This page contains information that couples will want
to
have in order to make an informed decision about
having their wedding and reception catered during the
opening season of Klaniecki's Catered Weddings LLC.
I, Billie Jo Klaniecki, have taken
the pictures, researched
the information, composed the text, and typed every
word of this website.
It reflects the careful attention
to detail that I will employ when working with couples
to make sure
their marriage celebration is a unique
and satisfying experience.
Klaniecki Family's Peace Gardens
As a Family, my husband, our son and
daughter, and I
decided we wanted all our roses, lilacs, and other flowers
which we collected
in boxes to become gardens
that families can enjoy for generations.
Look at the pictures in
the photo gallery to see the
garden beds my husband and I have shaped, planted,
and watched
mature during the last 12 years.
Profits from catering weddings will enable us to
provide the gardens legal status. They will finance
the construction and landscaping of each of the gardens.
They will also pay for a watering system
of cisterns and ponds for all the gardens.
We will plant an oriental garden with a pagoda
and koi pond beside azelas and rododendrems
clustered
among the cedars and stands of white birch
planted with established native flowers,
groundcovers,
and shrubs.
In the center of a reflecting pool, surrounded by
conifers and toperiary,
will rise an arched conservatory
filled with orchids, moss, and ferns. A tower of steel
and glass will overlook the conservatory and have
a bird's eye view of the 3 mountain ranges ringing
the gardens.
Various nooks and quiet spaces will connect
all the
gardens. One special nook will have the
wedding arch with climbing roses on both sides
and a
plaque Thanking each of the bridal couples
whoes marriage celebration made the gardens bloom.

In case of bad weather, sections of pavilion can be
