    The Wedding of a Lifetime

    Having our wedding at Deering Estate was a dream come true. The view is indescribable. On our first time visiting, we knew this was the place for us. Christina gave us our initial tour and helped us throughout the entire process. She was a pleasure to work with! Especially since it was a destination wedding for us, it was a comfort being left in good hands. Overall, communication with Christina was amazing, but there was a lapse between what we were told by Christina and the security on the day of our wedding. Security tried to lock us out of a room we paid for, as well as the room where our wedding party was meant to keep all of our personal belongings. My husband and wedding planner got everything straightened out when they were eventually able to get in contact with Christina (for some reason, it was harder to reach her that day). Although, that situation definitely put a damper on our special day; all in all, we’d do it again! Deering allows you to bring outside caterers and services to their beautiful location, so we truly got everything we wanted. It was a blessing of a day and better than any wedding I could’ve dreamt for myself. 10/10 would recommend this location for ANY event. (Just ensure you have adequate bug spray and extra lights around your set up for when it gets dark, as the property does not provide any!)
