TESTIMONIALS

Hannah & Colby

Hannah & Colby

My wedding was absolutely amazing. Everything was just the way I wanted. It ended up raining that day so we had to move the wedding inside and it was able to hold all 180 people that attended. We got married on the stage and had our first dance on the stage also. All the decor was absolutely perfect that was decorated by the Wilmina Venue staff. The wine barrels and deer horns were my dream for a rustic wedding. At the end of the day, it was all incredibly special.
