We Found the Venue!

It's official! There's no backing down now! ;) We have booked our venue and our wedding date is set in stone. Allow me to introduce our amazing venue! The beautiful Hartley Botanica Nursery and Gardens. This is a family owned and operated nursery and garden facility. I'm told that they started out as just a nursery but then there was so much interest from couples to hold their weddings on-site that they decided that they should expand their horizons. It's an absolutely fantastic space with some absolutely gorgeous gardens. When we were hunting for a venue, I was looking for a place that has a lot of already present beauty. While I want to decorate and bring in our style, I also don't want to have to start with a totally clean slate. 

Another great feature of this venue is that we're going to have the whole place to ourselves. This isn't one of those places where there will be ten different events going on at the same time and we won't have to compete for space. All guests will have the freedom to explore the grounds at their leisure. This is also a great feature for photo opportunities and such things.

In a couple months, Chris and I will make another trip down to LA to nail down details and the menu. So exciting!

In the next couple of months Chris and I are doing a photo shoot so we can get our "Save the Date" cards in the mail!
