“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!”

“We loving having our sunning and colorful wedding at your amazing venue! Our guests talked about the views and the food and everyone had a wonderful time! The day was full of rain but it stopped just in time for the bride to walk the aisle and as we said our “I do’s” a rainbow came out and then some brief rain and then it opened up into a beautiful sunshine filled evening. We loving working with everyone here and had a stunning event. Thank you so much for your help and venue! It’s also a total steal for the price!”
