Great Service

Laura is great. We asked lots of questions and she answered them all. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. She gave us a ride on the gator to show us the pavilion and my kids were so excited. We are looking forward to our ceremony in April.

This was for a meditation retreat day. so we had to move all the tables and chairs out, but that did not take long. It was a beautiful experience.

This was the best process and smoothest process ever available. They kept in contact throughout the whole process and also helped us with different questions or ideas that we had. Very accommodating when it came to how we wanted our event set up.
