    Our experience with Etheral, and specifically Kelsey, from the moment we first saw the space to our special day, was incredible. From the moment we first saw the space and met with Kelsey, we knew this location and service were what we were looking for. Throughout the process, the guidance, timely responses, and recommendations were on point! The actual wedding was a perfect day! The flow of the day was stellar with Kelsey, our other vendors, our guests and the actual set up and needs of the wedding. We had a magical day and the team and Kelsey really knocked it out of the park from the first visit to the day of!!!

    Ethereal Confections was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Shannon and the team were incredibly communicative, responsive, and thorough in guiding us through the process. Their warm, personalized service made planning our big day feel easy and effortless. The quality of their work was exceptional, and we were thrilled with the beautiful and delicious desserts that were included- TRUFFLES YUM. Shannon took care of all the small details we often forget about, ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly. We highly recommend Ethereal Confections, especially for weddings of 80-85 guests looking for a cost-effective, high-quality vendor who will make your special day that much more memorable.

    I had my wedding in the winter and what a winter wonderland! The staff was super nice, and very easy to work with regarding all the emails and questions I had. The venue is beautiful, with the ability to decorate how you would like. There was Santa in the square which was amazing especially looking back at my wedding photo's.
