This venue is absolutely beautiful, and Amber and Jon do a wonderful job working with you to make your day perfect. They are easy to reach with any questions throughout the process, and are open to your ideas. We really wanted our ceremony to happen outside, and Amber and Jon were able to wait until the morning of the ceremony for us to make the call to stay outside and got everything set up outside that morning to avoid the rain the night before. They do a great job of meeting up with vendors as they arrive so you don't have to worry about it. Job did an excellent job as our DJ; the dance floor was lively all night. The bartenders were also great and accommodating to a wide variety of drink orders. Your money is well spent with this venue and the owners!
