Laura was amazing to work with. She went above and beyond sooo many times. She would send us ideas and would communicate periodically just to make sure we didn’t need any help or have any questions. She set aside time in many different occasions to meet in person and even take us around the park! We felt like she became a friend! Wonderful to work with. The grounds are beautiful, great for a smallish wedding. We had about 80 people and rented a tent to put outside, ample room for people to spread out and have fun. There were a few small lines for the 2 bathrooms but not sure we would of done it differently! We wanted a nice simple affordable venue where we could do our own things to make it look nice but not over pay. We did rent a trolley because we served alcohol, happy we did that! The grounds are amazing making great opportunities for wonderful pictures!
