From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the one. We loved the rustic yet modern look and every staff member we encountered was very nice and helpful. Jazmine was super attentive to all our needs leading up to the wedding day. DJ, the kitchen captain, was super welcoming and made sure we were well fed on our wedding day. Overall this venue exceeded our expectations. Everything was beautiful and perfect!

I married in 2018. September in this place. When I ask inquiries, quick response and easy to book appointment. Very affordable price for us with special holiday discount. Large own parking lot-no confusion and no charging fee. Large hall with high ceiling, extra room for catering service which available bring my own choice. I have option to choose that do ceremony inside or outside. I chose outside yard area right in front of the venue. There is a nice wood arch in there so I decorated with flower and white curtains. They offered table and chairs that what I needed and setting before on time . Wood floor for dance space too. Large windows I can see that beautiful green trees with large golf yard. We has photo shot in there too. It came out so beautifully with nature! My wedding was so perfect in this place. High recommended.
