Mehndi / rehearsal dinner
The venue was beautiful, the staff was helpful, the room set up was just exactly what was needed. The caterer was an outside vendor (Marsala Art) and the food was amazing. Everyone raved about it. Hoping their experience with the Hotel was also positive. Everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks to Kari and everyone involved in making the evening a success
