    It was a wonderful Venue, and Cassandra answered all the questions we had (we had to be sure of everything so we didn't mess up , so sorry ). The plaza and stage is a great spot , we also had the community room but felt like we didn't actually need that much. Overall, we had a wonderful time at this location. Many many thanks to staff for putting up with us, We are so Grateful and Thankful.
