We Have A Winner!

Since we really were mostly interested in the Bistro in Rocheport, and maybe the Melting Pot (& a ceremony location) in KC for our wedding/reception, we just went to Hermann today because this place I'd heard about at the wedding show looked interesting. But not really thinking it would be our first choice. We started by having lunch at Stone Hill Winery, and left there convinced that it would be a good spot, and I planned to call their coordinator on Monday. But, then we went to Hermann Hill, which was basically built for weddings, and met with their coordinator. I almost teared up in the chapel, because I thought it was so beautiful and perfect. She kept describing all that they did as part of their package, and showing us around all of the areas, and it just kept getting better and better. This picture I took in the chapel does not do it justice. Neither do their web sites http://www.hermannmoweddings.com/album.htm http://www.hermannmoweddings.com/album.htm , but here they are anyway. They really go the extra mile to make it special, and compared to the prices we've seen in St. Louis, they do it for a lot less money. And the rooms in the cottages blew us away! We may stay a few days. We decided to go with it almost immediately, but talked about it all the way home first. I am going to call back tomorrow to check on the date we want, then give them our deposit! One of the things that is really nice, is that they have a wedding coordinator working with you, so there is so little that we will have to do, other than make a few decisions. And sample cake.
