I was looking for a budget friendly place for my reception. I found this place since it was close to many hotels for my out of town guests and was not costly. They answered all my ...

questions were quick to respond to all questions and my wedding planners questions. I have gotten so many wonderful comments on the food since I had a buffet. They also made sure to give my all the information for my other vendors before I left. They were helpful and the drink prices and food prices were the cheapest I found and was great for picky eaters!
