I think I need a weekend to recover from our weekend! 😂
Thursday started with wedding setup in the rain. Thankfully, our wedding family was absolutely amazing, flexible, and never once panicked. Their attitude and trust meant more to us than they probably realize. We are SO grateful for people like them! ❤️
Friday was wedding day, and Mother Nature kept us on our toes with morning showers. But just when we needed it, the skies cleared, the sun came out, and we got to witness a beautiful ceremony. ☀️💍
Saturday? No time to catch our breath! One wedding family checked out, we turned everything around, and our next small wedding family moved in for their afternoon Wedding in the Woods. 🌲✨
Meanwhile, our regular weekend guests were arriving for check-in, Sunday checkouts were on the horizon, and we were getting ready for a very special proposal in the woods! 🥹💍❤️
Three days. Two weddings. A proposal. Regular guest arrivals and departures. Countless details, moving pieces, and memories being made all at once!
I’m not going to lie… we are EXHAUSTED from trying to keep every detail straight and make sure everything stays on track. 😂 There were a lot of moving parts, a lot of running around, and probably a few moments when we wondered what day it actually was!
But we couldn’t do it without our amazing team! A HUGE shoutout to our incredible bartenders, Amanda and Rian, our guest experience host, Nikki and our reliable cleaning team That Glassey Finish and Sara! ❤️ Thank you for all the help, hard work, and support along the way. Having people who jump in, step up, and help make all the pieces come together is something we never take for granted. We appreciate you more than you know!
But then we stop and think about what we got to be a part of this weekend. ❤️
Two couples beginning a new chapter. A question that will be remembered forever. Families celebrating love. Guests making memories of their own. All happening here, in our little slice of Wisconsin Dells.
And THAT is why we do what we do. 🤍
It’s the wonderful people, the amazing guests, the flexibility when things don’t go as planned, and the unforgettable moments that make every bit of the hard work worth it.
We may need a nap (or three 😴), but our hearts are full!
Thank you to everyone who trusted us with such special moments this weekend. We are honored that you chose Sandstone Rustic Retreat to be part of your stories. 🥰
Exhausting? Absolutely.
Rewarding? Beyond words.
Would we do it all again? You bet! ❤️🌲💍
