“The staff at Galaxy did a great job working with us to customize our booking for our small wedding. We booked the Wine Cellar which was the perfect size for a small, intimate reception and we still had plenty of room to add bar service. Our bartender was fantastic and really added to the fun of our event, and the other staff were super attentive and great to work with as well. The food was fantastic and our guests really enjoyed the whole evening.”

“Working with Angelica was an absolute pleasure! She brought our vision to life perfectly—the ceremony and reception were everything we hoped for and truly beautiful. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Communication was smooth and responsive throughout the entire process. Having access to the patio all night, complete with the furniture and bar cart, was a huge hit—especially for our older guests who appreciated having a comfortable space to relax and chat while others danced the night away. The courtyard was a great area to get photos too!!”
