Best Wedding - An Eventective User from Prince George, VA

My wedding was on 9/28/17. The Ward staff was perfect. They were able to help me set the space up for a ceremony and then reception. It was just a quick maneuver with the moveable walls. I had a blast on my wedding day. It is an absolutely gorgeous venue . The owners had flexibility with my "a la carte" planning and feasibility to work with my demanding schedule. Also, the event cordinator kept me in line with making sure I had my ABC liscense and other vendor info in time. What other venue coordinators would respond promptly to a 2 a.m. email? Noelle and her crew are simply fantastic.
