Beautiful venue

My daughter got married from engagement to wedding day in 3 1/2 months. They chose to get married on a a Sunday, which made the venues half price. We received a discount by booking under six months.
You do need to have a million dollars in insurance for the day. We just went through our insurance company.
You are allowed real candles on the tables. We used flameless candles.
The staff was amazing! Madison met with us and took care of the timeline and answered all of my many questions. She was kind, patient and professional with every email.
On day of, the staff seemed to be hiding, yet every time I needed them, they appeared. They helped unload our car and did it with a smile. I can't say enough good things about them.
Thank you so much!
