Brand Tone

The predominant tone is whimsical, romantic, and magical, consistently referencing fairytales, magic, and enchantment. This is complemented by a cozy, intimate, and deeply personal feel.

Brand Values

• •Creating Magical & Memorable Experiences
• •Intimacy and Personal Connection
• •Nature and Healing
• •All-Inclusive, Turn-Key Service
• •Authenticity and Storytelling

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Fairytale" Lexicon: Consistently use words and phrases like "magical," "enchanting," "storybook," "fairytale," "secret garden," and "dream." This reinforces the core brand identity in every piece of communication.
• •Lead with Emotion and Story: Always connect the venue back to the emotions it evokes romance, intimacy, wonder, and peace. Share the brand's origin story and the stories of the couples you host to build a deeper connection with the audience.
• •Highlight the "Micro" and "Intimate" Aspect: Frame the small size not as a limitation, but as the venue's greatest strength. Use copy that emphasizes the beauty of celebrating with one's closest friends and family and the stress-free nature of a smaller event.
• •Speak Directly to the Dreamer: Address the audience as individuals who are looking for something unique and out of the ordinary. Use phrases like "For the ones who have dreamed..." or "If you're looking for a celebration that feels uniquely you..."
• •Maintain a Warm, Personal, and Slightly Whimsical Tone: Whether writing a caption, an email, or a website update, the voice should always feel like it's coming from a passionate, creative, and caring person, not a corporation. Use emojis like ✨, 🌿, and ❄️ to add a touch of personality where appropriate.

Social Perception

Vaughan House is overwhelmingly perceived as a dreamlike and stunning venue, often described as magical and a fairytale, with the greenhouse being a particularly praised feature. The owners receive exceptional praise for their personalized, dedicated, and 'above and beyond' service. It is widely recognized as the ideal choice for intimate, unique micro-weddings. The brand has cultivated a viral social media presence, inspiring high aspirations among users, although one minor concern about potential 'nickel and diming' was noted.
