Wedding family gathering

The many different buildings were great! They accommodated each family unit, and we gathered together in the sanctuary. Parking was a bit of a struggle, but we managed. It was great to be all in one location, and be comfortable. Loved eating our meals together as family and friends. A very unique property, and well done.
