Close to everything with amenities close by and is inclusive with ceremony and reception areas in the same building! Perfect, for the weather of Michigan. The location is well kept and beautiful to photograph on the grounds as well as around. Being close to parks, lakes, and downtown Vicksburg you can achieve any type of motif you want for your wedding. A real dream for any couple or photographer alike.
