This venue was everything I could have imagined.. as soon as I walked through the doors I was amazed.. and when I walked into the bridal suite I knew this was it!! Heather and Sam ...
were amazing! As we all know wedding planning can be pretty stressful, but they helped with things I didn’t even think about! Any questions or concerns I had they were right there to help out and ease my mind on things. All night everyone was complementing the venue and how beautiful everything was! Every time we turned around and Sam was there asking if we needed anything, water, food, drinks ect. We did have a hiccup with our food trucks (not the venues fault) and Sam was there the entire time making sure everything was taken care of. Highly recommend getting the Photo Booth it was a huge hit!!😊
