“Hummingbird Hollow deserves every star for their incredible venue and hospitality!! Obsessed is an understatement -- I LOVED having our wedding here!! This venue and the owners are absolutely AMAZING! I loved working with Pam and Michael from Day 1. They were so quick to get back to me about availability when I inquired about their venue -- and they even personally called me to set up a time to check it out that very weekend while my mom was in town from out of state! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and as soon as we stepped on site, my Mom and I knew it was the perfect place for the wedding! Pam instantly understood my vision for the day and was quick to recommend local vendors which was SO incredibly helpful as I am not local to the area! All the vendors Pam recommended were absolutely wonderful!! And Pam was the most incredible chef!! I loved working with her both on the menu and the vision for the day! Having so many family members on both sides come in from out of town, I absolutely LOVED that we were able to host a welcome party on site the night before our wedding which Pam helped us come up with an incredible Menu of Greek food for as a nod to our honeymoon destination! It was so fun getting to spend even more time on such an incredible property with our loved ones. I had also told Pam how important it was to me to get to spend some time with my bridesmaids before the wedding, so I loved being able to stay at the venue the night before the wedding with my gals! It really eased the stress of the weekend to already be onsite and with my sweet friends at such a gorgeous and peaceful place. The wedding was everything I ever dreamed and the Wedding Walk was the perfect spot for our dreamy ceremony. Everything about our weekend at Hummingbird Hollow was perfect and working with Pam and Michael was an absolute joy!! I could not recommend this place enough!! Everything went so smoothly and was so stress free! If you love florals and greenery, this is THE PLACE for you!!! _______ Looking back at this experience, almost a year later, I still dream of this gorgeous, whimsical hideaway! Hummingbird Hollow is the most serene and stunning venue -- I could not be more glad to have found this absolute gem of a venue!”
