My husband and I are so happy that we decided to use Harris Glen as our venue! The venue itself is beautiful and everything we wanted. The site is covered in flowers and foliage and give off a very "European" feel. The bridal suite is cute and quaint and was perfect for "getting ready pictures". Elizabeth was very communicative and tried very hard to accommodate the vision that we had. I wanted the ceremony in a wooded area that Liz had not planned on using as a ceremony site, but she made it happen and it was beautiful and everything we wanted. Liz allowed us to come visit the venue several times prior to our wedding day to ensure we were comfortable and happy with the way our wedding day would go. The venue provides a "month of" wedding coordinator that is included in the price of the venue. The coordinator Tonya is awesome! When we met with her for the first time she swept our worries and anxieties away. Tonya and Elizabeth worked very hard to ensure a wonderful and perfect day. I appreciate them so much and our wedding day couldn't have been more beautiful.
