Rick at Mystic Dunes was fantastic! He answered every question I sent him (and there were many) throughout the entire planning process. Rick was very open, communicative and set up several planning meetings to make sure we had everything we wanted to create the perfect Pakistani-American fusion wedding. Rick was so easy to work with, had great energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. When the weather turned to rain for our outdoor ceremony he didn't waste a single second and saved the day. He also went out of his way to learn Pakistani/Muslim traditions and was very open and respectful of dietary restrictions and everything else. Rick and his staff made sure everything went smoothly for our perfect day!

We loved having our wedding at the Bella Cosa Lakeside Wedding Venue. The staff was very efficient, helpful, and detailed in their communication throughout the planning process, which made things smooth and stress-free leading up to the big day. The venue itself is gorgeous with its natural beauty and classic charm. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding and photos. The team did a great job helping us set up everything just how we envisioned while also being hands-off during the actual event so we could relax and soak in every moment with our loved ones.
