Hi friends 👋 Warning: long read!
It’s been a little quiet lately… not because life at Mystic Ponds Estate has slowed down, but because the life of a solopreneur is basically a daily juggling act with a side of chaos and a sprinkle of “what day is it again?” 😅
While social media took a bit of a backseat, please know this: behind the scenes, I am all about the weddings, every detail, and every story unfolding at MPE.
Now that I’ve had a little time to reset, the social noise is about to pick back up — because WOW do I have some incredible couples to share with you all 💛
What I’ve been up to lately (a very honest recap):
• Learned how to tap dance… and yes, that's me in the gold glitter vest on a stage. Broadway? Not yet. Enthusiasm? 10/10 ✨
• Took a dreamy trip to Portugal… which included an unexpected hospital stay thanks to a kidney stone that chose violence mid-mountain hike 🏔️ — it stole a few days of vacation, continued its journey back in the U.S. with a surgery, but I’m happy to report I bounced back 💪
• Loads of love chasing after 2 grandkids who are both tiny and yet faster than me 🏃♀️
Venue maintenance adventures:
• Viewed the Great Elusive Beaver Chase: a suspense thriller where the trees are the real victims 🌳
• Chainsawing through trees downed from the recent ice storm... lumberjack love 🪵
• Patching up the pond thanks to some very ambitious muskrats (they have big dreams, we’ll give them that) 🦫
• Spreading new gravel from the washout like it’s part of a workout program 💪
And now… spring is waking up at MPE 🌿
• Brand new ceremony benches are being made (and they are going to be so good)
• Fresh white drapery is added to the loft for that soft, romantic glow
• By popular demand, Yuengling beer has officially been added to the menu 🍻
• Window box succulents are getting a refresh because even plants deserve a glow-up 🌱
More love stories, more beautiful moments, and more behind-the-scenes chaos coming your way soon 💫
Thanks for being here while we catch our breath — now let’s celebrate 2026 💛
