They also did a great job making last minute changes for unexpected things that came up. Which meant the bride and I were stress free and focused only on the things that mattered… eachother!

ems you can rent/use during your wedding (lanterns, tealights, vases, arches, lighting, etc.) which helped take work and some costs off our plate. The food was delicious and service overall was excellent day of the wedding. Only thing I misunderstood was the role of the coordinators, I thought they did more decorating/general help day of but they are really just there to make sure the venue/food runs smoothly so you may still need to bring help to decorate and run around day of your wedding.

gs like catering were taken care of. The wedding coordinators were a breeze to work with and very helpful. They took time to understand what we were looking for and accommodating our wishes.

wedding for a deployment, to finally having the real wedding a year and a half later, the staff was so supportive and easy to work with. The weeks leading up and the day of the wedding the staff continued to always make sure we were on the same page and point out things that I would have forgot to consider. The venue was beautiful and the staff made the wedding go seemlessly.
Great response time when emailing wedding coordinators. Fun venue, charming interior with outdoor area as well. Great food and service, and great bar tending. Loved it!

ng was very reasonable and the results were excellent. The wedding coordinators were there every step of the way, made sure everything went smoothly and to our requests, and took care of every last minute details and issues. The food was truly delicious and plentiful. The facility is versatile and functional, flipping the wedding chapel into a beautiful reception seamlessly. All the requested decorations exactly placed. You are even allowed to bring in adult beverages to be served by their staff. They really went above and beyond. They helped take down and pack up all the decorations and we were out at a decent hour. I have no complaints and can only highly recommend this venue to those that want a beautiful, classy wedding that won't break the bank. When pricing them and others, remember you are not only getting a facility and catering, but people that will be able to guide you through the process and allow you to enjoy the big day as well.
