Wonderful and magical wedding venue. The catering was so over the top. We had such an amazing cocktail round with premium quality cold cuts, and the dinner was lavish. That was not enough, the nighttime dessert was mind-blowing. Everything tasted good and came in a tremendous quantity. I was there as a wedding guest. I was so happy!
