Having our wedding at The Barn at Highpoint Farms was probably one of the best decisions we made…read more First off, I love that it is a family run business with generations of experience. They take pride in their venue and the personalized, thoughtful, and unique setting they provide. Margie has been planning weddings for years and her experience was incredibly helpful for us during the planning process as she asked questions and gave suggestions on things I never would have thought of without her! The Barn at Highpoint Farms offers SO much- first, they are a flower farm as well as a wedding venue. This means that we were able to use fresh cut flowers for our bouquets, table settings, ceremony décor, and got to take pictures in flower gardens that had the same flowers used for our wedding in them. The flowers were stunning, smelled and looked fresh, adding to the ambiance. The arrangements were well thought out and better than I could have imagined. Second, they offer some housing on site! Along with the ceremony space and the barn for the reception, there are two houses and a couple's tree house on site that you can rent for additional spaces to stay. We did a premium package where both houses and the tree house were included in our weekend. GREAT DECISION! This meant that we, plus our wedding party, had somewhere to stay Friday AND Saturday night that was right on site. Everyone commented on how much they loved that they didn't have to commute back and forth from a hotel, and that they got to enjoy the peaceful scenery of the farm all weekend. Plus no one was late or had any mishaps. We loved the venue so much that we had our rehearsal dinner there Friday night plus the wedding ceremony and reception there Saturday. It was so convenient and really reduced stress having everything in one place for the entire weekend. Finally, there is so much to do and see on the farm! It feels like a magical place, and they have done an excellent job of preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the farm. Everywhere you look there is a perfect photo opportunity, from flower gardens to old pickup trucks, to green houses and rustic barn doors. The venue has so much natural character and charm you really don't have to overdress it with décor and fluff which was a cost saver in the end. There are even horses, goats, cats, and dogs you can take pictures with offering unique photo opportunities. The two guest houses are comfy and stunningly decorated, Margie and family really have a great designer's eye, making them beautiful settings for getting ready photos as well as comfy places to stay all weekend. I could go on and on about The Barn at Highpoint Farms, but it'd be a book. Go tour the venue, you won't regret it. I highly recommend, it was the best decision we made in wedding planning.

My son's wedding was held here and it was amazing. From our very first contact until the time we…read moreleft, Margie and Jill (and staff) made sure everything was perfect for us. Very accommodating! The view is stunning but Jill's ability with flowers and greenery was over the top! Everything she created (bouquets, table decor) was so very pretty. The arbor she decorated at the front of the aisle took my breath away and made a beautiful background for the pictures. Our guests loved the baby goats and the bonfire/corn hole area. It just added to the fun and enjoyment. I highly recommend this venue to anyone!l

Words cannot express how my wife and I feel about our wedding planner, Jordan Xu, of Emily Jordan…read moreEvents (formerly Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles). She is the best. We were truly lucky to have found her. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, we were very appreciative and grateful to have Jordan by our side. We relied on her heavily. Her guidance and support made everything about our wedding so much easier. We trusted her fully. We can't recommend Jordan and her team enough. Our wedding was April 15, 2022 at the Atlanta History Center. We first started working with Jordan in July 2018. Yes, we had been planning our wedding for about 3 years 9 months. No, we did not plan it that way. Our original wedding date was May 30, 2020. My wife and I had planned for a roughly two-year engagement and wedding planning period. Then of course, COVID happened. Our wedding was postponed twice: First, to May 7, 2021. Then, to April 15, 2022. Jordan was with us and supported us every step of the way. We went from planning a pre-COVID wedding to a post-COVID wedding. We went from in-person planning sessions to virtual planning sessions. We went from "normal" tastings to masked and socially-distant tastings. (BTW, the tastings - both for the food at the reception and for our wedding cake - were some of my favorite parts of the planning process.) We found Jordan after doing internet searches for Atlanta wedding planners. Jordan was one of multiple planners we contacted. One of the planners we spoke to wasn't a good fit. She recommended Jordan to us. Also, an Atlanta wedding photographer I know put in a good word about Jordan. After meeting with Jordan, my wife and I agreed, Jordan was an excellent fit. We immediately felt comfortable and jived with her. Coincidentally, Jordan and my wife went to the same college for undergrad (Emory) and Jordan and I are from the same part of North Carolina (Piedmont Triad). We've gotten along with Jordan so well that we consider her and her husband our friends. They are just really good people. Jordan is very professional and organized. With her years of experience in the wedding industry, particularly in Atlanta and with our venue and vendors, I knew we were in great hands. In general, my wife was more involved in the planning process with Jordan - she was more particular about certain details than I was. However, I think I was involved at an "above-average" level for a groom. I attended every meeting, but admittedly, tried to stay as hands-off as possible. Jordan was invaluable at securing appointments with the vendors that made the most sense to us based on our budget and preferences. Here were our vendors: * Venue: Swan House, Atlanta History Center * Florist: Unique Floral Expressions * Caterer: Affairs to Remember * Cake: Confection Perfection * DJ and MC: Andy of EuroAndy Events * Ceremony Music: Piedmont Strings * Furniture: EventWorks * Wedding Car: Ramblin' Reck from the Ramblin' Reck Club * Photographer: Leigh Wolfe Photography * Videographer: WedFlix * Bride's Wedding Dress: Sweet Elegance and Gizzelle James Couturiere * Bride and Bridesmaids Hair and Makeup: Scoobie West & Company * Bridesmaids Dresses: Bella Bridesmaids * Groom's Tux: TRIO Custom Clothiers * Groomsmen and Bridesman Tuxes: The Black Tux * Hotel: InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta * Trolley: Georgia Trolley Services * Dance Lessons: Fred Astaire Dance Studio (Durham, NC) * Planning Platform: Aisle Planner * Website, Registry, RSVPs: Zola * Paper Save the Dates and Invitations: Minted * Digital Save the Dates and Address Collection: Paperless Post Going through two years of postponements, we did have a couple vendors change due to life circumstances: (1) Our cake vendor changed from Lush Cakery to Confection Perfection. (2) Our dance studio changed from Daza Dance to Fred Astaire. A few of the vendors, we found ourselves. For example, I already had an existing relationship with TRIO, so I got them to do my custom tux. My wife and I already had our minds set on a Swan House wedding. Jordan made it happen. She and her team, along with many of the vendors we chose, have a lot of experience working together *and* working at the Atlanta History Center. So, for the most part, everything was quite easy. I think the hard part, at least for me as the groom, was decision-making on certain details (e.g. menu) and getting our guest list in order. In addition to securing the vendors that fit us best, Jordan and her team (including Sydney Woods and Gerard Wright) took care of so many details, I can't even begin to tell you; from reviewing and coordinating contracts and payments to little things on our wedding day, such as getting lip balm for my lips that were chapped from so much kissing. Jordan is a consummate professional. Simply put, Jordan exceeded our expectations and executed the wedding of our dreams. Check out our wedding trailer to see exactly what I mean: https://bit.ly/3laAY1h. Thank you, Jordan!

I cannot say enough good things about Wedding Belles. During wedding planning, I had asked my…read moregirlfriends who had recently gotten married themselves for tips and advice on what services they thought were helpful. The unanimous response was "hire a day-of coordinator." My husband and I had already done a lot of the planning so we didn't need a wedding planner but the idea of someone else handling all of the details in the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding sounded like a great idea. Hiring Jordan and Kristen was one of the best decisions we made and some of the best money we spent on the wedding. They were with me all day as I was getting ready, ran interference on the couple of inevitable hiccups that happened with guests and wedding participants, ironed my dress one more time, made sure we ate, and even played chauffeur since the church and reception venue were so close that we hadn't hired outside transportation. Above all, these ladies were calm and professional throughout the entire event. I can't imagine a better team to hire to help with your wedding.

The best decision we made in the planning of my daughter's wedding was bringing on Wendy and her…read moreteam as the "Day Of" wedding planners. It's kind of a misleading name because Wendy and Amber met with us a couple times before the wedding weekend, and were always available via phone or text for questions. They scheduled out everything and made sure we had everything we needed. Wendy ran the rehearsal the day before and gave very clear directions and assured everyone knew where they were supposed to be, at what time. On the day of the wedding, Amber and Alyssa were the backbone of it all!! Instead of me running around, dealing with vendors, directing the wedding party, helping the guys with their boutonnières and bustling my daughter's wedding dress.. they did it all!! They were amazing! Always easy to find and no hesitation to help us solve any problems. The wedding was held at our house, so there were multiple locations on our property where things were happening, but they were like ninjas and always seemed to be exactly where they were needed! They even helped clean up at the end of the night and made sure all of the vendors were taken care of!! I can't recommend this service enough!! Thank you Wendy, Amber, and Alyssa!!

One of the biggest things was my oldest's high school graduation party. All I knew is that I wanted to have this at our house and a 150+ people were coming. I called Wendy to come in and help me put my ideas together and get the ball rolling. After our first meeting, I had a huge weight off my shoulders knowing we had a plan and things were already set in place. The setting up of the graduation party was very easy and not stressful at all. Because of Wendy and Wendy's Wedding & Events we were able to sit back, relax and enjoy the graduation party ourselves. Wendy was there the whole time to make sure everything went smoothly. Thank you Wendy for making it where Richard and I could relax, enjoy and most of all, this was a day Victoria will never forget. I will be using Wendy and Wendy's Wedding & Events for all our future events.

I booked Marina as my wedding event and design coordinator for my wedding. I had seen many events…read morethat she had executed flawlessly so I knew that I wanted to have her special touch make my vision come true. At our initial meeting I pulled in to her cottage with plenty of parking in the rear and when I walked in, it was like a fairytale inside. She had tables, seating, columns and chandeliers already set up so you could see samples of her work. She also had invitations, faux cakes and photos from her suggested vendors as well. I knew immediately she was the woman for the job. She offered me a drink and we sat down. She noticed I was pregnant and made me feel so comfortable. I told her with being pregnant I didn't want the stress of planning the wedding to affect me or my baby. She assured me that she would make my wedding day the most memorable, beautiful day ever. Marina showed me tons of ideas and she also listened to mine she helped me decide on exactly what I was looking for. She walked me through several decor ideas and helped me find the perfect venue. She said she would get everything started as far as the venue and decor planning right away and we scheduled our next meeting. We only needed to meet very few times throughout the planning process because Marina is a veteran at this game, she knows decor, venues and vendors so she can basically make anything happen if you just let her know your needs. On the days leading up to my wedding I was calm and comfortable that she would be able to execute all of my details. I was able to incorporate all of the ideas I had but in a very beautiful way. The day of my wedding was absolutely magical from the moment I walked in my bridesmaids and I were taken to the bridal suite and given the most beautiful hand made bouquets to walk down the aisle with. She had everything all set up in the bridal suite to make my fiends and family so comfortable. She interacted so well with my family, they loved her. She was very organized on the day of and managed the time line perfectly. The wedding started right on time and my guests didn't have to wait at all. When I walked down the aisle I was absolutely captivated by how magical and beautiful everything looked. I couldn't believe I was actually living out my dream wedding. She did things with my initial vision that I could have only imagined. The ceremony was beautiful but the reception was even more amazing. The place settings, chairs and center pieces were to die for. Everything had so much detail all the way down to the floor. She really knows how to pull it all together. She made sure all the vendors were on time and on point I honestly didn't worry about any of the details on the day of. She made sure to include all of the special moments so mentioned and took good care of my family throughout the night. If you're looking to have your dream wedding no matter the ideas you may have she can make it happen. If you're worried about the planning details like hotel, venue, cake and who will be your officiant or even your caterer, Marina and her team walk you through the entire process without worry. You can be yourself and she doesn't dismiss your vision. She is a pleasure to work with an she loves family. Check out my pictures below and feel free to contact me with any questions about my wedding experience with Marina events and design studio. I won't be getting married again anytime soon but any other events or friends that need a referral will all be sent to Marina. Thanks again Marina you're family now and we love you and your amazing team!

I still cannot believe how beautiful our wedding was. She really did an amazing job and I cannot recommend her enough. Also, she offers floral services and her prices are extremely reasonable which is unlike many other decorators.

After speaking several times, Sandy confirmed that she took all ideas into consideration and would have the winter wonderland baby shower completed per our vision. The day before the baby shower, Sandy sent an invoice for double the budget. This was not communicated prior to. Sandy also used most of the budget for chairs, plastic ware, and tables and no decor. When we arrived the day of the event, Sandy was late setting up. She didn't finish until two hours after the event started. She also had our family and friends helping her complete the set up which made the shower start so late. She did not have a staff to help her as she stated. She also had someone bring the center pieces two hours late and placed them down as guests were eating. We had to pay the dj for an extra hour and request that Sandy extend the space rental due to her late set up. The baby shower only had balloon garland chairs and tables. Sandy did not incorporate any of our ideas and the baby shower was not winter wonderland. This was a not what I expected or reflected the budget spent on it.
