Description
Saunders Farm has been hosting weddings for the past 16 years. That happened upon offering weddings by chance - an employee asked if they could get married at the farm. The Farm hosted 12 weddings this past season and already have bookings for 16 for the summer of 2012. Angela Grant Saunders will share the ins and outs, ups and downs of offering full service weddings at your farm: creating relationships with vendors, working with brides (and the dreaded MOTB - Mother of the Bride!), marketing your weddings, setting prices and policies, creating menus, finding and training amazing banquet staff.
