Unity Village helped make my dream wedding come true!
Unity Village was the perfect location and price for our wedding. The scenery was beautiful and just what me and my husband were looking for.
Angel was great to work with. She responded immediately and was very patient with us through the constant last minute changes of our wedding.
The Burnt Ends bbq was amazing and guests gave many compliments for the food, setup. decorations, and the politeness of the staff.
