Dumas Wedding

I had my wedding here on 9.9.23, and, the venue space is beautiful!!!! Mr. Frank and Mrs. Barbara made us feel like we were family. They were so attentive to our needs and wants. I hardly needed to buy any decorations because they had EVERYTHING!!! I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who's looking to get married soon!

Best venue we could ever ask for!

My husband and I got married this past weekend, Oct 2, and it was the best day of our lives. We largely owe that to our wonderful reception venue. We got engaged right before the pandemic and really struggled with the idea of if/when we could have a wedding and from the beginning Frank and Barbara were absolutely wonderful! They answered any questions we had and were always available to help with anything we needed! I can’t even begin to describe how beautiful the venue was. There was so much space, we never had to worry about Covid. All of our guests could not stop talking about the venue, and specifically cocktail hour. They loved the scenery! All-in-all, I couldn’t imagine our wedding day anywhere else. Frank and Barbara are the absolute best!
