Weddings: Imagine the thrill as you wait for the music to begin. You are standing under a clematis-​draped arbor as your guests are seated in a picturesque garden crowned with a stunning gazebo surrounded by fragrant blooming bushes… lovely music begins, and you have to smile as you watch your flower girl throwing rose petals up in the air, and giggling as they fall down all around her. Your handsome groom nervously awaits your walk down the aisle strewn with petals and lined with the happy faces of friends and family. As you reach his side, a gentle breeze gently moves the garland of tulle draped around the gazebo. Everything is as you pictured it. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and it’s a day to be filled with the most magnificent memories you can imagine.

If this is the kind of memory that you would like to have of your wedding, then getting married in our outdoor gazebo is just right for you! We invite you to call us today at (269) 372‑2203 and request you
