Awarded Best of Zola
This venue is beautiful and accommodating. Up to 20 guests can stay at the venue. We booked it for 2 nights. We had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at GRIR the night before our wedding and stayed overnight again after the wedding. We had the most beautiful 360 degree sunsets both nights. The weather was perfect. We were allowed to have our dogs in our ceremony. Everything worked out great. Mike the owner did a fantastic job with vendor suggestions. He’s very professional and helpful.
