A Little Truth From GreyStone Weddings…
Most couples don’t realize this, so here’s a little behind-the-scenes honesty:
When you reach out to a wedding venue, there’s a tremendous amount of time that goes into helping you explore your options.
From answering questions, breaking down packages, reviewing dates, customizing quotes, and walking you through your vision,.none of that is paid time.
We don’t get compensated for inquiries, emails, planning conversations, venue tours, or preparing detailed proposals.
We only earn anything when you choose GreyStone Weddings as your venue.
So when someone comes to me for…
✨ package comparisons and pricing
✨ date availability for multiple seasons
✨ customized quotes based on vision & guest count
✨ detailed planning conversations
✨ a full venue tour explaining every option
…and then chooses a different venue without a word?
That means we worked for free.
If you choose to explore GreyStone Weddings, here’s how you can best support a small, family-owned business:
✨ Communicate openly about what you’re looking for.
Do you want an all-inclusive experience? The lowest price? Outdoor garden ceremony? A ballroom reception? Tell me your priorities and I’ll guide you honestly.
✨ If you are touring multiple venues, we understand, just keep us in the loop.
Couples shop around, and that’s completely normal.
What helps us is transparency, so we can guide you accurately rather than guessing what you’re comparing us to.
✨ If your budget or date changes, just let me know.
I can almost always adjust. but only if I know what you truly need.
✨ Please don’t ghost after receiving detailed quotes or touring.
We pour time, heart, and expertise into every couple we talk to.
A simple, “We’ve decided to go a different direction,” is deeply appreciated and helps us serve other couples better.
Small businesses feel every bit of your support, your honesty and communication truly matter. 💛
To every couple who walks through our doors or reaches out to learn more…
You are the reason my family and I show up with our whole hearts every single day.
It’s an honor to be part of your wedding journey, even if just for a moment. 💕
