A Proper Welcome
Hello, and welcome to To Have and To Grow, Stone Garden’s new blog! Being such a multifaceted company, we wanted to give you a resource that allows you to look a little closer into the details of Stone Garden and all of the services we offer.
I, Kristen Riley, plan weddings from start to finish. I am also a flower farmer and floral designer. My work is based out of our wedding venue, Stone Garden. My husband and business partner, Frank Riley, built the infrastructure of our venue from the ground up. He has patiently plugged away at building us multiple growing structures. He manages the mechanics of a wedding day. And just as impressively, he is the creator of our mixology bar program.
From this blog, you can expect to learn about a myriad of topics from the perspectives of Frank and I. To name a few:
Wedding planning
Floral design
Sustainable farming
Building projects
Mixology techniques
Cocktail recipes
Preferred Vendor Showcase
Upcoming public events (on and off site)
Frank and I are so excited to share our experiences with you. We hope that you will enjoy a glimpse into the day-to-day operations of Stone Garden.
Spoiler alert: not one day is the same.
