Awarded Best of Zola
Never did I imagine that my husband and l's big day would be such an amazing stress free event. Destiny and her team at the Postmark left a big imprint on our hearts and made us feel like we were a part of the teams family. Never once did they rush us or push us to do anything we never wanted. Destiny gave us some amazing recommendations on floor plans, ideas for decor and helped us through every step of the way and did it all with a smile. Any questions I had? Instantly answered with ease and then some. Not even did I gain a beautiful memory and a beautiful place for pictures, but a few friends along the way! If I could go back and relive our big day I would do it in a heartbeat knowing that there was so much love and hard work shared between us, the Venue and the wonderful team with us. I couldn't recommend anyone else to celebrate our day with!
