Jack & Jill

We had our Jack & Jill at Summit View this past weekend. Initially it was supposed to be outside. The weather was getting bad and we even had a tornado watch. Tony was awesome and allowed us to move the event indoors because it was open. He checked on me all night to make sure I was good. Anything I needed, Tony and Lexi were there. They make a great team. I really enjoyed Lexi and her team. They were all very accommodating and super helpful. I highly recommend the Summit View for all party and event needs.
