“We really cannot recommend our experience with DESTIHL enough! We planned both an outdoor ceremony on the grounds, and our reception in the Barrel Room, and felt like we had the most wonderful wedding day with friends and family (especially impressive during the COVID-19 period). You simply cannot beat the quality of food and bar offerings that DESTIHL offers to its guest. That, accompanied by the exceptional service of all the staff we worked with on our big day, really made it such an easy day for us. The cherry on top of the service, is that the staff allowed for us to pull vehicles into a garage bay to leave our reception as it was pouring rain outside - they truly went above and beyond. We are so excited to be working with them again next year, for our full reception for our first anniversary!”
