The Question Behind Every Room

A family estate, and a design philosophy that starts somewhere unusual for a wedding venue: not with how a room looks, but with how a person will feel standing in it.

Co-founder, certified wedding planner, experiential designer.

Kobi holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in production design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, with a minor in themed entertainment, and worked at Disney Live Entertainment as an arts specialist on shows, parades, props and environments — all of them built around one question. What should the guest feel in this moment?

It is the same question she asks about the moment the doors open and everyone turns around. Whoever sits closest to the dance floor is in every photograph of your first dance. That should be someone you love.

Approval required. This wording follows Draft 2 of the brand framework and needs approving word for word before it appears publicly. Claims stay first person and factual, with no sole credit anywhere.

What should the guest feel, standing in this moment?

The working method

A room is not a look. It is a feeling somebody has standing in it.

Themed entertainment design starts from the guest and works backwards. Not what should this room look like but what should a person feel standing in it, at this hour, having just done the thing they came here to do.

It is why the seating chart matters more than the centerpieces, why the walk from the ceremony to the deck is a walk and not a shuttle, and why the last thing on the property is a cottage in the woods rather than a parking lot.

The family

A family story, still.

Paul Cummings bought the property for another purpose entirely. Over time he and his daughter Kobi began restoring and reimagining it, and what emerged was not a collection of event spaces but a hospitality estate.

The estate should grow without anyone becoming a room number. Couples are known here, by name.

Come and meet her

Kobi answers, and Kobi is there on the night.

Not a sales office. The people who answer the inquiry are the people who will be on the property at eleven at night on your Saturday.
