The Story Behind Chestnut & Vine

Owner and founder, Erin McCauley, is proud to be from a family that welcomes everyone with open arms, does not differentiate between blood relatives and in-laws, and even considers their cousins’ cousins to be members of their extended family. Their love and respect for one another stems from the example set forth by Erin’s grandparents, Nellie and Clifford, who were happily married for 67 years.

Erin’s favorite part of being a wedding coordinator is getting to witness the foundation of support that families build around the engaged couple. Hence, it seemed fitting for her to name her company in honor of the place where her family’s foundation began… her grandparents’ loving, rural, Midwestern home located on the corner of Chestnut & Vine.
