Barefoot Weddings: Vendor Interview with Tammie Hall of Chande Pines

Hi friends! Welcome to the next post in my Wedding Planning series, featuring weekly monthly interviews with local wedding vendors in the Southeast/Coastal GeorgiaArea .

I bring you this series to provide a unique and time-saving resource for couples in the throes of wedding planning.

In this series, you will be introduced to various vendors including Wedding Venues, Florists, Planners, and more!

Today, it is my honor to introduce to you to Tammie Hall, owner of the breathtaking venue of Chande Pines, in Pembroke GA.

Hi Tammie! I am so excited to feature your wedding venue for couples planning their wedding and looking for the perfect location to host their dream day! – Please tell us a little about yourself and your business!

At Chande Pines, we strive at working in excellence. If we can’t be 100% committed, then it’s time to close up shop! We offer several types of services including venue, floral design, rentals, design set up, and labor set up.

We also have our preferred planning services through Rooted Gatherings. At Chande Pines, we strive to improve after each event. Knowledge is powerful and we truly learn something new almost every weekend. I always say what happens on your day effects the next! So if things are done right on your day then the next day should be as fabulous.

When I’m not working on an event, spending time with my grand-babies is priority. I also enjoy taking girl trips with my besties, and sometimes I love doing nothing (when I have a day to squeeze that in). My goal is improve my self and skill set, so when I’m able I like to take classes in-person or online. During the busy season, I try to enjoy date nights with my favorite man in my life (we love to eat!).

What inspired you to open Chande Pines?
I love serving others. I served in my church for many years and enjoyed being over the hospitality department. When I worked at Alltel for 18 years, I learned so much about the business world and worked with many personalities during that time.

What services do you provide/offer your couples?
We create packages based off clients needs. Services including floral design, decor, rentals, signage, and labor services are available. We also have an in-house planner that we recommend for planning and wedding coordinating.

What sets your venue apart from others in the wedding industry?
We are a hidden gem at Chande Pines. We provide a unique experience to your family and friends. All the illuminating lights at night create a magical vibe. We have a pond, bridge, woods, beautiful wood furniture and are not far from downtown, Savannah area. As far as florals and rentals services are concerned, we provide those services onsite, so if there’s an issue, we are just steps away to get it resolved!

How far in advance do you recommend booking your venue/services?
Most couples reserve their preferred date 9-12 months in advance.

What does your booking process look like?
Our process is very simple. Once you decide Chande Pines is the place for your dream day, your contract is processed electronically with half of your package is due at signing. Then, the fun begins to make the vision HAPPEN!

What do you enjoy most about owning a wedding venue?
I love everything about making the vision happen. This includes the venue, flowers, decorations, planning and rentals. Making each clients vision come to life is my favorite part of my job (besides the cake and margs)! Bonus, it’s a different vision every weekend.

What advice do you have for couples searching for a wedding venue?
When looking for a venue, I would recommend seeing it in person. Ask important questions that will impact your day. But mostly, ask yourself if you feel it in your heart. It’s just like saying “yes” to the dress. You get that magical feeling that it’s the place! I also highly recommended when you find the venue for you that you book it quickly. Dates goes FAST!

What can couples who book with you expect leading up to their wedding & day of?
You can expect us to be working in excellence.

What should people know who are looking to book you for their wedding?
If you decide to go with Chande Pines and our additional services I can promise you we are 100% committed to helping you have a priceless day.

Do you have any advice or words of wisdom for couples planning their wedding?
Remember, it’s about you and your partner. Allow us to help you provide the best experience for you, your family and friends. When you and your family members try to do all the work, the priceless memories can quickly become a nightmare. This is an investment in your future. Make it a priceless time♡

Is there anything else you’d like to share about yourself or your business?
I love what I do! The joy of making someone’s vision come to life is a priceless reward that cannot be explained. I wish everyone was able to say they are truly working their dream job.
