Very excited for our May 1st reception here! Such a beautiful venue and at an amazing price. Gorgeous commercial kitchen for caterers, large bathrooms, and very close to a hotel for out if town guest. So glad we found this little gem!

Beautiful venue, not very professional

We had our wedding here in October of 2023. When we coordinated the wedding and reception with Ken, we felt very confident in the services and were excited. We were told that the library room would be for my bridal party and the groom and his groomsman would be in the church. We even paid extra for the organist and these accommodations. The day before during the rehearsal, there was the wedding coordinator who we had never spoken to until this day. She seemed friendly but didn't give us much direction or insight into how to go about the ceremony. When I arrived the day of the wedding and went to go into the bridal suite area, we were told that it wasn't included and we had to get ready in a weird office area. It felt too open to get changed and I had to get into my wedding dress in a bathroom stall. I didnt let it ruin the day but over a year later and it still bothers me that we were told two different things and paid extra for nothing. Other than that the ceremony was beautiful and the reception hall was lovely, I would have liked a little more help getting the best use of the hall but we made due for never having planned a wedding before.
