From the moment I met Marcela, the Handlery coordinator, I knew our experience would be memorable for all the right reasons. She was attentive and patient with all our questions and was quick to get back to our emails. The venue itself is lovely, especially the outdoor wedding gazebo. The reception area perfectly accommodated our guests and the staff were extremely attentive and professional. They worked well with all of our vendors and there were no complications at all. The extra perk of staying in a honeymoon suite as part of the package was a lovely surprise as well. Definitely give them a try.

If you're looking for great Chinese seafood dishes for a big banquet, this is your space. We booked in advanced a few months and Randy, the manager helped us through the full process. We had a dance floor, 13 tables (10 seats per table) and wonderful food for all our guests to enjoy. Jasmine met our expectations and then some. As the bride, I had selfish allergy, but the peking duck and steak cubes I had, was amazing. From the amount of guests we had and the feedback we got, everyone LOVED the food. We hope more people give Jasmine a try as their wedding venue. My husband and his family even came back for dinner the next. day and enjoyed the meal immensely.
