The Villa is absolutely stunning. We had our ceremony in the garden and reception in the tent. It was the most perfect day we could have imagined! Ellen was our event producer - she was absolutely wonderful! She had great ideas and eased our worries. She was always prompt with replies, and very organized. Thank you for all your help and assistance through the planning process. Lauren was our bridal attendant and she was wonderful- very attentive, our entire bridal party never had an empty cup!

The Lakehouse is straight out of an interior design magazine and the waterfront property is unbeatable. Staff are friendly, professional, and accommodating. They have this business down. Our event producer, Victoria, was so helpful throughout the entire process, always timely with her replies to our various questions that came up along the way. Sapphire Event Group provides the service of a bridal attendant the day of the wedding and mine, Becky, was a huge help relieving stress and keeping me looking and feeling my best all night!
