Rick at Mystic Dunes was fantastic! He answered every question I sent him (and there were many) throughout the entire planning process. Rick was very open, communicative and set up several planning meetings to make sure we had everything we wanted to create the perfect Pakistani-American fusion wedding. Rick was so easy to work with, had great energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. When the weather turned to rain for our outdoor ceremony he didn't waste a single second and saved the day. He also went out of his way to learn Pakistani/Muslim traditions and was very open and respectful of dietary restrictions and everything else. Rick and his staff made sure everything went smoothly for our perfect day!
