What couples love
Coordinators are praised as attentive and genuinely caring. The spacious bridal suite easily fits the whole party plus vendors. It offers strong value — large, beautiful spaces described as affordable for the area. The catering and creative dessert options are excellent, and on-site lodging lets guests mingle all weekend.
Good to know
As a large hotel, weddings share the property with other guests and events. Minor hotel-operations hiccups are occasionally noted rather than wedding-specific issues. In-house-only catering and bar means less menu and vendor flexibility.
