From the moment we booked this place we knew we made the right choice. Kacey, our Event Producer, was PHENOMENAL from start to finish. Everything about the staff and the space was incredible. They handled everything day-of, seamlessly coordinating with our vendors, and organizing decor, timeline and tasks. The food was also fantastic, as were the desserts! Our attendants that day were super helpful and all of our guests loved the venue and the way everything flowed so effortlessly that day, truly perfect. The picture of elegance and timelessness.
