Ithaca has some amazing businesses, and some I love working with, and always recommend. If you are planning a destination wedding, and are not familiar with local options, or not sure who to pick, here are some highly recommended suggestions-

Flowers
Flowers is more than just beauty, it is part of the look and feel of the table settings.
Phoebe Van Vleet offers unique, vibrant, ecologically grown fresh cut flowers from Lodi, NY. I love her wedding arrangements and she is a delight to work with!
Getting married out of the flower season, or looking for something specific, look at Be My Rose. Valentina imports farm-fresh & sustainable flowers, directly to you from the flower growers in Ecuador. For more info: http://www.bemyrose.com

Wedding Planner
Planning a destination wedding? Why not have a local planner making sure everything will be coordinated and perfect for you and your guest to come celebrate with you. From venue booking, to hotels, transportation, to fun things to do in the Finger Lakes, and of course the full Day-of or Wedding Weekend.

Event insurance might not be the first thing you think about when planning your wedding, or event, but I find it important and gives you peace of mind.
