“The Joel Palmer House Restaurant was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, up front and honest - they were open and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They worked closely with our other vendors to coordinate the event, and even created a specialty menu to accommodate our guests with gluten allergies and vegan diets. Chris and the whole team at the Joel Palmer House are the kindest, warmest, and most talented folks in the business! We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.”

“We had our wedding at Zesti, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about our experience. If I could give them more than five stars, I absolutely would! Mina and the entire Zesti staff were incredible to work with from start to finish. Everything was so easy, organized, and professional, which made such a huge difference when there were already a million other things to think about while planning a wedding. Whenever we had questions or needed something, they were helpful, responsive, and made us feel like we were in good hands. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and ended up being the perfect space for our wedding. We loved being able to have the ceremony outside and then move inside for the reception. Everything came together even better than we imagined, and the space looked amazing with our fall colors and decorations. Most importantly, on our actual wedding day, we were able to enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about the venue or whether everything was going according to plan. Mina and the staff helped make everything feel effortless, and our wedding turned out absolutely perfect. We are so grateful to everyone at Zesti for helping make such an important day in our lives so special. I would recommend Zesti to anyone looking for a wedding venue without hesitation. Truly a 10/10 experience!”
