We had our daughter’s wedding and reception in the Grande and Poco Cabo room. Everything was perfect from the planning process to the service and food at the event. This venue is a very affordable and viable option for any event. Being in Old Town also made it very convenient and fun for our out of town guests who stayed the weekend there. Please give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!
