Best Day Ever
Oh man, our wedding day was epic and may have been the best day of my life. Everything was so seamless and well planned out. People had a wonderful time and absolutely raved about the food (and they loved Thor, of course lol).
Highly Recommend!
We just returned from a weekend at Schweitzer for our son’s wedding. From the minute we checked in to the clean up on Sunday every staff member was polite, helpful, productive and fun. This includes everyone; front desk, security driver of the golf cart, banquet and catering people, servers, lift operators, we couldn’t have asked for better service from any of them. I would highly recommend an event at Schweitzer.
