“Southwick is not only a great place to go for a fun summer activity, but it was also the best venue I could have ever asked for. They are beyond helpful throughout the whole process- beginning to end. Sarah is an amazing coordinator in every sense of the word. Heather is incredible at what she does as well, really loved having her as my bridal attendant. They did a beautiful job with my wedding and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Southwick!”
