“Our wedding day was the absolute best day of our lives. The amazing staff at Candlewood went above and beyond to make sure of that. From the moment we booked, I was so excited to get married there. Then, when we met with (our Event Manager), he made us feel calm, excited, and ready for our big day. Two days before, we dropped off all of our decor and I told him I was a little stressed. He took extra care to walk us through the day and I left calm and excited. On our wedding day, we had two bridal attendants, they were AMAZING. I truly felt like a queen all night long. They greeted us off the bus, offered champagne and snacks in the bridal suite, would not let me walk without picking up my dress to keep it clean, held my bouquet, fixed my hair. All night, they made sure we had food and drinks. They went above and beyond. We felt that each and every one of the staff were just so genuinely excited for us and it made us very happy. I could not imagine a better day. I had many guests come up to me and tell me that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! And the food and the cake were top notch! I will be telling everyone about the beautiful venue and the wonderful staff for the rest of our lives. If you have the chance to get married here, DO IT. You will not be disappointed.”
