anything they’d ever attended” due
to the uniqueness of the venue and
experience.
Despite all the work that planning
a wedding entails, the bride
remembers that “all the pieces
fell together.” This was due in
part to the comparative ease and
many advantages involved with
coordinating all the various aspects
of a wedding at the Buskirk. For
instance, one advantage was the
ability to use a spacious dressing
room and get ready at the same
location as the wedding venue. The
Buskirk also comes equipped with
world class sound technology, so
the live musicians were able to do
their sound check easily. Finally, as
a young couple, they didn’t have to
worry too much about the cost of
the wedding, as the Buskirk let them
pay in increments. The benefits also
go beyond the material. Throughout
the process, Kate-Lyn felt “heard” as
an individual. Guests also reported
that the wedding was “unlike Though the Buskirk has no
designated wedding planner,
the collaborative team is able to
implement: “the amazing array of
things personal to the couple,”
according to associate director
Rebecca Stanze, thus bringing their
vision to life. This vision varies from
very traditional, to individualized and
unique. For instance, Stanze recalls
a wedding that included a family
talent show that took place on the
Buskirk stage. According to Stanze,
the Buskirk’s responsibility is to
figure out what can be feasibly done
with the venue’s resources or the
bride and groom’s additional team.
Once this hurdle is surmounted, the
team is in for the most rewarding
aspect: “seeing it through the
planning process” and utilizing the
historical and unique space to watch
the beautiful stories unfold. wg
