Nice venue

We planned everything in advance. We had some problems because the wedding coordinator changed a couple of times. At the end Abbie was nice and professional.
We were happy with everything but some bits went wrong during the days just for luck of attention.
Anyway, they helped us in every single step. The hotel is amazing, especially the restaurant.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
