Testimonial about the venue:
“Shortly after getting engaged, I came across this venue and was in awe of how it perfectly captured exactly what I envisioned for a wedding day venue. The space is simultaneously a blank canvas but also decorated in an equally subtle and notable elegance. When my now-husband and I initially toured the venue, seeing the space in person sealed our confidence in utilizing the venue. The space is gorgeous, elegant, clean and the suite set off from the ballroom is the perfect spot for bride, groom and wedding party to have as a “home base”/retreat location during the day of. (I have to stress, when picking a venue location, having a private space to use will be an important element, it was for me, at least.) We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue. When we chose them for our venue, we were in connection with two wonderful and supportive contacts: Emmanuelle and Felicia. Both Emmanuelle and Felicia answered our endless questions and helped us finalize what we’d need from the venue to have an incredible wedding day. The team was professional and timely in communication. They were also immensely accommodating during the planning process, for our rehearsal and on our big day! On our wedding day, all of the event staff present was kind, enthusiastic and we are so grateful for their team. Choosing this gorgeous space for the venue to celebrate our loving union was a choice I’d make again.”

Testimonial about event planning:
“My now-husband and I were connected with Emmanuelle through our wedding venue. We are so fortunate we had Emmanuelle available as a valuable resource/"go-to" person during our wedding planning period. Since she's connected the venue we chose, Emmanuelle was supportive in ensuring we had what we needed and wanted from our venue for our wedding day. In addition, Emmanuelle helped us navigate and troubleshoot solutions for some rocky terrain that popped up unexpectedly during our wedding planning. She is so caring, supportive, enthusiastic and a wealth of wedding planning knowledge. I highly recommend utilizing her experience to support the planning and coordination of major events.”
