“Ever since we walked in, it was stunning on the outside and even more on the inside. There was gorgeous furniture, coloured lighting and unique architecture… On the big day, Paige and her team were so attentive and helpful for set-up, during the banquet and clean-up. It was such a beautiful banquet and I could not be more pleased with how it turned out.”
