Review Summary

Planning a wedding at this venue was a delightful experience for the happy couple, who appreciated its stunning setting and the opportunities it offered. The dedicated coordinator, Honey, played a key role in making the process smooth and enjoyable, offering timely reminders and ongoing support to reduce stress. The staff's flexibility and willingness to accommodate specific requests were highly valued, illustrating their genuine commitment to bringing wedding dreams to life—even within a budget. While minor hiccups with caterers and costs emerged—an all-too-common part of wedding planning—the team’s proactive approach and effort to find solutions kept the process positive. Overall, the couple left feeling very satisfied with how their special day turned out, highlighting the venue’s beauty, attentive service, and the importance of having a dedicated team by your side. This venue seems to be a wonderful choice for couples seeking a memorable celebration supported by professionals who truly care about making their wedding day perfect.

We were truly surprised when we heard this venue was available to host our wedding reception. We were so honored to be able to host at this absolutely amazing venue. Honey really made the process straight forward and an enjoyable experience. She would prompt us with reminder emails well ahead of time to make sure we were on the ball early and not too stressed making 'last minute' decisions. She and the staff at the NGV were accommodating to our requests and went above and beyond to make our plans a reality (our budget was the only restraint, nothing they couldn't do). There were a few hiccups along the way with caterers and costings cause let's face it: which wedding ever goes smoothly and to plan?!?! But Honey will ALWAYS try her absolute BEST to make things work and overall we are very happy with how our wedding turned out.
