    Wedding Venue that Has It All!!

    This venue has everything you need to have a no fuss wedding and reception! Japhia, the owner, always responded and communicated as a team and made our wedding day so special. The wedding venue comes with a Something Borrowed closer to help decorate without us going over budget. Security and a bartender was included in our package which was less work for me to do. Bride and Groom have their own suite to get ready in. Our wedding day turned out beautifully.
