Mary Kay and Chet are top notch! Their home is beautiful and they opened it up to us for our special day. Offering help and suggesting ideas along the way helped to ease my mind.

The grounds were beautiful, the horseback riding was very enjoyable, lunch, wine, and cheese tasting was delicious, and the people in the group made the whole day even more special. I would definitely recommend this amazing place to anyone who is lookin... read more
