Wedding day

This experience was so amazing because of emily. She helped me through all my questions and was more than accommodating. I loved the Thoroughbred center. It was beautiful the day of the wedding. Emily made decorating the venue so easy and helped with anything we needed.

Emily and Megan were the best

I cannot say enough great things about these two and the venue in general. From day one they answered all of my questions in a quick manner. They walked me through the entire process and were with us all weekend through decorating the main event and clean up. Emily even stood in the bridal suite with me and helped calm my nerves right before I walked down the aisle. They went above and beyond in every aspect. The venue if beautiful and made for great pictures.

Caring staff

Working with Emily and Megan and their team has been a super experience. They work very hard to ensure that you have nothing short of a wonderful day and do so with a smile on their faces. It is obvious they love doing what they do and the fun they have doing it!
