Great experience!

An excellent experience from beginning to end. Tyler put us at ease from the moment we walked in for a tour. It became clear right away that we couldn't possibly have our wedding anywhere else. Highgate is a very special place. They made a stressful process easy and fun. Our guests loved this venue as well.
