    The Benison was absolutely wonderful. One of my favorite parts of my wedding day was working with the fabulous staff. Mandy and Melissa were absolutely incredible and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. They were so kind to talk to and work with. I can't recommend The Benison enough! We loved it and not only was it beautiful, but SO easy to work with and feel comfortable. Loved loved loved this location and would pick it a million more times.
