Where do I start? Our wedding was everything and more than we dreamed it would be. The staff at Unity and our Event Planner Angel Smith (at Unity), was nothing short of AMAZING. They were so thorough and hardworking. Angel made sure that I was calm, collected, taken care of, and truly was SO HAPPY to help me and my new husband. I used all vendors at Unity and it was SEAMLESS, even in a pandemic. If given the chance to do my day over again, I would go through Unity and work with Angel 10 times over. My guests were raving about the ceremony space, the reception space, the décor, the execution of the day, the food, everything. If you are looking for the perfect spot to get married, GO TO UNITY. Angel and her staff will go above and beyond to make sure you are loved, supported, and cared for exactly the way that you should be as a Bride or a Groom. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Perfect Setting for a Wedding
Getting married at Unity Village was so special. We picked Lowell's Garden for our ceremony on a gorgeous day in early November. The campus and gardens are so beautiful and there are lots of terrific spots for wedding pictures. We had a micro wedding due to the pandemic and the prices were extremely reasonable. Angel was our Events Project Manager at Unity Village and she was simply amazing! She showed up on our wedding day and worked tirelessly to ensure we had everything we needed to make our day perfect. We really couldn't have had such a wonderful ceremony without her! Thank you Angel for your hard work and for your kindness! Mike and I appreciate all you did for us!
