at catering and was able to inform us of people who did any services that we needed as far as a preacher, decorations etc., they were great recommendations.

Although our wedding day was incredibly hot, Madeline Sly made our ceremony at the Pagoda Garden a memorable one. She was very open with our ideas and even let us use the restaurant on site to get out of the heat. She was quick to respond to ...

emails and calls which was very helpful! Be mindful that you will need to bring any items and or rent chairs, etc that you may need if the ceremony is being held there. Very affordable!

one bathroom in the restaurant. I would recommend renting a portable bathroom if you have a large party.
