Awarded Best of Zola
Erik, From our first meeting, we clicked and since then it has been a fun ride: We will forever boast about all that you offer (2 nights BEFORE the big day is a GAME CHANGER), the tasting of our menu (with your added recommendations), and all of the glorious changes you have made and continue to make to the Venue. All in all, the Venue and food were SPECTACULAR! You were incredibly helpful and attentive to all our needs throughout the day and then some. We could not have asked for a more interactive, involved, and caring person to be our Venue Coordinator. We STRONGLY recommend you to anyone who wants to have a joyous Wedding!

The Little Wedding Chapel was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding of 28 guests. Theresa, the owner, was incredible and made our day absolutely perfect. She was extremely communicative and available any time, any day to help us bring our unique vision to life. The vendors she works with, including the caterer and cake designer, were all fantastic and the food was delicious and the cake was beautiful. Theresa and her team were so friendly and really made the entire experience enjoyable rather than stressful. We would highly recommend The Little Wedding Chapel to any couples looking for an intimate, stress-free wedding day.

Some couples walk in and just know. It's not just the view, though that lake at sunset comes close to stealing the show. It's the feeling: room to breathe, and the freedom to do the day your way.

Go all-inclusive or DIY, curated vendors or your own.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Mulberry Estates. I was in the hunt for a venue to have a surprise gender reveal/baby shower for my best friend. Right when I was about to give up I came upon Mulberry through google search. I immediately fall in love without seeing it in person. I contacted the venue and was in contact with Melanie since. Due to the fact I lived in a different city all the planning was done vie phone calls and text messages. Melanie’s impeccable service from day one made the day truly memorable. On the day of the event, I must say, I felled in loved even more. The guest loved it and most importantly my best friend and husband loved it. The venue definitely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant. Melanie was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest felt comfortable and well taken care of. The venue itself is beautifully designed, with a perfect blend of modern and cozy elements. Thank you so much again Melanie for all your time and patience with me through the planning since they one until the event date. Thank you once again for an outstanding experience. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
