    Made my wedding amazing!

    Rit and his staff made our wedding day fantastic!! His staff was unbelievable to great us with a toast after the ceremony, to making sure the whole day was perfect! One of his staff members Pat was the best thing that whole day! Making sure we had a drink the whole time, to bring out appetizers when we were taking pictures, to wrapping up our food at the end of the night! She was amazing!!! The Waters Edge I would recommend over and over and over again for someone getting married, or having a party! Incredible!!
