Working with Caitlin at Clayton House by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream from start to finish. She kept us informed every step of the way and was always transparent with every little detail, which made the planning process so much easier. What really set them apart was how personalized everything felt—Caitlin listened to what we wanted and actually brought our vision to life rather than pushing a cookie-cutter approach. The venue itself is stunning with plenty of space for our guests to move around and enjoy the day, and the open layout worked perfectly for our celebration. The team handled all the details with such care and professionalism, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better partner in making our wedding special.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tony and Linda were wonderful to work with. All the vendors we worked with were also lovely. We used an outside photographer and florist. We were anticipating 75 guests for a weekend summer wedding and we were upset at other venues because we kept getting told that those places wouldn't open for less than 15 grand so wee needed to invite more people or go overboard on flowers for them to consider hosting us. That was not the case at the Regency Garden. They were upfront with cost and didn't pressure us to spend more. Super kind and super genuine. Everything was immaculate on the day of and they continued to work with us when our guest count fell significantly. They answered all my questions within 24 business hours and even worked with me to let me come in early for finishing touches. I can be quite the worry wart so I'm greatful to have such knowledgeable professions support me so I could be at ease on the day of.

We used Maple & Rye to cater our wedding a few weeks ago. Rhiannon and the Maple & Rye team were so great to work with and were able to accommodate all our requests, even the last minute ones. They were able to cater Beef Filet buffet style which can be hard to make in advance but it turned out wonderful and the chef even stopped by to check to make sure everything was good before it was served. All the food was spectacular and all our guests keep mentioning how amazing the food and drinks were. Overall we had a wonderful wedding day and everything went smoothly. Thank you so much, Rhiannon!
