From the first time we met with Kristen, we were impressed by her transparent and honest communication style. Kristen was extremely professional, empathetic, and timely in all aspects of the planning processing including addressing any issues that came up. Kristen's experience and warm personality made us feel comfortable amidst the whirlwind of wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better or more attentive planner, we felt like her only couple. During our wedding we had the pleasure of meeting and working with her husband, who was equally kind and supportive with a shared passion and commitment to making couples dreams come to life. We are excited for Kristen as she embarks on this new journey with Milliken Manor, a hidden gem that we highly recommend to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.

We had our wedding last weekend at Maple Lane and we are still blown away by how amazing it was. Kim and Allyn were so helpful not only in the months, weeks, and days leading up, but were on site helping ensure things ran smoothly on the day of. The grounds are gorgeous and a beautiful backdrop to any celebration. We chose to include the 1791 House for our bridal party and we all agreed- it was one of the coolest places to stay. Being able to walk across the street in between tasks was awesome and there was plenty of space for everyone. At the start of our search for a venue, we felt very discouraged by the hefty price tags and preferred vendor lists. Maple Lane was incredibly affordable for our budget- even including the accommodations for our bridal party. Whether you're looking for an indoor event, or a large tented outdoor event like us- this place should definitely be on the top of your list. We only toured one venue, Maple Lane, and we instantly fell in love.
