My daughter and son-in-law had their wedding here Sep 20th. From the very first visit, to the caterer tastings, to having to plan for possible last minute changes from weather, and even follow-up after the event, I couldn’t recommend this venue more. It’s a BEAUTIFUL spot with excellent amenities for the couple and the bridal party. The bar staff is FABULOUS, and the food was UN! BE!! LIEVABLY!!! good. It really is a great venue, with staff that goes WAY out of their way to make sure your wedding is as close to perfect as possible.
