Our new hair/make-up room

April 19, 2018 By Karen

Wedding Venue Upgrade

NEW hair/make-up room– COMING SOON!

Here at White City Weddings and Events we are always working to improve. Our latest project is upgrading the hair and make-up room inside the 7000 sq ft lodge.

WHY THE HAIR/MAKE-UP ROOM?

White City Weddings has the gentlemen en-captured in their surroundings boasting the game room, theater room, and deer farm. The bride has her very own space for her and her bridesmaids to get pampered by our hair and make-up artists. It’s important for us to continue to invest back into our venue to make your wedding day as special as possible.

GAME CHANGER

We are a full service venue and destination wedding site and we strive to make your day as stress free as possible. Our upgraded hair/make-up room will make you feel like the star that you are on your big day. The adult sleepover is a blast! The bridal party stays the night before your wedding! Our 5 bedroom lodge with 11 beds sleeps up to 22 guests, optional. Wake up, have coffee and breakfast, and the hair/make-up artist show up (the number of stylists coming are determined by the number of clients) and get started. We welcome Mom and Mother-in-law to be included because they want to be pampered too. Therefore, no need to worry about anyone being late or coming out with bright red lipstick and blue eye shadow!

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Please share your thoughts with us for any ideas you have on how we can improve. Check us out on our Facebook page (link below), you can send us a personal message there to let us know what you would like to see next. Be looking out for photos to follow!!!

Preferred Wedding Officiant – Alabama Outdoor Destination Weddings

February 19, 2016 By Karen

Weddings By Joseph is the choice officiant of White City Weddings. Owner Joseph Person, wedding officiant since 2009, stood heads above the rest the first time we saw him perform a ceremony. His voice carries well, he is a loud crisp speaker, and his level of communication is top notch. This was important to us at White City Weddings where we know communication is key. Yes, we have a lapel microphone we normally use. However, when the wind is up you need someone who can carry their voice. We know you want your guests to actually hear your ceremony!

Check out more on his Facebook Page: Weddings By Joseph

Outstanding Customer Service

Joseph is always prompt, on time or early. He is also quick to respond to email and correspondence. Brides have tested his patience with last minute details and changes; Joseph has always risen to the occasion. Joseph writes a custom ceremony for each wedding and often incorporates key components that are individual to the couple, if you wish. His pre wedding questionnaire is certain to help you with the details. His passion for weddings is clearly evident.

Joseph’s personal message to you, “Together we will create a personal and memorable wedding ceremony, including vows, readings, rituals etc to meet your needs. I will officiate at your ceremony and file your marriage license if need be.”

Testimony

Joe rocks!! He helped us every step of the way. He was able to customize our ceremony exactly the way we wanted to include our children and grandchild! At the last minute because of the rain, we had to go to plan B. Joe was very accommodating and supportive. I would highly recommend Weddings by Joseph to anyone in need of a caring wedding officiant!! – Mrs. Dawn Walters, married 2015

I’m sure you can now see why Joseph is our top pick. One of the biggest mistakes we see is the bride and groom getting a friend or relative they like get ordained to perform their ceremony. We highly advise against this. Most people are not naturally comfortable speaking in front of 100 people. They are also not familiar with dealing with the stress, last minute changes, and experience to correct quickly if something goes wrong at your wedding. Your vows are ultimately the entire reason we are all gathered together. Please heed our advice and contact Joseph to make your ceremony great!

Alabama Destination Wedding Photographer Our preferred wedding photographer here at White City Weddings and Events is Photos By Moe for several reasons. Morgan, the owner, fits the mold of what we expect from our vendors. Morgan loves photographing weddings and you truly can tell she is here to make the bride and groom’s day the best possible. She is always willing to help- no matter what that may consist of. If you need your hair pinned back, a glass of water, or someone to find the rings – you can trust she is on it!

Close Attention to Every Detail

Morgan pays extremely close attention to detail, in each and every wedding, no matter the size. From the very first time you meet her, until you view your images; she is always going to serve you with unsurpassed customer service. Photos by Moe is extremely organized and has continued, up-to-date information, for every detail of your wedding day…. Especially keeping you on task according to your timeline. Morgan does much more than wedding photography, she helps keep your big day running smoothly.

Morgan takes time to sit down with each bride and groom and list in great detail everything you want. Who doesn’t love a list?! You can refer back to it when your mother-in-law wants to make sure you have scheduled a picture with Aunt Jackie, whom you’ve never met and you are pretty sure you have forgotten.

There is no one I would have rather had to capture such a special day!! I would recommend Morgan to anyone!! Thanks Photos by Moe for being so awesome!! – Mrs. Courtney Jones, married WCWE September 2015

Morgan is a full service wedding photographer that works with you from the beginning of your engagement session (when you don’t know what to wear) to the end of your viewing session (when you are choosing a canvas to go above your bed). She will walk you through every step, which is what sets her apart from the rest. You don’t just meet her for the first time on your wedding day. She becomes your friend, a confidant, throughout the entire process of planning your wedding.

Morgan prides herself in creating timeless and clean portraits that will still be treasures when you are 65, showing off your album to your grandchildren. She believes strongly in the value of a printed image and knows you will treasure this for a lifetime. Photos by Moe, specifically Morgan, has been a Godsend to White City Weddings. She upholds the professionalism, values, and work ethic that make her a valuable part of our team. We could not be prouder to introduce to you our preferred Wedding Photographer!
