“Planning our wedding from Charleston, SC, Daniel and I had to be strategic with our venue tours and wedding coordination. The North Shore House was the first venue we planned to visit on a weekend trip home. From the moment we drove through the gorgeous grounds gate, we were hooked. Eric met us at the door and gave us a walkthrough of the estate. He was very professional, thorough, light-hearted, and honest. He had all the answers to any question we posed. After leaving, we made it half through our next venue tour, and knew we had already found the place for us at the North Shore House. We got engaged in November, booked the North Shore House in January, and recently held our event on September 9th. A majority of our coordination meetings, we were able to hold remotely (which saved a few plane rides for us) Everytime we came to visit for a bridal expo, tasting, and then later our 30 day pre-wedding meeting, the grounds became lush and more beautiful than we remembered. It truly is a gorgeous venue. We had the pleasure of working with the entire team—from Louise and Eric, to Kelly, Molly, and Emma. It truly was a group effort. The platform that they use “Planning Pods” makes it easy to communicate all needs and unanswered prompts with clear deadlines. It’s a great tool to keep planning needs organized. The food was impeccable! Ken made the BEST recommendations! I have celiac disease, and the whole kitchen staff made accommodations to ensure all guests with allergies were able to enjoy the food. I’ll be thinking about Michelle’s gluten-free cupcakes for years to come! I have to take the rest of my review to praise Kelly Koster, who was our day-of coordinator. I could NOT have stayed as calm as I had without her guidance. The forecast for our wedding day was less than ideal, scattered storms in the area. All that I wanted for the past ten months was to get married alongside that gorgeous lake. Kelly and the team watched the storm tracker, and kept us updated on our options. She presented alternatives with a very matter-of-fact attitude, ensuring that it was our decision (which made it hard because I was talking to my husband through other people.) The whole team scrambled to move our ceremony a half hour earlier and ultimately, we moved the cocktail hour inside. As I walked down the aisle, a very dramatic windstorm blew through, my veil flew even off of my head! We all watched as the sky turned from blue to grey in the most dramatic way. It was a ceremony for the books. Not a drop of rain fell until the last guest entered the venue for cocktail hour. I could not have imagined our wedding to have been anywhere else. From the rehearsal dinner, to the wedding, accommodations, food, day-of coordinator, the North Shore House provided exactly what we NEEDED for our day. It truly is the best one-stop shop. We are forever grateful of the memories this venue has given us. We plan to come back every year for our anniversary dinner! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

“This was our first time at Crossed Keys Estate, and from the moment we did our research, we knew we were in for something special. The estate’s 30 acres of history, with stunning gardens, towering 200-year-old trees, and a charming farmhouse, provide the perfect mix of modern and rustic elegance. One of our favorite aspects? The venue hosts just one wedding a day, so all the attention and resources are devoted to the couple—a huge plus for creating a seamless experience. From the beginning, Erika and Jeremy were so laid-back and excited to enjoy their day. The preparation spaces were perfect—the girls had a beautiful rustic farmhouse, while the guys had a spacious house just down the gravel road, complete with a golf green for a little fun before the festivities. We love incorporating multiple, and Crossed Keys Estate offered the perfect backdrop for each one. From the emotional bridesmaids' reveal to the heartwarming first look between Erika and her dad (we could feel the intensity of the moment from the sidelines), and finally, the groom's first look on the picturesque grounds—it was magical. The estate’s swing under the giant tree and the intimate reflection pond were standout spots for capturing stunning couple photos, tucked away from the crowd. The reception space was equally amazing. The modern hall, with floor-to-ceiling windows, allowed gorgeous natural light to flood the room, making for a perfect backdrop for the celebration and the sweetheart table. Working with Katrina, the Senior Venue Coordinator, was a breeze. Every request the couple had was thoroughly listened to, and the venue made sure the day flowed effortlessly for everyone involved. Everything was timed perfectly, the florals (created by the venue!) were stunning, and the food was exquisite. Every detail was executed flawlessly, ensuring the couple and their guests could enjoy the day without a single hiccup. Now that we’ve experienced Crossed Keys Estate firsthand, we can’t wait to return! Our creativity was sparked by the newness of the venue, but we’re also excited to bring that knowledge back for future weddings. Erika and Jeremy’s wedding was a perfect day, and we look forward to more love stories at this beautiful estate.”

“In addition to being the most beautiful venue, the staff at LMCC truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives! The attention and responsiveness leading up to our wedding day and on our wedding day was unbelievable. They made it so easy and stress-free. Could not recommend this venue more!!!”

“We're thrilled to share that our wedding at Waterloo Village in June 2024 is coming together beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! Diane and Carolynn have been absolutely fantastic in assisting us with planning our Garden Party-themed celebration. Their expertise and support have truly been invaluable in bringing our vision to life. We highly recommend Waterloo Village to any couples looking for a magical wedding experience.”
