Above and Beyond

Kara and her team were fantastic! From the beginning the planning was super easy and organized. Kara was available any time I had a thought or question. The day of the ceremony went smoothly. My cake which was made by a different vendor was not decorated as expected. Kara came to the rescue and fixed it! Not sure how she did it but she did. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The servers and bartender were super nice and very attentive to our needs. Everyone on staff that I encountered while there was kind and professional. Our families and friends had a great time! Thank you for a wonderful day!

Overall a great experience

The facility did an excellent job on the day of the event and our wedding went through without any issues that day. There were a few hiccups before the wedding, but those we were able to mainly resolve. The food was outstanding and everyone raved about how wonderful everything was!
