Really good Wedding Venue with Fine Vistas

elegant setting excellent service smooth wedding

The wedding areas were beautifully decorated. They offered a very elegant setting. I specifically want to praise Jo. She provided excellent service. She even arranged private seating for my sister and the bridesmaids to enjoy the view that morning. John ensured the wedding ran smoothly. His calm demeanor was appreciated.

The TVs in rooms seemed to have limited functionality. This impacted our ability to relax fully in the evenings.

broken tv erratic shower

The TV in the room didn't work. I reported it, but nothing was done about it . That was annoying. the shower temperature was very erratic. It alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold without warning. It made showering quite unpleasant and a bit dangerous. I nearly burned myself a couple of times.
