“It has been almost 3 weeks since our wedding, and we still have friends and family raving about what an amazing day it was. They keep asking me, "Shellby, you planned a beautiful wedding, where did you find this place?". The first thing I tell them is that I found them on Zola, and then I tell them I barely planned the wedding at all. Neuse Breeze has an incredible package deal that truly takes away a lot of the stresses of wedding planning especially as we had both families coming from out of town (Massachusetts and Florida). The florals that they provide are stunning and the smell is to die for. If I could have packaged them all up and drove them back home with us, I would of. The package also includes food from Flame Catering which was delicious. DJ Kyle (again, DJ included in the package) was so nice and performed a great wedding ceremony and reception. I felt like I had many odd requests for music, and he did a really great job mashing them up for the ceremony. Our families had a great time on the dance floor, they only wish the party could have gone on longer. Luckily, the Mexican restaurant La Casa del Patron stayed open late for an afterparty celebration. Staying the night at the houses on property was so relaxing, and waking up to the view of the Neuse River on my wedding day and the day after is something I will cherish forever. I want to sincerely thank Marianne and Glenn for hosting weddings on their property and the rest of the Neuse Breeze team for everything they did leading up to and the day of the wedding. You guys rock!!”
