Best night ever

Had my wedding this past weekend. I cannot say enough great things about them. Planning was easy, thank you Val and Erica! Our day of coordinator, Barb, was fantastic. Terri was just wonderful and so helpful during dinner and cake cutting. Colleen, our bartender, did an amazing job all night. The food was phenomenal! Thank you to all the staff who helped make our night magical. It was perfect in every way!
