIDES 🤍
Consider having your immediate families swap sides of their seats during ceremony.
Typically, I’ll recommend reserving the first one or two rows on both sides of the aisle for immediate family - including those walking in processional (aka where’s dad going to sit once we walks you down the aisle) 🪑
During rehearsal, we can also decide if you’d like your families to sit on the same or opposite side as you’re standing.
The opposite allows for a bit of a better view of your face, so definitely something to consider 💕

UNITY CEREMONY 🕯️
If you’re looking for a way to make your wedding ceremony unique, I highly recommend adding in some type of unity ceremony.
This can be anything - and I mean anything - you two do together in symbolism of you uniting through marriage 🥰
I’ve seen couples do everything from tying a rope or taking communion, which is common in some religions - to making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or soil from their hometowns into one pot, making their own house plant.
The options are truly endless, and then more creative and authentic to you two the better (IMO) 🤗

RESERVED SEATING 🪑
I always recommend adding two to four reserved signs to your wedding signage and decor so we can ensure the first row (or two) on each side of the aisle is reserved for your closest family - including those walking in your processional.
This ensure’s they get the best spots, and allows you to let others who aren’t walking in processional know exactly where you’d like them to sit if you’d like them to be as close as possible 🤍

It’s an art 🪄
I’ll be honest, I cry almost every wedding day 😭 but I promise, most of the time those are happy tears lol.
No matter how many weddings I’m a part of, first looks, vows, first dances and toasts almost always get me - but the good news is I’m very productive, even with tears in my eyes 🥺

THE PROCESS ➡️ THE PRODUCT
There’s nothing more satisfying than helping bring someone else’s vision to life 🪄
Sometimes that vision belongs to a bride, other times it’s the vision of another vendor’s.
In this case, I had so much fun helping bring two photographers’ vision to life for a content day they hosted to help challenge and strengthen their and many other photographer’s shooting and editing skills ✨
We played with darker, moodier set-ups, utilizing the inside and outside of @thecottageatriverbend space. The group was challenged by shifts in lighting, and weather, throughout the day - allowing them to hone their skills and flex their creativity.
My jaw has dropped over and over again as all of the photographer have posted sneak peeks with their unique editing styles, including these images captured and edited by @ericarochellephoto 🤩
It’s always an honor to play a small part in bringing someone else’s vision to life, especially on a wedding day!

OBSESSED WITH MARRIAGE LICENSE SIGNING 📜
I’ve never seen so much joy from individuals while signing a legal document quite like when they’re signing a marriage license!
Every time, couples, officiants and witnesses all get s little giddy and throw out all their best “I should have practiced my signature before this” lines 🙈
This piece of paper makes it officially official (legally) and is always one of my favorite moments of each wedding day.
Did you sign your marriage license at your wedding? Or are you planning to? 💕

NON-NEGOTIABLES 🖤
Every wedding has one or two. Do you know what yours are?
I highly recommend figuring out what your non-negotiables are before booking anything. This will help you start down the right path from the beginning 🤍
If it’s a Saturday date, great! Only tour venues that have Saturday dates open.
If it’s hiring your all time favorite photographer, perfect! Reach out to them to confirm their travel schedule and availability before booking a venue and setting your date.
I socialized my own wedding date with some of my closest friends before booking because it was so important to me that they’d be able to attend 💕
So, figure yours out at the beginning of the planning process ✨

ELEVATE YOUR FLORALS (LITERALLY) 💐
Florals at the top of your wedding ceremony aisle can be gorgeous, but placing them on the ground tends to draw your guests’ gaze down 😌
Instead, elevate your ceremony florals by placing them atop a pedestal, directing the gaze to your full ceremony set-up!
And then, after ceremony you can repurpose these florals with or without the pedestals on or in front of your sweetheart or head table at reception 🤩
