A Dream To Work With!

We can’t say enough about the Worthington and staff! Our wedding was a dream come true. Lisa and Angella took every vision we had made sure it was incorporated into our ceremony and reception. We decided to go with the all inclusive package with the Worthington and we would 1000% recommend it to anyone. We had an amazing time planning our wedding and never would have been able to do it without the wonderful staff of the Worthington, and vendors that we worked with! Thank you for everything.

Nothing Short of Perfect

My now husband and I got engaged June of 2022 and had our dream venue booked not too long after. We had looked at a couple other venues in the area but wanted to use some place that our friends hadn’t used yet. I stumbled upon The Worthington while we were out to eat at AMOB with family, I booked a tour the next day. Once my husband and I were shown around the property, we immediately both knew we had found our dream venue. Our ceremony took place outside in front of the giant oak tree as a beautiful focal point AND the pond in the background. Our cocktail and reception area also looked amazing and everything just looked perfect. Whether you’re dealing with Angella, Lisa or Catlyn you’ll be in the absolute BEST hands 🩵 they’re all so communicative, quick to reply and triple check everything is just as you want it. 🩷 I would come back over and over again for the venue itself and the ladies in charge. You all made our night so perfect 🤩😍 Our guests all kept saying it was the best wedding they had been to.
