KELLIE & PAUL

“From the moment we inquired with the venue, through all the planning, execution, and clean-up of the wedding day, we had an amazing experience working with the team…The food was delicious, the drinks tasted great and the staff who worked our event were so friendly. Our guests spoke very highly of the staff and they took great care of us throughout the night.”
