I had an absolutely incredible time planning my July 16th wedding at Jones River Trading for 110…read moreguests. I opted to go with the package that includes catering, cake, DJ, flowers, invitations, and a champagne toast. I don't have a single bad thing to say about any of the vendors included in the package; they were all professional, responsive, and took great care to ensure they understood what my husband and I were imagining. The food and wait staff service was phenomenal (Plymouth Bay Catering), the cake was beautiful, delicious, and whimsical like we wanted (Piece of Cake), the flowers were gorgeous and fresh-cut (The Candy Jar Florist), and DJ Scott really adhered to our Please Play and Please Do Not Play lists.
The venue is full of natural light and eclectically decorated with nautical and maritime historical memorabilia. The original floors and high ceiling of the building are breathtaking, and the waterwheel outside is an idyllic spot for an outdoor ceremony. It is a visually interesting venue on its own, which spares you from having to decorate or provide expensive uplighting. We didn't decorate much at all, and the space didn't look bare.
Mary, my wedding coordinator, really took to heart my one request. I told her I would rather have an imperfect detail here or there than be overstressed. Mary not only managed the timing and execution of a flawless wedding, but she was a relaxed, positive, and excited presence throughout the planning process.
At the wedding, I just kept being told in whispered tones the same thing: "This is the nicest wedding I've ever attended!". I've personally attended several weddings of close friends lately, and I know for a fact we spent significantly less for an exponentially more upscale event. I would recommend Jones River Trading for a wedding or large gathering in a heartbeat!
