The Wedding Planner!

 Wedding Planner

You may have heard about the fabulous weddings the Orr Family Farm hosts. The weddings take a lot of work to help set up and take down and all of the little things in between.

There is one lady who can do it all. She is with the Bride and Groom weeks even months in advance to start planning and preparing for the wedding. This spectacular lady would be Kathy Stallings. Kathy not only does the weddings, but also helps with the gift store, field trips, and much much more.

Kathy has worked at the farm since it opened and has been a family friend long before that. Kathy has an outgoing nature and is very well organized. She is a joy to be around.

Kathy, we don’t know what we would do with out you and are very thankful for all that you do.
