We are very pleased to have our reception at UGC! We had a church wedding but we rented the gazebo to have our cocktail hour where guests can enjoy some acoustic music and rented some fun lawn games ! Joni, the wedding coordinator, is very accommodating and professional! She answered all our inquiries and made sure that everything is set up on the actual wedding day! The venue is soo beautiful and guests are raving how great the food is! Thank you so much Joni !

Excellent wedding venue!
Big “thank you” to Joni and the staff at UGC! Our April 2018 wedding was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have chosen a better venue. All of the staff we dealt with were so helpful and friendly. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding such a memorable day!
Joni, the event coordinator at UGC, was so helpful, and she was so organized when we met with her a month and a half before our wedding. She answered every question that we emailed her, and she responded in a timely manner every time. Joni was very accommodating with any requests that we had. We appreciated this very much. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!
In regards to the venue itself:
- We loved the gazebo, and the beautiful path/walkway down to it, and the bridge. It was a very picturesque and romantic spot to get married. The red carpet was a nice touch as well.
- The Salons room made for a beautiful reception room.
- The whole venue was very well kept and maintained.
- The food and beverage menus were impressive and well priced. It was nice having many meal options to choose from, and the variety of dishes was excellent!
- The food was excellent! A lot of our guests commented on how good it was.
- It was really nice to attend their annual tasting event as well.
We can’t say enough good things about UGC, and we will be sure to recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thanks, again!
