great wedding venue

Hidden Gem was amazing. The venue is beautiful, the decorating was absolutely gorgeous and food delicious. Most importantly Carmen and her team were great to work with. They sought our feedback when they made changes, offered suggestions but most importantly they were dedicated to creating a memorable experience for all. Carmen was thoughtful and professional. Great experience!
