I signed a contract here before the pandemic. I gave them a large deposit. The were closed for the day of my wedding. The owner told me they would save my money for a later credit. I was ready to get catering from this place and they basically told me to screw off. They lied and manulated. Don't give ur money to this place

I attended a wedding here and was severely disappointed. The food wasn't seasoned at all and the drinks at the bar were made weak until we had about 7+. The lighting was really poor, making it hard to take quality photos and the banquet halls were outdated. The only upside is that this venue was able to accommodate a wedding that was planned in only 4 months.

Couldn't recommend this place enough. Had my wedding there and food was amazing- we got many compliments about it. Everything was set up perfectly and so beautiful. The coordinators are very organized and make sure they cater to all of your wants and needs.
