Jackie and Danny Spano have created something special with the Rosemary at Spano Lake. I had the good fortune to get married at the Rosemary this May, and my husband and I are so grateful that the Rosemary will forever be part of our memory of our wedding day. It is objectively a beautiful place to get married with gorgeous vistas of the lake and the woods and flawlessly manicured grounds. It also feels intimate because you and your guests are truly welcomed into the Spanos' home. Jackie and Danny went above and beyond to ensure our guests were comfortable and happy on a day when the weather didn't fully cooperate by setting up the site, getting us heaters, doling out umbrellas, and working with us to host our ceremony in a window when the clouds parted. Even though they weren't coordinators for the event, the Spanos did everything they could to make sure we were getting the most out of our day. Aside from the remarkable couple running the Rosemary, this venue has so much more available for you than the average outdoor venue, including handmade harvest tables, a bridal suite, chairs for your guests, and a sailcloth tent. I couldn't recommend it enough.
