Awarded Best of Zola
“Our wedding day was everything and more! I loved working with the team at David L. Baker. From Amber's in-depth tours to Hannah's thorough planning. I couldn't ask for a better wedding day. Hannah and her entire staff were so helpful the day of the event. They made sure every step of the way we were being taken care of. They went above and beyond when helping set up, even when it wasn't their responsibility to and it didn't stop there - the entire rest of the night was spent making sure whenever they could help they did. We couldn't recommend David L. Baker more. If you are looking for a wedding venue with an amazing and helpful staff this is the place to book!”
