Why I Love Weddings at The Wells Estate

February 12, 2026

A Conversation with Our Venue Team

There’s something unmistakable about the way a place feels when it’s been designed with intention. Not just thoughtfully built, but thoughtfully cared for. At The Wells Estate, weddings aren’t simply hosted. They’re guided. Supported. Protected. And that philosophy starts with the people leading the experience.

At the heart of weddings here is Jolene Brugaletta, our Venue Director, a steady presence whose role goes far beyond timelines and logistics. With her at the helm, couples are met with compassion, confidence, and the kind of behind-the-scenes care that allows a wedding day to feel effortless.

As The Wells Estate looks ahead to an exciting 2026 season, Jolene is joined by Allison Dolaway, Venue Coordinator, whose creative energy and eye for detail help bring each couple’s vision fully to life. Together, they represent the heart of the venue team and the experience couples can expect when they choose to celebrate here.

Meet Jolene: Leading with Care, Intention & Trust

When Jolene first walked the property years ago, it wasn’t just the space that stood out; it was the potential.

“When Partyman first purchased the property and we toured the old venue, I could see so much potential,” she shares. “But when we brought the renderings for the new space to light, it was love at first sight. The arches and the landscaping gave an elegance that resembled a royal garden. I couldn’t wait to watch so many love stories unfold in a fairy-tale setting.”

That vision has since become reality, and Jolene’s role is to ensure every couple feels the magic without ever feeling the work behind it.

“My behind-the-scenes day is a busy one,” she says. “Whether I’m helping vendors settle into the space, driving elderly family members around the property, or helping photographers find the perfect spots to capture special moments, I’m constantly moving, making sure the day unfolds seamlessly.”

It’s a level of care many couples don’t see but absolutely feel.

“The love and care that our team pours into every event is what truly sets us apart,” she explains. “We know how important these moments are. We want our couples to feel seen, heard, and supported throughout their entire experience.”

What Makes Weddings at The Wells Estate Different

Ask Jolene what truly sets weddings here apart, and her answer isn’t about one single feature.

Of course, she admits, there is something undeniably special about the ceremony space.

“And let’s be honest,” she adds with a smile, “there’s no greater ceremony space than under those one-of-a-kind arches.”

The day flows intentionally. The property feels exclusive and immersive. Guests experience ease. Couples experience presence. That balance between beauty and execution is what defines weddings at The Wells Estate.

The Moments That Never Get Old

Some moments, no matter how many times you witness them, never lose their impact.

“For me, it’s always the parent dances,” Jolene shares. “Mother-son. Father-daughter. Or when someone steps in to fill that role. The love you see in those moments is unlike any other.”

Those emotional pauses — the ones that ground the day — are what make each celebration feel deeply personal.

From the Planning Side: Bringing the Vision to Life

While Jolene leads the experience, Allison, Venue Coordinator, is often right beside couples as their ideas take shape.

“I grew up in a small town, so any weddings nestled in the countryside have always held a sense of nostalgia for me,” Allison explains. “But I was never drawn to the rustic vibe. What makes this venue special is how it blends countryside roots with modern luxury, in a way I haven’t felt anywhere else.”

She’s quick to point out that weddings at The Wells Estate are never one-size-fits-all.

“The property allows for so much flexibility,” she says. “From farewell brunches to welcome dinners, high-tea garden parties to pizza nights on the patio, couples can truly create a weekend experience. And what you see on social media? That’s just inspiration. It’s not the limit.”

For Allison, the most rewarding moments are the reveals.

“Seeing couples’ faces when their vision transforms into reality, that ‘is this really for us?’ moment, never gets old.”

What Couples Say After the Celebration

When the day comes to a close, the feedback Jolene hears most often is simple… and telling.

“Couples tell us they couldn’t have imagined a better day,” she says. “They felt cared for. Like royalty. And their guests always rave about the food.”

That sense of being fully supported is intentional.

“Weddings are a significant investment,” Jolene explains gently. “And you truly feel the value when you’re surrounded by a team that feels like friends, people who understand that you only get to live this day once.”

Advice for Couples Beginning Their Search

For couples just starting their venue journey, both Jolene and Allison share similar guidance.

“It should feel like a reflection of you,” Jolene says simply.

Allison adds “Decide on your must-have moments. Bring that checklist to your tour and check if the venue can support those or excite you. When it’s right, you’ll feel it.”

At The Wells Estate, that confidence is reinforced by an all-inclusive approach, on-site coordination, and a team whose sole focus is ensuring the day unfolds exactly as intended.

“Decide on your must-have moments. Bring that checklist to your tour and check if the venue can support those or excite you. When it’s right, you’ll feel it.”

Looking Ahead: The Venue Team Is Ready for 2026

As The Wells Estate looks toward the seasons ahead, there’s a shared sense of excitement.

“I’m excited because our couples are excited,” Jolene says. “Knowing we get to play a role in making their dreams a reality, my cup overflows every time.”

Allison agrees. “The designs, the menus, the creative teams, every event coming up is going to be breathtaking. I’m counting down the days.”

With Jolene leading the way and Allison by her side, The Wells Estate enters 2026 ready, grounded in care, elevated by experience, and guided by a team who truly loves what they do.

With love,
