Three words to describe your wedding: Fun, relaxed, and Family

Quotes/Feedback about vendors or Forest House: All vendors were absolutely amazing!! As we live in England and only got to meet everyone once we relied heavily on emails and skype dates. Forest House was so flexible and friendly. You handled lots of last minute details without worrying the bride that she forgot things (which there were a few) J The photographers were super friendly and patient. Plus their photography was so bright and fun! Flowers were perfect and exactly as envisioned from just one visit.

Advice to upcoming/planning for Brides and Grooms: Forest House is super helpful! Definitely ask questions and work with them to make your dreams come true. They are quick to respond and give really great advice.
