Meredith's place was more than I could've hoped for. She was unbelievably kind and accommodating, both on the day of the event and with rental delivery and pickups. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the space was, and it truly is. Her backyard was the perfect backdrop for our small spring wedding, and the inside is perfectly curated as well. We had plenty of space for setting up and storing things during the event which made everything a breeze. It truly is the perfect place for events and gatherings.
