Having had a fabulous first hand experience of the relaxing atmosphere and wonderful services at Suzanne Stacey’s Cityspa I am happy to tell you about this wonderful, cozy Charlottesville gem and the options they offer to brides & grooms and/or your whole wedding party. So, whether you’re simply in the midst of all the planning and want to decompress for an hour or two with your Mom or MOH or want to give your bridesmaids and groomsmen a special treat, Cityspa has wonderful, relaxing options for you to enjoy individually or as a group: massage, facials, manicures, pedicures and lots more.  Suzanne kindly sent me these sweet photos along with a few quotes from her happy brides and grooms to share with you.  Pretty irresistible, if you ask me :“It was an oasis of peace and tranquility during a very hectic wedding weekend” (Libby Bain)
“Personal treatment with the entire place to ourselves – we were able to bring in our own treats to enjoy during the experience” (Bennett Bain)“There was great care taken to make sure the experience was personal and of the highest quality” (Elle Kline)
“It was fun to laugh and enjoy while getting our nails ready for the big day!” (Stephanie Lynch)

When I talk to brides and grooms who are in the midst of putting all the pieces of their wedding together they are often quite stressed out! From where I sit it sometimes looks like another full time job on top of their already-busy lives! The beginning of the New Year tends to be a huge wedding-planning month, especially for couples who have gotten engaged over the holidays or have simply put off getting started ’til after the New Year.

So today, I’m going to share with you a whole list of local spa resources… give yourself a break, have a massage or a manicure… take a breath! Also a great gift for a bride and groom who need to relax and remember what it’s really all about.
