After one visit with Claudio at the Rotch Jones Duff House, my husband and I knew immediately that was the perfect spot for us to host our wedding. The Rose Garden was a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and the grounds provided plenty of space for our guests to eat, dance and celebrate. Claudio was so easy to work with, he was proactive in letting us know what he needed from us and provided so many tips and recommendations all throughout the planning process. The venue provided much of what we needed for the day, eliminating the need for excess rentals and even coming through a few times in a pinch with details we had accidentally overlooked. They were flexible in so many ways, accommodating all of our vendors and allowing for adjustments as we altered our guest list and changed our vision. Claudio answered every question, was quick to respond and provided invaluable insight for novice planners like us. On the day of the wedding, he was the silent star of the show; we had a day-of coordinator who was helpful and definitely necessary but it was Claudio who knew how to keep everything running exactly to plan and made the day feel completely seamless so I could focus on enjoying my time as a bride instead of stressing about the details of the day. Even our guests and bridal party loved him! From start to finish, working with the Rotch Jones Duff House was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I can’t overstate how well worth the cost it was and how stress-free our experience with them has been. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the rose garden was and the stunning photos we took all over the grounds will forever speak for themselves.

There are very few magical people one encounters in their lifetime. Stephanie is one of those people. She promised us on the first day we met her our wedding day would be the best day of our lives and this promise did not fall short! From the moment we decided to have Stephanie coordinate our wedding up until our wedding day there was never a doubt in our minds we were in the best hands. Her meticulous attention to each detail, ability to use her industry contacts to get things done efficiently, and passion for event coordination shown through in everything she did. She had a vision of what a perfect wedding day would be and executed all of the small details that built this vision and made it possible. She went above and beyond what you would consider coordinator duties and even went to the town hall for us on occasions as we were long distance from the Cape! Stephanie took each step along the way to ensure we were able to avoid unnecessary costs, reduce stress, have fun, and plan an event of a lifetime. In the future any event we plan I know Stephanie would be our first choice to coordinate and she would do so flawlessly.

We had our engagement party at Little Gold and it was phenomenal. Our guests fell in love with Little Gold, as we did the moment we walked inside. Des and Sierra are so wonderful to work with and they have an eye for detail. Every single inch is picture perfect. I highly recommend hosting your event at Little Gold! It's a very magical place and immediately makes you feel right at home. For our party we hired a bartender, used Scratch Catering for food and we made the appetizers ourselves. We also brought our own decorations and it was just lovely making the space our own with our touches. I can't wait to host many, many more events there! I would give Little Gold 100 stars if I could.
