Favorite Moments
Couple’s favorite moment of the day - Our favorite moment was the dance we did with our kids
Most memorable detail - The knot tying Ceremony. Also the MOH speech. She killed it.
Guest reactions or standout moments - We got a lot of feed back about the food and bar from Jefferson street BBQ from guest. They did not disappoint.
Advice & Reflections
Best advice for future couples - Walnut grove in the later afternoon/evening provided a lot of shade. Sunset photos at the Legacy Barn are a must. It took me awhile to decide on Videographer, we hired Ahmad last minute and it was the best decision. We have a 4.5 minute video of our special day and it is our greatest treasure along with our photos.
One thing that made the day feel “perfect” - The weather. The nature scenery. The open doors on the barn. The Walnut Grove ceremony location was absolutely beautiful
What they loved most about the venue - The Walnut grove. The gravel lanes for pictures with trees and Legacy house in the background.
