“My husband and I loved this venue from the moment we walked in, we didn’t look at any others before booking! We fell more in love with it every time we toured the place. Truly unique and so romantic with indoor and outdoor options for the ceremony. We ended up having to do our ceremony inside in the wine cellar bc of the weather but we were so glad we did! The food was great and the staff was soooo nice. The chef and venue coordinator were flexible about mostly everything. Our only complaint was that the size and floor plan of the venue made it hard to use a band with the number of guests we had, which is something we really wanted from the beginning (and were told it was doable), but the venue coordinator wasn’t very helpful in trying to make that work when the time came. However we loved our DJ and used the extra funds for a raw bar at cocktail hour which people appreciated, so it worked out. We commemorated our wedding day by buying a piece of art from the walls which was really special. I’d recommend this venue to anyone for any type of event!”

“There are very few magical people one encounters in their lifetime. Stephanie is one of those people. She promised us on the first day we met her our wedding day would be the best day of our lives and this promise did not fall short! From the moment we decided to have Stephanie coordinate our wedding up until our wedding day there was never a doubt in our minds we were in the best hands. Her meticulous attention to each detail, ability to use her industry contacts to get things done efficiently, and passion for event coordination shown through in everything she did. She had a vision of what a perfect wedding day would be and executed all of the small details that built this vision and made it possible. She went above and beyond what you would consider coordinator duties and even went to the town hall for us on occasions as we were long distance from the Cape! Stephanie took each step along the way to ensure we were able to avoid unnecessary costs, reduce stress, have fun, and plan an event of a lifetime. In the future any event we plan I know Stephanie would be our first choice to coordinate and she would do so flawlessly.”
