Awarded Best of Zola
Colleen was our planner and she was amazing. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. We hired her for day of and it was one of the best decisions we made. The food was amazing- we got so many compliments on it. The venue itself is so pretty that you don’t really need a ton of decor. They took care of table numbers, center pieces, and the card box too which was amazing. We had such a positive experience and will recommend it to everyone.
