Best day, ever!

We had our wedding at The Mainland and truly couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, the entire team was excellent. They're responsive, helpful, and kind. They answered every question we had promptly and even offered tips on how to decorate and personalize our day.

Mel, Tyra, Kim, and Maria were an absolute dream team. They made the planning process feel easy and stress-free, and on the day of, everything flowed perfectly. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the Terrace Room was absolutely gorgeous.

We’ve received so many compliments from our guests, and we honestly have nothing but great things to say. Highly recommend The Mainland to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and a truly supportive, professional team behind them!
