Made my dreams come true!

Everything I wanted and desired, they made it happen for me. The dining room staff went above and beyond to ensure that our event was perfect! The transitions were smooth, our coordinator was on site for setup and the ceremony and she was receptive of everything we were hoping for. It was the perfect venue for our small wedding.

Excellent food and venue!

Excellent wedding food and options. Food was creative, delicious, hot and served quickly to all of the guests. Wedding venue was beautiful and event planner Linda was excellent. She responded to emails quickly, professionally and went above and beyond. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.
