Reviews of The Wayfarer
Review summary
The Wayfarer wedding venue is described as magical, with a luxurious and whimsical setting including a picturesque canopy of trees, string lights, and a beautiful long dinner table. The property itself offers a dynamic yet intimate progression throughout the wedding day. Reviewers praised the exceptional service provided by Kelly and her team, who were commended for their attention to detail, communication, flexibility, and seamless coordination. Additionally, Erica's floral arrangements were highly acclaimed, adding to the overall romantic and elegant garden party vibe of the venue.
The perfect day
The perfection of the property aside, Kelly and her team were fantastic to work with. Kelly gets down to business, has EVERY detail covered, and kept the day flowing seamlessly. They offer a full suite of rentals, some of which we used and some that we did not (because I had a very specific vision). Kelly let us bring in our own decor items but we could have easily worked with her to rent everything from glassware and plate ware to doing floral design. I did love that the venue rental fee included seating for the welcome hour, the cocktail hour, the dinner tables and chairs.
I honestly couldn't think of one thing that I would change, we would choose The Wayfarer and Kelly's team over and over again if we had the chance.
Could not have asked for a better venue!
On the day of they were life savers! They made sure everything went according to plan, even after another vendor ( not one they had recommended) had messed up they worked to make sure that I still had everything I wanted that day. The indoor barn area is gorgeous and intimate and the dinner table under the canopy of trees was beyond beautiful. I am SO happy I chose the Wayfarer to have my wedding. I chose not to have my florals done at the wayfarer because I had already hired one before I found the venue and I will say that I wish I had used Kelly and Erica for the florals so if you have the chance to definitely use them! Lion their bartender was a hit! Many guests commented after the fact on how friendly and social he was.
Thank you so much Kelly and Erica our day would not have been the same without you!
A magical venue
From being surrounded by trees to dancing under the string lights at night and the gorgeous long table they set, the venue is nothing short of a luxurious and whimsical experience. It felt like an upscale Alice in Wonderland moment. Kelly and her team are outstanding. They help you with everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Unloading your car, filling up your petal cones, organizing all of the welcome drinks, setting up the timeline. My head is stuck in the moments they executed perfectly. THE FLOWERS!!!, Erica is a magician I think. Her floral arrangements at our dinner table, to all the other little floral arrangements around the venue, on our welcome sign and my bouquet were to die for. I can’t tell you how many compliments we received on the venue itself and the flowers. This goes to show this team is beyond outstanding at what they do. They are also great at calming down the bride and groom. They know how it works and how high emotions can run that day. They are more than just a team who creates a gorgeous wedding venue. They’re like your sisters. They are the dream team. Helping with every single detail down to the place settings. Being under a canopy of trees and lights was magical. My husband and I still talk about how we want to go back to that night and do it all over again. Kelly’s team is what you need and what you want. We love the Wayfarer.
