My wedding day took place here on August 10th 2024, and I extend sincere gratitude to the wedding team (they are professionals!). Everything was meticulously organized, leaving me free from any worries. Our guests expressed awe at the venue's beauty and the team's attentive service. The food delighted everyone and rooms included with the wedding price impressed with cleanliness and elegance.

The shower in my assigned room was not functional. I had to use another shower in a separate room.
