Have you been struck by cupids arrow? Do you have big plans for you and your sweetheart tomorrow? Valentines day ends what we like to call "engagement season". Nearly a third of all couples get engaged between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day. Engagements can happen any day but the holidays seem to be a popular time.


Valentine's Day or Valentine's weekend is a popular time to tie the knot. The courthouses across the US will be filled with couples wanting to get married . The wedding venues will be busy starting tomorrow thru Sunday with couples wanting to get married during the month of love.

Monday Menu:Love is Sweet

With Valentines day quickly approaching we thought it would only be appropriate to feature Valentine's treats. Wouldn't you love to share one of the these treats with your sweetheart?

Have you thought about featuring heart shaped treats at your wedding? If you are getting married in the month of February or any month, offer a heart shaped dessert option. The heart shaped pies or cookies would make a great take home favor for your guests. 


Recently engaged and planning a wedding? Visit us at the Bridal Affair this Sunday at the Chattanooga Trade and Convention Center.

Monday Menu: Send Off Brunch

Will you have a lot of out of town guest at your wedding? The Homestead at Cloudland Station has a few weekends available for a "Wedding Weekend". We are offering:
  • 2 night accommodations for up to 28 guest (between 4 houses)
  • Use of the Cloudland Station Property (including the lakes, pools, trails, etc.) 
  • Use of the Homestead facility for your ceremony and reception.
Please contact us for pricing and availability. 

If you are having a lot of out of town guests, have you thought of hosting a "Send Off Brunch"? Day after brunches have become a great way to say goodbye to your guest and treat them one last time. Brunch is usually held the morning after the wedding, and it tends to be an intimate affair, often including only family members, the wedding party, and out-of-town guests who are especially close to the bride and groom


If you are having a lot of your guest stay at a certain hotel, inquire about hosting a day after brunch at the hotel or at a nearby restaurant. Hosting a day after brunch gives you the opportunity to speak with any of your guest that you were unable to speak to at the reception. 

With our "Weekend Packages" at the Homestead we would be able to provide a space for a "Send Off Brunch" and we have a great list of caterers to offer you. 

You can verbally notify your guests of the brunch or include a separate invitation in the formal invitation. Don't start brunch to early, maybe 10a.m., and offer coffee. 

What do you think about a "Send Off Brunch"? Please contact us at homesteadcloudlandstation@gmail.com to schedule a tour or for more information.
