MEET BRITT ✨ AKA Venue Director.
"When I'm not working, you can find me spending time with my childhood best friend, now husband, Jacob. Together, we are blessed with 9 year-old twins. Some of my absolute favorite things include a good hot cup of coffee, a lazy beach day with a good book, snow-skiing, watching college football, and there is NOTHING like quality time spent sharing a slow meal with friends & family."
Favorite Spot at The Colonial:
"I really like under the oak tree on the front lawn. It's super peaceful and pretty at anytime of the day. We enjoy several team lunches out there from time to time"
Beverage Order:
"In the morning, a hot latte and during a night out, an extra dirty martini… must have blue cheese olives, though"
Wedding Day Hill I'll die on:
"Your preferred vendor list is not there to limit you. It is there to support you.
These are the vendors who know the property, understand the flow of the day, and have proven they can deliver the level of service we want our couples to experience. Budget will always matter, but the cheapest option is not always the best value. On wedding day, you are not just paying for a service... you are paying for communication, professionalism, timing, problem-solving, and peace of mind.
And that is alwayyys a hill I will die on."
Smoked bourbon bar hallelujah. Sphere ice cubes hallelujah. Old fashioned with choice of bourbon hallelujah.

There are so many venues that look good in photos… But before you book, you should know all the important factors.
What’s included?
Where do guests go after ceremony?
What happens if it rains?
Who is there on wedding day?
How much are you expected to figure out on your own?
Those answers matter more than people realize. Pretty gets your attention, of course. But clear, easy, and supported is what you’ll actually remember. 👏
When you tour, you may see just an empty room.
But we see the dinner tables, the candles lit, the florals, the champagne glasses, the guests finding their seats, and the feeling the space will hold once the day begins.
The Parlor and Poppy House are two of our most versatile spaces. They are both beautiful on their own, but even better once they’re brought to life. ✨
A little before and after, because sometimes seeing the transformation makes all the difference.
