Wow. I cannot say enough about how magical this property is and wonderful it was to work with Christina. Before even getting engaged, I had my eye on Christina's property as the perfect place for a small, intimate wedding. After my (now) husband popped the question in February 2021, we came to tour the property the next week. From the start I knew the views, the nature, and the comfortable, well decorated home would be perfect-- but what I didn't expect was that our host, Christina, would be with us every step of the way-- helping us plan and answering questions.
Because the property had hosted weddings before, Christina handled communications with our tent/equipment rental company the week of the wedding, which was a huge relief, and when we arrived at the property we found a incredibly sweet note and bottle of champagne waiting for us.
My husband and I booked the home for a long weekend-- allowing us and our guests to make use of the pool, the hot tub, the canoes and kayaks (an absolute must!!), and fishing off the dock. It provided the perfect oasis for all the people we love to catch up, relax, and celebrate our wedding.
For the actual ceremony, several of our guests took ubers to the property. One thing I loved is that the uber drivers were equally as blown away by the views of the Mississippi and the beauty of the space. Several uber drivers parked and got out to take pictures of the river and admire the birds and boats cruising down the river.
Our ceremony was down on the peninsula, overlooking the river-- the perfect spot. Afterwards, wedding guests played bean bag toss and mingled on the large patio. Right after dinner we had the most beautiful sunset over the river, and then after dark, someone across the river lit off fireworks that we pretended were just for us!
All and all it was more than I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you Christina for finding the perfect property and making it welcoming and magical for our weekend.
