Wedding Fair!

Thank you to all who came out to see our booth and registered for prizes! Lisa Patterson and Jennifer Wooten took home $25 and $100 gift cards from Kendall Plantation! Congrats girls!

The wedding fair was a great success and we were excited to introduce Kendall Plantation to hundreds of possible KP brides! Jeremy and I get to see all the vendors "behind the scenes" building their booths and getting ready for brides to visit them. We did a lot of networking before and after the show to get our name out there and build relationships with vendors that we like! As you know we do not have any exclusive relationships with any vendors, so you can tailor your wedding to how YOU want it! The purpose of meeting other vendors is to protect my brides and make sure they are who they say they are! I was especially impressed with HEB Blooms...their arrangements are stunning! I was also impressed with Heavenly Gourmet who was very professional and kind. Some times these wedding fairs can feel a bit overwhelming when they are all bombarding you handing you literature left and right, but they are informational. I tell my brides to do some research before they go and make a list of who they want to visit that way you have a clear goal in mind and don't make unnecessary stops!

Did any of you get to see the photo booths? I am really excited about those, what a great way to keep guest entertained at a wedding, and a great way for 'real life' photos! I will have a construction update this afternoon, with more pictures. I am excited the way things are going and can't wait for that slab! Keep in touch, Cheers!

The Great Wall!

Hello again!

So, the retaining wall is HUGE! I get chills when I stand on top of it and see the view. It is so incredible and really does justice to the true Hill Country. Plumbing rough is on its way, and beams will be in this week to lay down and get drilled into the ground. They rolled and packed base material all day yesterday getting the ground ready for the slab! As you know, this is the longest part of the construction process, after this is done, the framers are here 7 days a week working hard to get the building UP! Once the frame is up, all sub contractors will be working together in the building to get everything done at one time. We got great feed back from an aqua-scape's company to re-do the existing pond and add a fountain. It is going to be stunning! I have another appointment with the landscape architect this afternoon to go over some of the details and make sure what we want will be here! Keep in touch, I will post more pictures tomorrow! Cheers, Kristin

Retaining Wall

Today has been a great construction day! Things got started very early around 6:30 am. The concrete guys are moving quickly! I checked on the progress around 2:00. I will be out there again around 5:30 to meet the aqua-scape's company to design the pond. I will take more pictures then so there won't be any workers out there and I can get up close and personal :) Before you know it there will be a building....I know my September and October brides are laughing right now, but I promise....it will be done!!!!! Good thing is, it doesn't seem like we have rain coming any time soon, and the contractors are working 6 days a week! Check back soon. Cheers!

Construction Update!

Hello fellow followers! For all my brides and grooms who have been out to see the progress of the Plantation, you have seen that the site work is complete at this point, meaning all the clearing, parking and slab preparations are complete. The concrete contractors are on the move now! They are smoothing out all the bumps and grooves getting ready for the plumbing rough! Tomorrow I will be working with the electric company getting all the finals put together so we can power this baby up! All the lighting selections have been made and ordered! Flooring decisions will be made by weeks end. We know we are going with wood floors...not sure what color or size yet...but I will definitely share this exciting news when we know! Kendall Plantation is new to the 'blogging' thing, so work with us as we launch this site! We will post new pictures and updates often!
