New Town Event Planning

We've photographed weddings for over 14 years and besides being a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding, the staff are amazing to work with and do an awesome job taking care of our couples!

Great source of information. Lots of events (weekly) during warmer weather.

Very beautiful community. Attended a wedding at the Chapel which was very nice as well. New homes looked like something in new Orleans.

Our review is mixed. The chapel is gorgeous, the event tent is pretty with the overhead lights, and the surrounding area has great places for pictures. Frenchtown Catering (Steve) is fantastic. We chose their chicken parmesan and pork tenderloin and both were awesome! Big Red Event Company (Julie) for linens is very helpful; highly recommend using their backdrop behind the head table to cover up the exit sign. This is a venue where you need to be prepared to contract out everything yourself. Nothing is provided beyond use of the chapel (2.5-hour increments) and the event tent (empty - you contract out all tables, linens, china, etc). Their wedding coordinators Jessica and Hannah, while nice, are very difficult to reach and do not respond to all their emails. They answered a lot of questions for us on our initial tour and again on our walk through with our own wedding coordinator. However, after that, they basically just unlocked the doors for us. They were in charge of the music at the ceremony, but Hannah did not even come out of the office for the rehearsal. We had to run through the music right before the wedding. Had we not hired our own wedding coordinator (Chloe and Company), we would have been totally stressed out. They are also very strict about time. We had a 4:30 pm wedding which meant we got the chapel from 3 5:30. To get into the chapel any earlier to decorate or for photos, we had to pay extra. Since it rained on us, we are glad we paid for extra time as we had to do early photos in the chapel. There is also no good area for the wedding party to hang out during photos. We were able to rent the Town Hall to use as our hangout place. Also, there is no place on site for the wedding party to get ready which is a drawback. Our bride got ready at home and then had to travel in the rain to the chapel. The small bridal room in the chapel was hot and stuffy even though they had a fan in there. This room is extremely tiny and can only fit a few girls. The reception tent was very cool, but when we arrived the temp in the bathrooms was set to 85 so we had to turn it down. Recommend bringing decorations for the bathrooms, nicer soaps, etc. They have vanities with 3 sinks in each. Because there was a wedding at the venue the day before ours, we could not decorate the event tent until 11am the day of the wedding. This necessitated us hiring a wedding coordinator to help us since we would all be getting ready and dealing with photos. With it raining hard the morning of our wedding, water was standing 6 feet into the event tent. If the rain hadnt stopped, we were really worried about guests walking from the chapel to the reception and then coming into the wet floors. We rented a golf cart from Gateway Golf Carts to take older guests, etc. from the chapel to the reception. It worked out great. We ended up with a lovely wedding and our reception was so much fun (also thanks to a great job from DJ Jay at Complete Weddings and Events). Everyone loved the food and thought it was beautiful. So, takeaway message is to be prepared for doing a lot of work on your own if you select this venue, hire your own wedding coordinator, and pay for extra time in the chapel since you cannot plan on the weather cooperating.
