LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
When I set out to plan our wedding, there were two things my husband and I knew we absolutely needed: a venue that had “character” all on its own, and food that was “top-notch” while still being allergy-friendly. So, I logged onto Facebook and started joining every bridal group I could find. I was looking for something VERY SPECIFIC, a gem, a place that had everything I was envisioning. Honestly, I didn’t think it existed. And then came The Ivy at Ellis Preserve by Finley Catering. What I thought didn’t exist suddenly became a reality. My husband and I visited The Ivy just one month after it opened, and we instantly fell in love. That was it. The search was over. Just as quickly as we fell in love with each other, we fell in love with the venue. From start to finish, Meg was responsive, caring, attentive, and professional. She understood that my husband and I have serious food allergies and never made us feel like our needs were an inconvenience or an afterthought. Meg, our event coordinator, and her husband, Mike, our maître d, went above and beyond to make our wedding day incredibly special. Most people say their wedding day “flashed before their eyes,” but for me, that was never the case. Every moment felt like my husband and I were spinning together inside a snow globe, dancing while the entire world settled around us. And I truly believe that feeling was possible because of how well the entire team took care of us. The staff were INCREDIBLE. Every single person we encountered was kind, helpful, attentive, and professional. It’s been just shy of three weeks since our wedding, and our guests are STILL raving about the cocktail hour and dinner. MANY of them have told us it was, by far, the best cocktail hour they have ever experienced. And the best part? We didn’t even select any of the food upgrades! But what meant the most to my husband and me was that we didn’t just have to hear about how amazing the food was from our guests; we got to experience it ourselves. Meg and Mike took our allergies seriously and went above and beyond to make modifications so we could safely enjoy our wedding meal alongside everyone else. They made us feel like our allergies didn’t make us “different.” We were able to sit down, eat, celebrate, and enjoy our reception just like every other couple. That meant EVERYTHING to us. I cannot stop raving about Finley Catering and their newest venue, The Ivy at Ellis Preserve and clearly, neither can our guests! Throughout the entire planning process, I talked endlessly about how beautiful the venue is. It is SO elegant and beautiful on its own that it truly doesn’t need much. In fact, I DIY’d about 95% of my wedding, and I would tell every future couple the same thing: you don’t have to go all out. Keep it simple. Let the architecture, character, and elegance of The Ivy speak for you. The “bones” of this venue are absolutely beautiful, and they create the perfect canvas for whatever vision you have. Meg and Mike, thank you SOOOOO much for everything you did for us. Thank you for listening, caring, accommodating, anticipating our needs, and making us feel so incredibly special from the moment we walked through The Ivy’s doors to the moment our wedding day ended. We will forever be grateful that we found our “gem” and that we got to celebrate the beginning of our marriage there. ️ The Ivy at Ellis Preserve will always hold such a special place in our hearts.

Amazing Venue !
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about The Ivy! From the moment we toured the venue to the last dance on our wedding night, every part of our experience exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. The ballroom, cocktail hour space, and grounds created the perfect setting for our wedding. The food and service were exceptional, and everything throughout the evening was flawless. A huge thank you to Jordan, our wedding coordinator, who was incredible from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, she was organized, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions. On the wedding day, she made everything feel effortless. Knowing she was there coordinating every detail allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment. She made us feel so cared for and ensured the entire day ran seamlessly. We also cannot thank Mike, our maître d', enough. He brought our vision to life perfectly. Walking into our reception for the first time was such an unforgettable moment because every detail had been executed beautifully. Throughout the evening, Mike made sure everything stayed on schedule and that we, our families, and our guests were taken care of. His professionalism and attention to detail were truly outstanding. The entire team at The Ivy worked together so seamlessly, and it was obvious how much they genuinely cared about making our wedding perfect. Every vendor commented on how wonderful it was to work there, and every guest had an amazing experience. If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines breathtaking beauty with exceptional service and an incredible staff, The Ivy is the perfect choice. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more. Thank you for giving us memories we'll cherish for a lifetime!

The Ivy!!!
The Ivy at Ellis Preserve completely exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Their communication was amazing throughout the entire planning process, and on our wedding day, the bridal assistants and coordinators worked seamlessly together so I could actually sit back and enjoy every moment instead of worrying about details. The venue itself is breathtaking, and the food and drinks were genuinely some of the best we've ever had. Everything came together perfectly, and we honestly can't imagine getting married anywhere else. We're already telling everyone we know to book their wedding here. Five stars isn't enough for how special they made our day.
