    When we were on the hunt for the perfect wedding venue USA Raft was number one on our list. The location was breathtaking and made for a really one of a kind experience for us and our guest. There was plenty of lodging options onsite and nearby for guest. The staff was extremely helpful and really did make our dream wedding come true.
