Such a fantastic venue with great staff!

The Gailes made our day completely magical. We got married outside at the gazebo, but they set up indoors and outdoors to allow me to make the decision an hour before the ceremony based on the weather.

They made sure they had in the drinks in that we requested.

Jamie, Kathleen and the staff all made sure our day ran so smoothly.

The only slight thing to note is that the “breast of chicken” option on the menu was actually served as chicken on the bone to a lot of our guests, which a few did complain to us about so I would confirm with staff about this before your big day.

But otherwise we really couldn’t fault the whole venue.

The extra room for the kids to play in was such a hit as well, and the honeymoon suite is ideal for the morning getting ready.

The wedding venue is also completely wheelchair friendly, but I would note that the disabled rooms in the hotel are not as they have baths and not walk in showers.
