Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- With its eight-acre park-like setting, this charming private events venue feels like an escape into a fairytale, complete with a sparkling pond, bountiful seasonal blooms, and even a winding creek spanned by vintage footbridges.
- Your rental includes use of the entire, beautiful space, including the pond side pergola, a graceful tent, rustic-glam pavilion, and so much more. You're free to use the spots however you wish to create a celebration that matches your personal needs and style.
- Their awesome, flexible packages are designed to save you time and money, and include some unexpected extras, like day-of hair and makeup services in the glamorous on-site salon.
