Looking for guest seating chart inspiration? 💡 Take a page from Ryan & Christian's book & use your favorite vinyl records to display guests names & table numbers 💿

If you need some ideas, try including:

-> You & your partners favorite albums
-> The album of the first song you danced to
-> An album that remind you of a special moment, like a road trip or vacation
-> Some of your family and friend's favorite albums

You can even incorporate themes throughout the seating chart - such as a Pop section, Country section, Rock section, etc. or even a color-coded album seating chart.

Your seating chart is an easy way to showcase you & your partner's personality by making it unique to you 🤍

What would your seating chart be? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

Dogs + Weddings = 😍

As a pet-friendly wedding & event venue, we love when your four-legged friend is included in your big day - even if only in the form on a signature cocktail, like Theo the cat from Ryan & Christian's wedding (Ollie got to attend in-person, though 🐾 )

Will (or was) your furry friend a part of your wedding? 🐕

PS - If you're on the hunt for a dog-friendly wedding venue, schedule a tour at Mill Pond Estate! We're currently booking for Fall/Winter 2025 ✨

One of our favorite parts of Sarah & Brock's wedding was how they utilized the greenhouse in the Flower Garden by creating "PaPa's Potting Shed" 🪴

Used as their seating chart, PaPa's Potting Shed pays homage to Brock's late grandfather (fun fact, Sarah & Brock met through his late grandfather 🤍). The couple displayed guest names & table numbers on plant pots surrounded by images of family members mimicking a garden 🌻

Tip: Opt for a couple large tables rather than smaller individual tables at your reception ✨ Guests are able to dine family-style in a more intimate, casual setting - plus, it leaves more room for dancing 😉

Jenna & Sullivan chose a centerpiece with lots of lush greenery with roses peppered throughout. Terracota linens added an element of earthiness & paired well with the greenery 🧡
