Perfect space

The space was huge and gorgeous. The staff is was so kind and attentive during the touring process and contract negotiations. I did a January wedding so I got the space for half off.

Amazing Venue

Beautiful venue and great staff! Courtney and Amy were excellent in responding to us with any questions and concerns and we were there to be of any assistance with any venue related needs on the wedding day. We rented for two days and were able to set up the venue Friday and do the rehearsal dinner that night. The back deck has beautiful views of the pagan river and it made for a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony.

Amazing location & value

Nice, open & spacious area inside - perfect for reception. We had the ceremony on the deck with one of their suites as a back up plan for rain. They let us use their ficus trees that had lights in them. Agreeable, knowledgable & flexible employees.

I had 14 guest tables, plus the bridal party tables, a buffet line, DJ station on their stage, plus a cake table.

They have a lot to offer for rental, outside of the rental price for the whole venue.
