My dreams were made a reality – everything we had on paper sprang to life. They say they can make magic happen – they were not kidding ! Every single moment was perfect. From the moment I arrived with my maid of honor and bridesmaids to the most luxurious bridal suite, to walking down a whimsical aisle – being a princess in a fairy tale on Cinderellas carriage – dancing and laughing under the stars – chinese lanterns – horses …….. I honestly had dreamed of this ! The venue is stunning and the staff were truly amazing ! Diane the venue coordinator gave me ideas and helped me all the way throughout the process – she worked with our wedding planner to make our day unforgettable. It was the best experience from start to finish !
