Surpassed Our Dreams!

I almost don’t know where to begin, except to say, this venue made all of our dreams come true, and then some. The entire process from booking to cleaning out everything the day after our wedding could not have been easier and it was all because of the event staff and our regards to all of the staff from event staff to catering staff, the chef, housekeeping, hotel and management! We and our guest were absolutely Blown away by how incredible the staff was; Attention to detail the hospitality, the organizational programming, the professionalism, and just friendliness. It honestly felt like the staff were guest at our wedding, because we got to get so close to them throughout the planning process. The coordinators everything that made me anxious and put it on their own plates. It was like they were reading my mind. If I give them all 10 stars I would.
