Awarded Best of Zola
Guaranteed to be the most fun and unique wedding there is! The location is beautiful and has various options for ceremony and cocktail hour, plus Canopy Gardens Hall is a beautiful building. You get all the charm of an outdoor wedding, without having to over-decorate a bland reception tent. There are plenty of nearby hotels for ease of out-of-town guests which makes transportation more simple. Most importantly, Becky and her staff are out-of-this-world awesome. Not only are they fun, but they are patient, and understanding, and work hard to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible rain or shine! Bonus, booking with Elmwood supports Zoo Operations. If you're spending money on a wedding, some should go back to a good cause if it can right?
