“From the very start of the planning process for my surprise engagement, Ivey and the staff were extremely organized and detail-oriented. I was given multiple options for private tours which were completely customizable to fit my needs. Ivey was very flexible to meet onsite and go over any details before the day of the tour so that she and I could make sure the engagement was nothing short of perfect. I chose to begin with a private house tour and Millie was an absolute pleasure to walk with. She showed her enthusiasm and passion for the history of the plantation throughout the entire tour. The garden tour following the house tour was exceptional in every way, and ending the tour on the Long White Bridge on one knee was an unforgettable experience to say the least. Following the proposal, my fiance and I were met with champagne and charcuterie on the porch of the house and sent home with a gift bag full of beautiful goodies. Ivey, Miranda and the staff pulled out all of the stops and were a huge help in making that day the best day of my life!"
