The staff always kept us well informed. We loved our day of coordinator, she was all godsend. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The food was amazing. We loved everything about our experience as well as all of our family and friends. Ms. Helen went above and beyond. She was always available when I needed her most. I was a wreck when it was supposed to rain on our day, but she sent me the sweetest reassurance. I'll be forever grateful to Uptown for my wonderful wedding day.
