Barkley Proposal!

I met Christian a couple of weeks ago when I was touring his sister. Not long into the tour Christian began to ask questions about the venue. When we sat down to go over the tour packet it soon began to be a meeting with Christian! He had many questions and I could tell he was thinking about something. Shortly after they left, I reached out to Christian to let him know we could do a proposal for him. A week later he was back in the office booking a proposal package with us and their wedding! He was so excited to surprise Savannah with not only an engagement but also with their wedding venue. The next couple of weeks we started planning what Christian wanted to do and how he was going to do it. Of course, the weather completely changed our plans, but it turned out more beautiful than before.
We moved the proposal into the Chapel and started to redesign. We had signs around the stage, rose petals covering the floor, marry me marquees, and of course, lanterns to make it romantic. All of Savannah's and Christian's families showed up for the big surprise. Christian told Savannah they were going to a surprise Valentine's day brunch and she needed to be blindfolded. Their families sat quietly in the pews while Christian led her into the Chapel. He got her onto the stage, got down on one knee, and told her to take her blindfold off. Savannah was so surprised she most definitely did not see it coming! She said yes OF COURSE! It was such a fun and unique moment, Christian did a great job of surprising her.
After they were done taking photos they headed up to the Great Room for an engagement party. They enjoyed a warm brunch from Pj's catering and spent the time celebrating the engagement with friends and family. We are so excited to get them down the aisle in October of 2022! We are very blessed to be apart of these special moments. This is the 3rd proposal I have had the privilege to be apart of at Eberely Brooks. It's always so fun to see the beginning of forever for people!!
