We are busy bees over here at M.E.D. Amanda and Jason's big day is in two days, nine hours, and 16 minutes, so it is crunch time!
Wedding week is always so much fun. It's insanely busy, but the excitement and anticipation keeps us going. So does Starbucks. Kiersten, M.E.D.'s new intern, has been simply fabulous this week. I am so thankful for her!
For today's Wedding Wednesday post, I figured I would chat with you about this weekend's venue - Mission San Luis. This is one of my favorite venues in Tallahassee. There is so much history packed into this place, and the grounds are beautiful. Want a wedding outside? There's plenty of green space with beautiful surroundings. Want your wedding inside? The banquet hall is gorg. One of my favorite parts about the banquet hall are the soaring ceilings with wood beams. And I can't wait to get this courtyard all gussied up for Saturday's cocktail hour!
Here's a little history lesson on MSL:
visit to Mission San Luis transports you back in time. Your destination is a community where Apalachee Indians and newcomers from Spain live in close proximity drawn together by religion as well as military and economic purpose.
Modern day visitors to Mission San Luis discover a re-created community where time stands still. There they meet the people of San Luis going about the tasks that sustained life centuries ago. They walk the plaza where the Apalachees played their traditional ball games. They visit the most important structure in the Apalachee village, the council house, and also stop at the home of the Spanish Deputy Governor. Visitors are welcomed at the church built under the supervision of Franciscans, and at the friary where they lived. Mission San Luis is a very special place where history comes to life.
Inside the visitor center you will experience artifacts and art in many forms.
