Perfect weekend!
Couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else! GVL and all are their employees are top notch! Everything from the food to the attention to detail was perfect and the staff were so welcoming! If we had to do it again GVL would be our venue again! So much fun and love from check in to check out.
