    This place is drop dead GORGEOUS!! Everything you could want for a classy, rustic, and elegant wedding. I cannot put enough good words about this place. And OH MY GOD the food!!! Absolutely delicious, everything was served hot but so fresh tasting as if it was done minutes before it was served. Very impressed by this beautiful venue. If I ever get married again, I'll come back! That's how good it was!!
