ieu of a rehearsal dinner since we didn’t have a bridal party and everyone was coming from out of state). The venue is beautiful, the 3rd party caterer we used through CRD was delicious as well! Can’t say enough great things about this location and team. If they hadn’t already been booked we would’ve had our reception here as well. Our wedding planning process was pretty much a nightmare, wish everything else had gone as smoothly and had great people working for them like CRD. BOOK them! You won’t regret it, I promise! - The Taylor’s
