Sometimes small changes make big impacts! Loving our new drink dispensers. They are here at the venue you and you are more than welcome to borrow them! Cheers! Xoxo ~ Callie#sparrowlane #sparrowlanevenue #moweddings #missouriweddingvenue #417wedding #417weddingvenue
After spending about 14 hours cleaning candle holders, We’ve got a little update on our candle policy! You are still more than welcome to borrow our cylinder candle holders if you’d like, with the caveat being, you will need to either use battery operated candles (we have about 65 here available to you) or floating candles in them please. If you use floating candles, please be sure to clean up any soot left behind on the glass. This will ensure that everyone will have fresh clean candle holders available for their weddings! If you have your heart set on live flame pillar candles, that is totally fine, you will just need to provide your own candles and holders. Once we get the gold votive holders all cleaned up, they will also become battery operated candles only. 4 years of wax build up is no joke! lolThanks for your help in keeping Sparrow Lane a dream for all our couples! ♥️#417 #417bride #417bridemagazine #417weddings #417weddingvenue #metropolitanweddingmagazine #metwed #springfieldmoweddingvenue #lovespringfield #showmespringfieldmo #springfieldmolocal #missouriweddingvenue #midwestweddings #weddingvenue #missouriweddingvenue #springfieldmoweddings #417weddings #sparrowlanevenue #sparrowlane #elegantwedding #missouriwedding #missouriweddings #417mag #417weddings #weddingcandles

A venue host is a great asset for you and your wedding day! Your host will be there to help your day go smoothly so you can relax and be in the moment! They are here to be a helping hand, a problem solver, a venue consierge, if you will! They are here to help you catch up if you are running behind, be your hype woman, be your back up plan if something (or someone) falls through.Venue host’s main priority is the venue itself so you won’t want to PLAN on them doing your tasks like, cutting the cake, lighting candles, serving food, etc. Because if something with the venue needs their attention, that’s where their attention will go. But they are most definitely willing to help out with those types of things if you need an extra hand! This is the main difference between a venue host and a coordinator. A coordinator is here to serve you while a venue host is here to serve the venue and help you if need be! They in NO way replace the need for a coordinator! Your planner and or coordinator are unreplaceable on a wedding day! We have 4 amazing venue hosts here at the venue! Emma, Tara, Destiny or Becca will be here to help your wedding day go off without a hitch! They are all very sweet and helpful and excited to help you celebrate your day! ♥️..#417 #417bride #417bridemagazine #417weddings #417weddingvenue #metropolitanweddingmagazine #metwed #springfieldmoweddingvenue #lovespringfield #showmespringfieldmo #springfieldmolocal #missouriweddingvenue #midwestweddings #weddingvenue #missouriweddingvenue #springfieldmoweddings #417weddings #sparrowlanevenue #sparrowlane #elegantwedding #missouriwedding #missouriweddings #417mag #417weddings #weddingflorals #weddinginspiration #classicwedding #timelesswedding #fineartweddings #fineartwedding #venue #venuehost

I do love our summer ferns and they will be back each year, but it’s been a struggle on what to do once they’ve run their course for the season. I think we’ve found our solution.

What time should you have your ceremony (pt 3)If you missed them go back and check out parts one and two of our chat to get the full story of what you need to keep in mind when deciding what time to have your ceremony. The last thing you need to decide on is whether or not you are going to do a first look. First let me say, this is a decision that should be made between the two of you. There will be a lot of opinions on the subject, but here is a bonus tip, there are two opinions that trump all others, and those belong to you and your fiancé! (I, in fact have my own opinions on the matter but I will save those for another post!) 😊The reason this matters for your ceremony is strictly timeline related. Just keep in mind that if you are not doing a first look the majority of your pictures will have to take place after the ceremony so you will need to leave plenty of time between ceremony and sunset. This will also mean that you will want to do something to keep your guests entertained between ceremony and reception while you are taking your photos. And when I say entertained, I mostly mean fed. Lol!! You don’t want to leave a big gap in the action and since dinner may be a bit later, Cocktail hour with appetizers is a great option to keep guests mingling and happy while you finish up with your photographer! Hope this helps!

What time should you have your ceremony? (part 2)We’ve discussed how day of the week could affect your ceremony time. So let’s now chat about time of the year. Most couples start wedding planning with at least a season in mind. This definitely plays a role in deciding when to begin your ceremony. It’s a good idea to plan on having the majority of your photos done before sunset, with the exception of a few sunset photos taking with your new spouse. These are going to be the first photos taken of you as a married couple so it is important to sneak a way for a few minutes to grab those. But like I said, it’s easy to sneak out for 10 or 15 minutes with your photographer/videographer during the reception once you’ve gotten things rolling (aka the people fed. Lol) It’s a good idea to look up the sunset time for your wedding day. This can be done with a simple google search of your date and the word sunset, and work your way back from there with your time line. For example in the fall you will want an earlier ceremony since the sun sets so much earlier. So if you are looking at an October wedding with a 6:15 sunset, you may want to opt for a 4:30 ceremony. But if you are planning on a July wedding with an 8:30 sunset it maybe a good idea to have a 6:00 ceremony, still leaving plenty of time for photos and hopefully allowing the temps to drop just a bit. And of course another thing to consider when deciding your ceremony time is whether or not you’re doing a first look. We will discuss that in part 3. 😊Hope this helps!Xo~Callie📸 @kortneybrookphotography Planner @autumnwalk11 Venue @sparrowlanevenue Photographer @kortneybrookphotography Video @codaygarrison Florist @rita.dodson.33 Decor and rentals @shannonscustomfloral Cowhide rentals @legacy.rentals Cake @shejna05 Caterer @shawna.hartshorn Bar @shakers19 Dj @elevatedjs #sparrowlane #sparrowlanevenue #sparrowlaneweddings #ceremony #ceremonytime #ceremonytimes #weddingseasons #417bride #417weddings #misso
Serenity- the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Synonym- Sparrow Lane
Let’s talk about ceremony time! What time should you have your ceremony? We get asked this question often! There are a few things to keep in mind! So let’s discuss. (Pt.1)The first thing you want to consider is the day of the week!If you are having a Friday (or weekday) wedding, you may want a later ceremony time to allow guests time to freshen up and make the commute after work. 6:00 or 6:30 works great! Saturday weddings are much more flexible! We have had everything from a 10:00 am ceremony to 7:00 pm. Sunday weddings tend to wrap up a littler earlier considering most people have work the next day. So if you want the most time with your people you might consider an earlier start time! We have seen between the hours of 2:00-4:30 a lot on Sundays. There are a few more factors to keep in mind, so stay tuned for part 2. 📸 @igmw.photography Planner @kimmyannevents Venue @sparrowlanevenue Photo/video @igmw.photography Florist @pampas.andpetals Draping @shannonscustomfloral Mantel @sparrowlanevenue Mirror @somethingborrowed417 Catering @lilleescatering Bar @thetravelingtinco Dj @elevatedjs Makeup @makeupbyashley.nicole Hair @kayleemitchell.hair Gown @breezebridal Men’s attire @indochino & @generationtux
