Trisha is very responsive & made sure no detail was missed

Overlook met my budget and exceeded my expectations! Turnkey wedding isnt enough to describe how much they can take care of so we could focus on us. Our guests were absolutely stunned to see how beautiful the venue was and the food was hot, fresh and delicious. We were so pleased with them and all their staffs hard work.
