Availability
Our wedding venue flooded due to excessive raining 24 hours prior to the wedding. Christine was able to provide a solution for our guests at a reasonable price.
We ended up not booking the venue due to timing, but they provided a much needed ray of sunshine in a crazy day.Armour House's reply:
I hope all turned out well for you on Saturday; I was sending good vibes to you all day. Wish you all the best in health and happiness! -
