“We don’t have the words to perfectly sum up how absolutely wonderful our weekend was, not only for ourselves but for all the guests. Without a doubt you helped in creating the best atmosphere we could’ve asked for in such a gorgeous hotel. It certainly was “A home away from home” and to us, you felt like a part of the family.
Thank you so much for being so relaxed (but attentive). Everything was expertly smooth. A perfect combination of style AND substance.”
