We were so happy that we choose this venue. Whenever we had a question, ​Megan and Braidyn were quick to answer and so helpful. The best part is that they were helpful in picking the table decor. I was confused and lost and having their help plus being able to use their decor was a lifesaver. We wanted a Slytherin Harry Potter-themed wedding and they made that dream come true. They are truly the best ever!
