Kim was there for us every single step of the way. She felt like family off the bat and did everything she could to ensure we had the perfect wedding.

ove, and it's felt the moment you step foot onto the property. Kim's touch is in every corner. The space held 75 guests for our wedding, comfortably. There is a plethora of decor available on-site to use.
Kim's venue is cost-effective, and you do NOT lose the quality or service. In fact, it felt like the opposite.
It's private, spacious, includes a catering area, and was the perfect backdrop to our wedding photos.
Thank you, Kim, from the bottom of our hearts! We will remember you forever!
Love, Nate and Emilie Lewis
