Homestead Blessings was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. From the moment we first met with Christianna, we were impressed by her calm, knowledgeable, and understanding communication style. The venue itself was beautiful, open, clean, and had a relaxed vibe that put us and our guests at ease. In the midst of the family chaos that can come with planning a wedding, Christianna was the calming presence we all needed. She kept everyone focused and took care of every detail we hadn't even thought of. We were able to spend the whole weekend making memories with our family and friends, as Homestead Blessings handled all the set up, clean up, and other logistical details that go into planning an epic event. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to Christianna and the Homestead Blessings team for helping make our wedding day truly special.
