“Booking the venue is probably the biggest wedding-planning decision there is. It’s ridiculously nerve-wracking. But I knew it would all turn out okay because you were on the other side of the desk promising, ‘We will take care of you.’” – Katherine

WELCOME
A Toast to Love
Since 2011, we’ve received the Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire based on reviews from our happy couples. For 3 years running, we’ve been awarded The Knot’s “Best of Weddings” distinction. “To get this type of value is one thing... to get this type of service with the value is rare.” – Sarah + Mike
Here comes the bride... Your bridesmaids have entered, the wedding march has begun to play, and your heart is pounding. The Maitre d’ opens the doors and everyone stands in unison to greet you. With smiles and tears, they watch you float down the aisle toward your true love. It’s your moment.

“We LOVE LOVE LOVE them! My husband has asked ten times if we can get married again because it was so amazing!” – Elizabeth “I did not have the opportunity to see what the ceremony looked like before mine took place. That’s how much trust I had in them. I saw the room filled with flowers and beautiful white lights and smiles of family and friends while walking down the aisle with my father. I was so moved. Our ceremony was beautiful.” – Gina
