Awarded Best of Zola
CTA is a beautiful venue nestled away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet easily accessible. The owners and staff were amazing to work with and their preferred vendor list made planning our wedding a breeze! If you want a quaint, lakeside wedding on a private lake, this is the place for you. The bridal suite was large and functional. The guys also had their own getting-ready area on the second level of the grain bin, which was such a cool feature. 10/10!
