“Overall - the venue was gorgeous and the food was phenomenal. Our day of wedding coordinator was the one who really knocked the entire day for myself. During pictures she was bringing us all around the venue - wanted me to take pictures in front of guests arriving - I ended up with mulch all in my dress even before walking down the aisle … overall that 30 minutes in time really left a bad taste in my mouth about the place. Another thing that wasn’t great was the coordination of other events at the venue. As my father and I were just about to walk down the aisle - another party was leaving their event and walking in our path. Not great to take away from our special moment. However - the food at this venue was absolutely phenomenal - guests are still raving about it from the apps to the starters to the dessert and late nights everything was amazing! I would say the venue needs to communicate better with not only the bride and groom but with the vendors they hire as they approach their event - as well as plan time for multiple events so there is not a cross over.”

“We truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. From getting ready onsite in the beautiful, spacious bridal party suites to celebrating under the sun in the Lower Gardens, every part of the day was so special. Gina was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She kept everything running smoothly and made sure we always knew what was happening and where we needed to be. With Gina, you truly feel like you’re in the best hands! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for our outdoor ceremony, and having our guests apple pick during cocktail hour was such a fun and unique touch. We received compliments all night about how gorgeous the property was. So many of our guests told us they had never been somewhere quite like it. It really is a hidden gem, and we feel so lucky that we got to celebrate our wedding here. We couldn’t recommend it more! ️”
