Summary: Everything about this property is amazing -- just truly the best! We got married there last weekend, surrounded by friends and family. Everything was BEAUTIFUL. The trees are unbelievable, and the way the property lights up at night is majestic. Teresa truly went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. We will definitely be back. 10/10 recommend!!
