The Weather Was Frightful but the Weddings Were Delightful!

It’s not very often we in Georgia get snow during the winter months. It’s also not often that we get to experience snow, and ice on the same weekend we have two weddings booked!

The State of Georgia was declared in a State of Emergency but did that mean we at The Wheeler House were too? We couldn’t possibly think of cancelling or postponing our weddings on Saturday, January 7^th and Sunday, January 8^th. We have committed to these brides and it was our job to do the best job we possibly could! 

On Saturday morning our owner picked up our day of coordinator for that wedding, while one of his generous family members went and picked up our staff. We had our staff arrive and begin salting our brick cobblestone pathway around the property. While some of the workers salted the entire property, the others were shoveling the snow and clearing the way for when the guests and bridal party arrived.

For both of the weddings that weekend we were so fortunate that all of the vendors coming were able to arrive safely and were able to deliver their requested services as promised!

While cleaning up the venue Saturday night and setting up for the next day, the roads re-froze and were too dangerous for the staff to travel home on! Our staff ended up spending the night at The Wheeler House so they could help us the next day! They were such troopers to work back to back for us in our desperate time of need and we are forever thankful for them.

After another night of temperatures below freezing we had one more celebration to pull off! Again, our owner went and picked up our day of coordinator and we began to prep for that day’s outdoor wedding! Might we add the photos were simply gorgeous! We had amazing turnouts for both weddings and were so ecstatic that our brides were the first brides in the history of The Wheeler House to have a beautiful snow setting as the background for their wedding photos.

We wish you guys all the best and we were so fortunate to have your special day with us!
