There are many moving parts, but you will want to develop your schedule with reference to the kind of photographs you want. 🤩

Discuss with your photographer the amounts of time to allow for various sets of photos, the people you want to be sure to include, and the time of day to take them.

It may sound odd to suggest that your ceremony and reception be scheduled around your photographer, but you want great pictures of this once in a lifetime set of events, and those photos may depend a great deal on the light available. 👏

Short winter days require early photo sessions, while summer days offer more options. Think about this before you create those gorgeous invitations!

07/02/2024

We are excited that you have chosen to share your celebration with us! ⭐

To hold your date, we will need to receive your deposit and signed contract.

We will invoice you for the deposit, send the contract, and hold the selected date for 7 days to give you time to complete those steps. 🙌

’s Place, A Bar & Grill is tiny, with seats inside for 40, and a beautiful bar and tables made from the 200 year old heart pine floor joists discovered during the renovation of First & Green across the street. 🎉

We squeezed in a full service restaurant kitchen that our team uses to create lovely food. 👏

To make the celebration easy and joyful for all, planning the leaving process in advance is very helpful. Booking the time required to both decorate and undecorate helps everybody relax. 💫

Some folks hold undecorating brunches the day after, which we are happy to accommodate if it is planned in. 💫

If something unexpected happens and you must leave without removing your items we offer a half day rate. ✅

It was a great night for live music!

With washed concrete floors and stuccoed walls, The Courtyard is covered against rain and sun, but not weather tight. 🍃

Ceiling and large drum fans and 3 400,000 BTU gas heaters plus permanently installed fire pits and portable propane heaters make it comfortable in almost all weather conditions. 🔥😊

The wide shallow stage at one end is often used by bands to offer live music and by bridal couples for their ceremony.

Choose carefully, and review previous wedding work!

Here are other tips to pay attention to when it comes to finding your wedding photographer:

✨ Getting a seasoned professional is important.
✨Be sure you understand all charges, as the cost of additional images can mount fast.
✨Give the photographer a list of people and combinations you must have, and determine whether you want formal portraits, candid shots, or both, and choose locations with the photographer.

Many couples have all their pictures taken in the Grenada Downtown Historic District, as there are a number of interesting elements to use as backdrops.

Often you can get a better price if engagement and wedding photos are both done with the same photographer!

Our Main Hall is our flagship space, known to many of you as Grenada’s grandest event space. 🌟

As the number of venues we offer has grown, we needed a way to differentiate amongst the six of them.

That's why we simply call it what it is: The Main Hall at First & Green📍

With Ebonie Shante – I just got recognized as one of their rising fans! 🎉

Only you can decide! 👰

It’s easy to spend more than $1,000 on a dress at a bridal store, before the cost of alterations. 💵

Dresses can take 6 - 12 months to arrive. Dress shopping should, therefore, be an early priority. 📆

Remember, though, that you WILL find a dress. Don’t let the dress stress you out on timeline.

If THE DRESS isn’t of high importance to you, consider a beautiful white bridesmaid dress or a white dress that isn’t marketed as a bridal gown. 😀

There are lots of options that usually cost substantially less than an official wedding dress.

And of course, everyone will think you are beautiful even if you wear a paper sack! 💫
