Awarded Best of Zola
“We had a hard time picking a venue until the minute we walked in here. The second I saw the old fashion floors and gold coast mansion vibes I was in love. And the venue truly lived up to this love throughout our whole planning process and the day of our wedding. Jennifer (sales rep) and Mike (maitre'd) run a very tight ship and made the planning process so easy and seamless. We never felt stressed or unsure, all questions were answered swiftly, and they made all our dreams come true. The day of our wedding and even now weeks later we keep hearing from guests about how perfect the day was, how delicious the food was, and that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to.”
