• What Our Guests Have to Say •

The Banquet staff, and you all did a fabulous job! The room was set-up perfect! Everyone has made compliments on the facilities and especially the food! I think I was a little bummed out I had that many last minute cancellations/no-shows, but those things happen. Between my older crowd and friends with small children the dance floor died off quick, but it was fun to see you all up there along with my photographer and her daughter. What matters is Troy and I really enjoyed our day and our reception, we were out dancing. I knew it would go fast, but it just went too fast. Post wedding blues set in especially when the last of the family from out of town left on Monday, so I am glad we didn’t leave on our honeymoon right away. We leave later this month for our cruise. Despite all the chaos from family being sick, and last minute issues with Troy’s back, etc. we had the best day.

I will certainly keep you in mind, my parents have a 50th wedding anniversary coming up in 2025.

I will miss talking to you.

- The room was set-up perfect!

A huge thank you to you and your staff members for assisting us with throwing a wonderful shower! It was truly a beautiful day! All of your staff members were so nice and accommodating and even packed up a dinner for my grandfather who was unable to attend.

 

Now we wait for our sweet girl’s arrival in a few short weeks!

 

With gratitude,

- It was truly a beautiful day!

Our wedding was suppose to be held outside in the garden but unfortunately you can’t stop rain from happening. Maryann and her staff was wonderful how they transform the ballroom so we can have a beautiful wedding!
