The Location
Their wedding was at a Montana sheep ranch, The Duffey Place, which is owned by a friend, Mary Ann Duffey, and her mother, Jean Duffey. The ranch had been a second home to Marisa after college when she spent time living in Montana. A circle of talented and loving friends helped create the wedding. The food was a gift, provided by Jewel Redmon, who owns a catering company where Marisa once worked. Party equipment rentals were a gift from another friend, who owns a party rental shop. A floral designer pal from California gave a gift of the flowers; and another friend with party-planning expertise stepped in as the wedding coordinator.
