Meekers Venue was absolutely beautiful and the perfect place for our wedding! Tess helped bring my vision to life and created such an elegant scene. We chose their decoration package, and it was hands down the best decision it made everything look stunning and stress free. The whole Meekers team is amazing (and all family, which makes it even more special!). Their son ran the 360 photo booth, which was such a hit with our guests. Tess was also our day of coordinator and was incredible at keeping everything on track, answering guests’ questions, and making sure I could truly enjoy my day without worrying about a thing. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with amazing, detail oriented staff this is the place for you!
