The Window Switch





A beautiful new window stands at the front of the Chapel and when I saw it for the first time my heart skipped a beat.   For me it's much more than just a switch-a-roo.  That's what I love about this place we call home and that we get to share with so many.  There are stories to be told in each building and we hope to continue that with everything we do to enhance the property .

So I want to let you in on the story of this rugged cross.

The Wood
 I wish I could tell you a really great story about the history of the wood, where the tree stood, the exact barn that it came from and more.  What I can tell you is this wood held up a barn.  It weathered many storms and got a beating or two for the many years that it did it's job.  Jacob Kimball, from Rocky Mountain Board and Beam, carefully removed this wood in his labor of love to preserve the pieces of barns that can't stand tall any longer.  My husband went to Jake's to pick out the piece.  The science of his selection, something dry.  What I love more than the wood he chose is how that simple trip changed the direction of his day. It had been a rough couple of days.  As we all have, things go awry and don't always pan out the way you had hoped.  This was what my husband had been facing.  There were more things on the to-do list than on the ta-da!  list.  But when he came home from picking out that piece of wood, it was as though he had started fresh. It may have been something Jake had said, or just the fact that he was about to do something he loved.  Tyler came home with that fresh look on the day, and said, "lets just spend some time with the kids.  That project can wait until tonight."  We spent the afternoon cheering on our nephew at his basketball game and ate dinner together as a family.

The Carpenter
My husband is a quiet man.  You won't find him dancing in the aisles or shouting from the soap box. I know sometimes we can get caught up in thinking the one who sings loudest during worship or raises their hands most must be more spiritual, but I know that's not the case. My husband shows his love and his character through his actions.  I think he feels closest to Jesus when he's in the workshop rather than surrounded by people singing (that's not quite his element).  But after all, Jesus was a carpenter so why shouldn't that be where he'd feel closest to him?

He got to work on that cross late that night and into the morning hours.  I was busy with the kids and things on my to-do list as he would ask me what I thought about stain color or the way he should suspend the cross in the window.  I never really saw the cross as he worked on it though and just kept hoping that things were shaking out the way he had hoped.

The symbol...
I ran, literally ran, out to the Little White Chapel and swung open the door.  That's when it hit me.  This cross, this is how my husband worships. The cross that stands is not to be idolized, for it is just a piece of wood.  It will not bring miracles and it will not heal my soul.  But when I look at that cross, I am reminded of my savior.  The one who came and walked this earth, perfectly.  The one who suffered in all ways so that he could relate to my struggles and my pain.  The one who was ridiculed, beaten and humiliated in ways that I have never experienced. And my Jesus who died on a cross so that I could have the hope of a relationship with him and an eternity in heaven by his side. The symbol is not of death.  Oh no, the symbol is of life! The symbol is of hope and grace and beauty and love.  What a beautiful symbol we see now each time we swing open those Chapel doors.

But why?
There were a couple of reasons we chose to change the window.  The stained glass window that stood there before was beautifully created and we know the time and talents it took to make it.  While it wasn't the perfect background for every event held here, we still are grateful to the one who used their talents to create a beautiful piece of art. We did personally, however,  feel that the window at the front of the chapel was not consistent with the beautiful stained glass windows along the sides.  This was confirmed in the comments of many who wanted the same reverent feel and look of those side windows at the front where so many would be focused.  That was our main motivation, but it's also been an opportunity to put a personal touch on the Little White Chapel that holds special meaning to our family.  Removing the stained glass window has in no way been an act of dishonoring the one who painted it and certainly is not to dishonor Jesus.  We are thankful that His presence is not dependent on a painting, or a cross hanging, or any other symbol for that matter.

Now I know this story is deep and we don't expect everyone to have the same reaction to this new window that stands in the chapel as we did.  But we did want to let you know the story behind it.  We have found that is what can make Still Water Hollow feel like home to you.  We love meeting couples on their first tour who already have read the story behind the Little White Chapel and with each piece of history they uncover here they seem to love it even more.  We hope that is what this story does for you.

Our Second Annual Bridal Social

I have to admit I've been in a bit of a coma this last weekend after an absolutely amazing event!  See, as the venue we have our hands full with prepping the Still Water Hollow for gorgeous events that take place here.  We help with parking on the day of and make sure things with the venue run smoothly, but we don't actually PUT ON the event.   This last Thursday we did all of the above and with the help of some incredible people, we put on a fun appreciation event for our 2014 Bride's

The event was our Second Annual Bridal Social (even though it was only six months after the first!).  Our first Bridal Social was in March and the chilly weather also brought on some accommodation challenges after the huge response we got from our amazing blushing bride's. So, we decided to not wait a full year and throw another one in September 2013 for all of our 2014 girls.

This September's Bridal Social taught me so much and as I looked out at the ladies who would be taking their vows here next year I felt overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude that God has given me the blessing to be a part of all the beauty that is taking place on this little piece of heaven called Still Water Hollow.

If you are wondering what a Bridal Social is, it's our way of saying "Thank you for giving us the honor of hosting your wedding" to all those who choose this venue.  The evening also gives our Bride's a chance to see the property all gussied up! It's also become a great way for me to show our Bride's some of the wedding professionals we have had great experiences working with and rather than just referring them to our couples, we can actually show them in action-putting on an event. 

When we first toyed around with the idea of a way to thank our couple's, Heidi from Ira & Lucy was sitting in our living room.  She turned our idea of brunch and coffee into a full scale event that surrounds our Bride's with inspiration and tips to make their special day everything they've dreamed.

From there we had to think about what it takes to put on a great event.  We needed food, we needed drinks, we needed some fun and even some eye candy to set the tone for an elegant and classy event. We started thinking of the people we had heard rave reviews about from our couples and had been impressed with ourselves.  Here's where the great wedding professionals stepped up!  What is incredible and unique about this event is that every single one of these wonderful people completely donate their time, talents and services and they don't just do the bare minimum.  They go above and beyond to make sure these Bride's have a wonderful evening.

So a huge, HUGE thank you to....

Ira & Lucy Vintage Rentals- decor, vintage furniture, signage, overall event design and concept
Soundwave Music- lighting, music that set the mood, great DJ personality
The Papercrave- invitations, signage, table numbers, t-shirts, coasters, wedding packets, name tags
Vintage Rides- Model T and vintage cars
The Beer Guys- beverages (bar setup and beer truck)
Famous Dave's- appetizers & dinner (they provided servers to enhance the experience even more for
                       our guests.  allowing them to sit and enjoy the evening rather than stand in a buffet line).
Treasure Valley Photo Booth- FUN FUN FUN!
Meridian Floral- centerpieces for dinner tables and cocktail tables
Maija Karin Photography - capturing moments and decor the entire evening
Ollie's Sweet Treats- a new addition to still water hollow. wait for this darling truck to makes it's debut
                       this winter/spring!


I can not wait to see the images Maija Karin captured so we can share them with you all! It was a wonderful evening and we hope that many of our Bride's were able to walk away feeling loved and maybe with a few great tips in their hip pocket to make their wedding day even more amazing.

You can check out all our beautiful Bride's and their guests that hopped in the photo booth that night on Treasure Valley Photo Booth's Facebook page! Psssstt......girls tag yourselves :)

What is a walk through day?

We get a lot of questions in regards to our Walk Through Days.  These are days designated strictly for those who have booked an event here at Still Water Hollow.  They are able to come to the venue without an appointment and stroll around, dreaming up their perfect wedding day.

The reason behind the Walk Through Day...

When my husband and I got married 5 years ago we noticed a universal policy as we toured venues; most of them allowed one visit post tour and any additional visit could be scheduled for an extra $30-$75 charge.  I think you'll find this is still the policy at many venues. At the time we didn't understand why they would charge so much per visit.  I was overwhelmed when we toured the venues and even after booking our venue thought to myself, "Now, what did that one look like again?  Did they have this, did they have that...."  It was so helpful to go once I knew for sure that was where I was getting married.  I only was allowed to go one time after booking and I took my decorator as well as my mother, mother in law and sister in law.  I saw the venue in a whole new light that time around, but would have loved to go maybe once more as the wedding date neared.

This concept was very important to Tyler and I when we started this business.  We wanted couples to feel welcome to return and to have that time to plan and picture how they wanted their wedding to look.    But we started noticing that it was really hard to accommodate everyone's schedule by making appointments for an additional time or two to bring out other vendors, a grandma in town, friends, family etc.  We found that it just wasn't possible to accommodate all of those requests.  It typically didn't work for one of them or for the venue.  Thus, the Walk Through Day was born and it has been such a hit! With the Walk Through Days there is no appointment needed and we always try to hold 2-3 per month to give ample opportunities to the couples throughout their 8-12 month engagement.

There is a reality to this concept of multiple visits, which the Walk Through Days have helped to solve.  While we never want to charge extra for couples to come visit, we can now see why that is a policy that many venues have in place.  When you have 2-4 events a week, nights of rehearsals, plus tours, the property is in need of some TLC.  The way we show our venue (and grass) TLC is by watering and giving it a rest from people walking on it.  We are currently watering continuously throughout the day when an event is not being held here, plus watering each night after an event has concluded.  The venue needs to have days for the lawn to rest.  And because this is also our home there's also the reality of much needed family time.  Guaranteed, in the summer our family time is often spent working on a Still Water Hollow project or taking the boys out to help us water, but the private time together is priceless.

So, as you can see a typical week leaves us with only 1-2 days of TLC, which is why these Walk Through Days are such a wonderful way for us to allow our couples to come out multiple times, but still give the venue a day or two to recover.  Walk Through Days are dispersed to different days of the week and different times in an effort to accommodate everyone's schedule.  For those who live out of town, we do our best to make exceptions, but ample notice is needed so that we can make proper adjustments.

We have decided that this winter we will be holding weekly Walk Through Days every Monday.  We have not designated a time yet, but we will have them go into the evening since that is typically more convenient.

Keep posted on Facebook for Walk Through Days and times

"Love is patient, love is kind" not just spoken...

 By writing this blog I may be revealing to you the craziest business woman you've ever met.  You see this blog is going to be very transparent. I’m about to peel back the curtain and show you a very real side of our family run business, Still Water Hollow. I teetered back and forth between exposing our reality and praising God for the wonderful family we encountered yesterday or just keeping it all to myself because it also exposes that we are not perfect. In the end, telling you this story won. It just turned out too beautifully not to share.

The truth is every family-run business faces moments when everything goes wrong. Without the support of a big corporation, you are simply left to your own devices to make things right. In just a year and half in business we’ve had water lines break, air conditioners stop working, and crucial deliveries not delivered. And of course there are the realities of being a country venue: gaggles of pooping geese deciding to make this their home, the occasional stray farm dog, bugs, and weather. Most of the time our clients have no idea that we’ve been frantically dealing with these issues in the hours before their big event. That’s the way it should be, but yesterday it wasn’t that way at all.  

We woke up as usual to a beautiful summer morning and headed out to the Country Village (where most all of our receptions are held) for final preparations before our wedding family arrived to decorate. To my horror, the Country Village was completely flooded.  It was like a second pond had popped up overnight. We only had two hours to fix it and I was overwhelmed.

As many of you reading this know, I become perhaps a little too intimately involved with our Still Water Hollow brides… to the point that I almost feel as though it is my wedding day.  So, when I saw this disaster I instantly had a heart ache thinking of how this could ruin a wonderful couple's wedding day.  We frantically started grabbing shop vacs, even went and bought a few more and called in some helpers to start vacuuming and dumping this massive amount of water.  As the clock kept ticking I just kept thinking, "We've got an hour before they get here. We can get this looking like new by then right? Right?" Well, unfortunately it was a much bigger task than an hour would allow us to overcome.  

My heart sank as the family pulled up knowing full well that they would have every right to be disappointed, angry and even rude when they saw the problem. I prepared myself for the response that anyone would expect to get at a moment like that.  But that isn’t what happened.  Their response was full of grace and love.  They immediately started reassuring us that they understood and could see we were doing everything we could.  

Grace, not what we deserved, but what was given.  What a gift that was and in hindsight, not only grace toward us but grace that spilled over for the entire wedding day.  As the bride’s dad placed decorative signs up that said, "Love. Kindness. Patience." our hearts filled with joy.  Because you see, those signed weren’t just cute decorations.  This wonderful family was actually acting out those words. Showing us the grace that God so perfectly gives us everyday and on this day gave us through a family. In a moment when it might not have been easy to be patient, or loving or kind they chose to be all those things and that decision  completely set the tone for an absolutely amazing celebration! 

So the water did get sucked up.  Although silly me for thinking it would be a two hour project!  We were out there for nine hours in hopes of keeping the wedding party from donning galoshes in order to dance at this wedding, but in all honesty the soaked grass did not look it's best even with our best efforts .  We did all we could to dry it out and we strategically placed tables and decorations to cover up the less attractive areas.  But despite that, I tell you this wedding was bursting with fun and laughter. Everyone was smiling and dancing.  The joy that filled this place was undeniable.  It could have been a very different scene.  Had they not made a decision to be understanding, loving and kind-  their day could have been filled with frustration and a cloud of disappointment could have hung overhead.  Instead the only clouds that moved in were the kind that make pictures even that more spectacular and guests that much cooler.  

I have a number of reasons for sharing this story. Wanting to acknowledge the kindness shown to us is first, but there’s also this - As you plan your wedding day, I’d encourage you to keep it all in perspective. The decorations, food and attire are all fun and exciting but all those things don’t embody what the day is about.  Your wedding day is about making a commitment to the one you love, for all your life.  And through your life together you will be faced with moments where, "For better or worse" is tested.  You will have moments when being loving, kind, patient and understanding is more difficult than you think you can bear.  I hope we can all learn from this family, to choose love and joy and know that the things that go wrong sometimes make the best stories. That just might be the secret to the best wedding ever! 

I also share this with all of our future couples in mind.  This is my confession, that we are not perfect and although we promise to always do our very best and everything in our power to make Still Water Hollow beautiful and perfect for your day, we also surrender to the reality that sometimes life happens.  Know that you have a family at Still Water Hollow that loves you and is praying that your day is all you have dreamed it would be.  So by golly we are not going to rest until we have done all we can to make that happen. But when those moments arise when everything isn't perfect (hopefully not on our end) embrace your inner country girl and don't let any hiccup get in the way of a joyful celebration that you will remember for years to come. 

Finally, I am humbled and filled with emotion as I think of the Methner & Cason family, the families at the heart of this story.  You have forever made an impression on our lives.  We deeply thank you for showing grace to us and for being true examples of how to love others.  There is nothing we wish more for your family and for the new Mr. & Mrs. than a life filled with peace and joy - love, kindness, patience and understanding.  

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Huge Thank you to CKG Photography for getting me this photo so quickly.

Great Food for your Reception!

We have had some amazing caterers out at Still Water Hollow in the past month and we have had the blessing of getting to try them out for ourselves! We hope this food review helps you choose a great caterer that fits your wedding and taste buds perfectly!

Reviews for:
It's All About You Catering
Famous Dave's Catering & Bar Service
El Gallo Giro
A Lively Chef


It's All About You Catering
893-5556
 We had the most wonderful brunch wedding out here with the perfect breakfast to go alongside!  Not only was the view gorgeous with the sun rising beyond the Chapel as the couple said, "I Do", but then their guests were treated to everyone's favorite meal, breakfast!  They had a coffee and doughnuts bar, eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns and pancakes topped with adorable berries for a splash of color.  The breakfast was catered by It's All About You Catering . Not only where they very professional in their service, but I could tell they were fun to work with.  The Bride had such confidence in them executing the perfect wedding brunch and they did it without flaw! 


Make sure to check out their Facebook page and website because they have full service catering and bar options.  They also have an option where couples can have the food delivered and set out on buffet tables, but not served.  This is an economical way to save money, but still offer your guests an incredible meal! 

Famous Dave's Catering & Bar Service
898-0325
Famous Dave's absolutely surprised me! I have always loved their restaurant, but to realize the large variety they have for their catering and bar service impressed me.  You can have your chicken and pulled pork or you can have a upscale salmon and chicken entree.  The secret I have to pass along to you is do not miss out on their meatballs!  These aren't found on the restaurant menu, you can only find them on the catering menu.  Whether you order them for an appetizer or the entree, you will not be disappointed! These are some of the best meatballs I have ever had.  They're sweet, they're sassy, they're perfect.  I also really enjoyed their cornbread-perfect side to a country meal!  The bar service they had setup looked very professional, complete with a wood bar that can be placed wherever you please that will hide the keg, taps and bottles.  Everyone on staff from Famous Dave's was very easy to work with and I could tell they really relieved a lot of stress from the bride and groom.  
El Gallo Giro
922-5169
What made the catering from El Gallo Giro so special for this wedding wasn't just the best mexican food I had ever had, but the story behind them being this couples chosen caterers.  This couples first date was at El Gallo Giro, where they shared their first meal together, laughed with one another and had the first spark they thought just might lead them to the alter.  So it seemed absolutely fitting to have El Gallo Giro a huge part of their special day.  The mini Chimichanga's were heavenly.  The roasted jalapeƱos caught my mouth on fire, but I love spicy so it was perfect! BUT, my favorite part is how they made their catering service far more than just a buffet line and some servers. 
They had a guacamole and salsa bar as well as a tortilla station, where their handmade tortilla's were being made right in front of your eyes and warmed to perfection before you walked over to the taco bar, getting to individually pick out the ingredients on your taco.  The way El Gallo Giro set up their mini stations made the food portion of the reception exciting and interactive for the guests!
A Lively Chef
389-9600
A Lively Chef has far more to offer than the delicious meal they'll prepare for your guests.  They offer full service catering, which means they will set up the tables, food areas, serve your guests their meal and dessert, as well as help tear down everything at the end of the night.  The team from A Lively Chef were one of the first people I saw arrive and the very last to leave.  Not only did I get to enjoy their gourmet lasagna, creamy chicken and salad, but as the night was closing and we were feeling the effects of a very hot day, Gary handed me the most amazing huckleberry punch I have ever had!  I really don't care too much for punch, especially on a hot day because it usually leaves me feeling more thirsty and tastes too sweet. This huckleberry punch changed my mind.  Not too sweet, the flavor was light and refreshing and the color also made me smile! I really enjoyed getting to know the team at A Lively Chef and am looking forward to them being out here more often.

Guest Blog: Site Coordinator vs. Wedding Coordinator?

The ladies at Delicate Designs are my go-to gals when it comes to making sure your event runs smoothly and looks incredible!  Not only are they amazing at what they do, but they are fun to be around.  I have always told people when you hire a wedding coordinator, decorator or photographer the number one thing you should love about them is their personality!  Even above their talent.  These are the people you will be surrounded by the most on your wedding day and the ones your guests will encounter the most. You want to make sure these are people you genuinely would enjoy having at your wedding.  I have no doubt that these two ladies would be on the top of your invite list.
I've been asked often whether I am a coordinator or not.  After Diane, from Delicate Designs, wrote this blog I asked if I could feature it for all of our couples.  This helps outline what the difference from having a site coordinator (which would be those of us at Still Water Hollow) vs. having a Wedding Coordinator is.  I've also asked Diane to come to the venue this Thursday during our Open Venue time for those booked with us.  She'll be on hand from 5:00pm-7:00pm.  She is going to help answer any questions you might have regarding Wedding Coordination, decoration and more.  This would be a great time for you to meet her and find out how valuable she could be on your big day.  I've truly always regretted not hiring a Wedding Coordinator for my wedding.  Everything that went poorly could have been prevented if I had known about Diane and Dawn.  What I didn't realize is how realistic it was for my budget.  I always imagined having a coordinator meant that you have a large budget, but I've learned that is not the case.
For now, enjoy Delicate Designs guest blog post and plan to come out and speak with her in person this Thursday, April 25th from 5-7pm.
                                                                                            Brianne Gray 




Brides are you often conflicted when understanding the difference between the roles and responsibilities of a site coordinator and a wedding coordinator?? Are you concerned that you may be paying twice the amount for the same service? Well that is a legitimate concern, but may not be entirely true. Let me help explain why.
Site Coordinator vs. Wedding Coordinator
A Site Coordinator is responsible for your venue or location. They ensure all employees are informed of your wedding and reception details; such as the set up crew, kitchen staff, wait staff, bartenders, cleaning crew, maintenance team, etc. Their main goal is to ensure the facility runs smoothly. They focus on doing their job to ensure prompt service from the catering of dinner to the bartending. An on-site coordinator may not be required to do certain things, such as facilitate your rehearsal, in which case, a bride and groom may be left feeling uneasy and insecure. An on-site coordinator’s job description has boundaries, but a wedding planner’s duties are next to unlimited. At the end of the day, an on-site coordinator is there to represent the property, but not necessarily the bride and groom themselves.
A Wedding Coordinator may begin services just prior to the wedding date and perform services after the vendors and venue are hired by the bridal couple. Their role is to manage all details the bride and groom have spent months planning to make sure everything comes together exactly as the couple imagined. Having a coordinator allows the couple, wedding party, family members and guests to enjoy their special day without the stress. The wedding coordinator will work with the site coordinator on these details as well. Their duties may extend beyond those for the day-of the wedding. A planner will work with the couple for up to a year before the big day helping with everything from design creation, budget management, stationary/invitations, wedding etiquettes, vendor booking and suggestions, and contract negotiation or review along with coordinating everything the day of the wedding. A wedding planner is there to help reduce stress by managing and organizing all the details from start to finish with a “day of” timeline which includes the details of the ceremony and reception. This is a great option for couples that want assurance that they are hiring reliable vendors and getting the most for their budget or have demanding busy lifestyles and schedules. 
Hiring a wedding planner/coordinator to help with your wedding day is so worth the fee. It is so much more than creating a color scheme, working with family to load gifts, or cutting the cake; we are there for you and the other vendors to help create a memorable day. Your wedding planner will be there every step of the way, making sure you’re getting not only what your venue’s contract states, but what all of your vendors’ contracts state. Your wedding planner/ coordinator is as committed and passionate about your wedding as you are. Interview your on-site coordinator well, identify exactly what their duties include, and hire a wedding planner to pick up where the on-site coordinator leaves off and to fill in any blanks.
Here are a few more reasons to hire a wedding planner/coordinator:
  • Can convert your vision into a reality.
  • Facilitate both the rehearsal and the ceremony.
  • Guarantee that you make the most informed decision when signing a contract and hiring a vendor.
  • Help you SAVE MONEY!!
  • Has a “game face’ that is almost invincible, you’ll never see them sweat.
  • Mediate and manage vendors, guests & all the details.
  • Your buffer to problems and issues, they shield you.
  • Will look out for you, even when dealing with family.
  • Works under extreme pressure at time; there are NO “do-overs” on your big day.
  • There is a lot of fast paced and running around done behind the scenes, to help you.
  • Truly cares about your wedding day and making sure you have ALL your personal touches and special moments that you have pulled together in your planning. You want your planner to take that kind of “ownership”, yet without taking OVER the day and making it theirs.
  • Ensure that your special day runs smoothly ~ timeline management & troubleshooting
  • Are VERY ORGANIZED.
  • Are a resource of knowledge, a sounding board for decisions, and a stress reducer!
We would love to hear your feedback, thoughts or questions.
Happy stress free planning!

Bridal Social 2013

This year we held our first annual Bridal Social and there is no doubt that this will be a yearly event!  We know how important a wedding day is and we don't take it lightly when someone chooses to get married at Still Water Hollow.  It's an honor to be a part of such a beautiful commitment in two peoples lives and it's our hope that their choice to use our venue only makes their day better; filled with peace and an overwhelming spirit of joy and love!

Between emails back and forth, tours with our couples, phone conversations or just meetings to get all the details in place I fall more and more in love with the people getting married here.  I feel that they've become our friends, family and they each hold such a special place in our hearts.  The Bridal Social was just a small way of blessing our brides, but let me tell you, that day I felt blessed.  To look out and see these glowing faces...I literally felt that the whole room was glowing! It was breathtakingly beautiful.  My prayers are with these brides every day and especially on their big day
("Dear Lord, please no rain today!").

Take a look at some of these special moments captured at the Bridal Social.  Friends laughing, sisters hugging, mothers and daughters dreaming and of course beautiful brides everywhere! All of these photos were taken by Stephanie Mballo and Audrey Choate.  The links below also give you the option of purchasing prints for your home.  There are some really precious images that I am sure you will want to hold on to!

A HUGE thank you to Stephanie Mballo Photography and Raft Media for capturing these...
