Best decision made right behind my husband

I cannot say enough to explain my appreciation for The Refinery. From early planning to the hectic wedding day where I looked like a deer in headlights the entire time, they kept me on track and focused from start to finish. The venue is beyond stunning and i did minimal additional decorations. All my guests were obsessed with the venue as well. I am so thankful that I chose this location. Price was super reasonable. I recall the location was a very tough choice, but I made the right one for sure. If the Refinery is on your list, book it and you will be so glad you did !!
