I had such a beautiful day. My fiancé and I couldn't have picked a better venue. The staff was lovely and welcoming from day one. Mrs Lauren was always so sweet to us and went above and beyond to make it the best day she could. I cry a bit writing this because I'm so happy and the memories I can cherish of this special day will be with me for a lifetime. All of the staff was so sweet. And they tried to accommodate what requests they could. The grounds are beautiful there. My only complaint is that I wish more people would have been able to attend to see how magical that they made this day for us.
