My only complaint about dealing with the Dawes house was that my contact only worked part time, so sometimes it took a little while to get a hold of her. Email works better than phone. Other than that, I was extremely happy with how everything turned out. The venue itself is beautiful, and my photographer could not get over the lighting and the richness of the colors inside. We had a ceremony for 30 people and it was beautiful intimate setting. I absolutely loved it!
