Wedding of our dreams!

Rafters was the first and ONLY venue we looked at for our big day, and we instantly knew it was the perfect place.
Working with Mary Beth leading up to our wedding was such a pleasure and she made the process so easy and stress free.
Every detail was perfect, and I wish I could do it all again!
