Or, exchange your vows under an oak tree in a picture-perfect meadow, then dance into the night under a Garden Tent with a stone paver floor and chandeliers. Wedding consultants will help you plan everything from your seating arrangements to your creative buffet or sit-down menu. A vendor list includes florists, photographers – and horse-drawn carriages.
