This was truly the venue of our dreams! From the moment we had our initial tour, Megan was such a pleasure to work with and helped make our wedding dreams a reality. She always quickly responded to any questions we had throughout the process and frequently checked in with us during our many months of planning to ensure we had all of our bases covered. Everyone at the ballroom felt like a good friend the moment you met them -- from the bartenders to our maître d', Savannah, everyone was so friendly and excited to help us celebrate our big day. The staff truly made everything seamless, and my husband and I (and our families!) barely had to think or worry about anything throughout the night. We have gotten nothing but rave reviews about the ballroom and food, and Finley Catering helped make it all possible!
