"Die Auswahl der Nahrungsmittel für das sogenannte Frühstück war abominable."

"My siblings and I decided to have an anniversary celebration for our parents but at the time we had not chosen a venue. Someone suggested we visit the Sparrow Grove Manor. When I called I was delighted to speak to Kathy Behtz who is a co-owner and business partner with Kristen Sckmitke. By the end of our tour we knew instantly we had found the perfect venue. We loved that the Manor had a Southern Charm with a twist of modern flair, a large area in the back of the home with exquisite landscaping and plenty of room for outdoor entertaining( also a great location for an outdoor wedding), suites upstairs for out of town family to stay the night and walk to historic downtown Monroe, and to top it all off with location, location, location. The Manor and the outdoor space met and exceeded all of our wants and needs. Kathy asked several questions specific as to our thoughts, wants and wishes for the celebration. She made sure she had the exact information she needed to turn our vision into reality. Due to our delay in planning along with our limited experience in hosting a larger gathering Kathy and Kristen stepped up and put their expertise in planning and hospitality into action. We catered the reception ourselves but we were missing the “wow” factor as our guests entered the foyer, that is other than the fabulous entrance and decor of the Sparrow Grove Manor, of course. Kathy knew just what we needed and allowed us to pay them to prepare a grazing table for the open front dining room. It was such a fabulous display so much so that many of our guests asked who did the catering.They also decorated the inside and outside of the Manor where we would be celebrating with beautiful flowers and decor that complimented the setting. My parents were in awe as they entered the entrance of the Manor to such beauty with many friends and family members in attendance to greet them on their special day. They had an incredible time visiting with guests, eating, exploring the home and dancing amongst friends and family in the moonlit sky all while relishing in the many toasts given in honor of them. As the dancing stopped, the celebration came to a close and the last guest had left our parents told us “thank you” for hosting their anniversary celebration at such “a” beautiful and memorable “place”. They also thanked us for allowing them the opportunity “to make” many “special” and endearing “memories “ with great friends and family while celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. They said they would cherish these memories for a lifetime, thus, the name , A Place to Make Memories”, came into being. It took nine months for me to write this review because I knew once I started writing about their spectacular day I would have a difficult time bringing it to an end. My siblings and I love our parents in such a special way that we are way beyond thankful to God for allowing us to honor our parents at a place and time they will never forget."
