Stephanie (and Cara) were always so helpful with the entire planning and organization, despite us having to do so while living in the U.S. They are so accommodating and flexible. Stephanie took care of vendor communication behind the scenes seamlessly and efficiently, and the actual wedding itself ended up being absolutely perfect because of her organization and suggestions. Being able to utilize the house and grounds for each part of the wedding was so special. It is a beautiful, unique venue that allowed us to create something bespoke for our wants. I can't recommend Birdsall House enough! I only wish we were able to spend even more time there!
