You can guarantee that the wedding coordinators at The Refuge care about your big day and will put their all into making sure that your wedding runs smoothly. Christa and Lisa are attentive, professional, and always go above and beyond to ensure that your day is as perfect as you imagined. We love that there is so much opportunity for photos! If you are feeling adventurous and timing allows on your day, our studio is local, so we know lots of hidden gems for photography as well. You will not be disappointed with your Refuge wedding choice!
