THANK YOU MacGregor Downs and Cheyenne!

We held our belated wedding reception at MacGregor Downs on 9/29. We just want to extend a huge thank you to Cheyenne Tatro & the MacGregor Downs team for facilitating every single detail to make our day special. Thank you for making our reception amazing! There were so many things to be figured out, logistics - everyone had so much fun and you helped us make such wonderful memories. You set stuff up for us as if you read my mind, which helped so much on the day of. I don’t know how to express how meaningful this was for us. Our hearts are so warm thinking about all you did to make our day special - thank you!!!
