    Incredible

    Just got married at CityGate this weekend and couldn’t wait to write a review.

    Everything at our wedding was perfect.

    City Gate offered us a dream outdoor ceremony with a picturesque view of the lake followed by an outdoor cocktail hour where we could enjoy time with our friends and family. The bartenders and staff were fast, professional, and always had a smile on their face.

    After cocktail hour, dinner started and it was incredible. The amount of compliments we received from our guest about the quality and presentation of the food was off the charts.

    We followed dinner up with a million drinks and an amazing time in this incredible venue.

    The entire process from beginning to ending was seamless. Katie from City Gate worked with us and kept our minds at ease and went over and above to help every step of the way. It was very clear she takes pride in her work and we were so grateful to work with her. She is a huge asset to City Gate and the reason my Wife and I had a perfect wedding.

    I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend City Gate to anyone and everyone. Thank you!

    Absolutely amazing dream wedding!

    I cannot recommend CityGate enough! You will not regret going with them as your vendor. Our wedding was last weekend and we cannot stop talking about how amazing Katie Jones and the entire CityGate, Hotel Arista, Zorbas and Tap In Pub staff were. They made the entire process run extremely smoothly. Katie is extremely attentive, responsive and just a great person in general to work with. I can honestly say I had my dream wedding because of her. The food was amazing! We had such a fun time at the tasting and could not wait to have the food again at the wedding. Katie worked seamlessly with my other vendors so I did not have to. Us and our guests stayed at Hotel Arista, which was extremely convenient with the shuttle that brought us back and forth to CityGate. Our rehearsal dinner was at Tap In Pub- we wanted something casual and fun and it was perfect! Katie checked in on us the night before and the morning of the wedding. She coordinated the entire day, which allowed us to enjoy the wedding and not worry about a thing. Hotel Arista and CityGate provided absolute top notch service- we have ZERO complaints. The outside ceremony was everything I dreamed out. The outside patio was perfect for cocktail hour. The reception room was absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. The prices are extremely reasonable, as well. If you are newly engaged, please do yourself a favor and check out CityGate and/or Hotel Arista!
