This place is a beautiful setting. Also, the staff makes it so effortless. They do set-up and clean-up. They are present to ensure all items are taken care of, but disappear into the background. My son's and daughter-in-law's wedding was on a hot day (98 degrees). However, even the out of state guests felt comfortable with the breeze, as the place is predominently in shade. The wedding can be done as fancy as you want or as casual as you want. Plan ahead and get the venue reserved well in advance.
