Weddings AND Anniversaries - YESSSSSS

Celebrated a small and intimate fall wedding - and it was exactly what my husband and I wished for. The food, the classy decor, the etiquette and the extreme attention to detail made the day not only memorable but didn't turn me into a bridezilla. Everything was taken care of by the staff and we didn't have to follow up about any of our special custom requests made beforehand.

Would highly recommend for any occasion - so many spaces to choose from and I'm definitely coming back to celebrate our anniversaries with the family!

Highly recommend!

The team here is wonderful to work with and clearly very experienced with weddings. They are knowledgeable, professional, and offer helpful recommendations. Minnie is especially great and helped ease my mind, which made a big difference.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
