“Green Gables by Trademark Venues was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful - April Sosa in particular was amazing to work with. The venue itself was beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-organized, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without stress or worry. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of both emotionally and physically, and they were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience, and we would highly recommend Green Gables to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free venue for their big day.”

“Picking a wedding venue is now easy task and I'm so grateful to have found and chosen Shadowridge. Codie & Morgan were my coordinators, and they helped me so much with the process of planning, choosing the details, timeline, and day of coordination. Codie was absolute perfection, she is so sweet and kind, she handled the day of coordination amazingly, she was there for me whenever I needed her, and she knew exactly what to do even when I had no idea! The reception hall was GORGEOUS, I loved how everything was set up, she did everything and more to help ease the stress of my wedding day! I couldn't have done this without her, Codie, I'll forever be grateful for all of your help and pure kindness. The food service was also great, we received many compliments on the cocktail hour foods and dinner service! All of the staff there were incredibly kind and nice, the bartenders, staff, chefs, bus boys, everyone was amazing. Our DJ Arnie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, he is recommended by Codie and works frequently with Shadowridge and I'm so thankful we booked him. I definitely recommend having your wedding here, they did an exceptional job and Codie was perfection. Thank you!!!”
