nna personally talked with my mom and I on the phone for hours in the evenings going over every little detail! She was simply fantastic!
The food from Navarre catering (included with venue rental) was so yummy, and everything looked amazing!
The venue itself is simply stunning. Words do not do it justice! This is unlike any other ballroom, it has a romantic feel with a touch of old class charm. Exactly what my husband and I wanted to make our day special.
