Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very first planning meeting, the team was incredibly responsive, attentive, and friendly in helping us bring our vision to life. The value they provided was unmatched - the naturally beautiful space required minimal additional decor, and the add-ons like the photo both and cold touch sparklers were very memorable. We felt like no small detail was missed thanks to Ashley, Austin, Aubree, Devin, Ireland, Kylie, Makenna, Mikayla, Austin (our DJ&MC), and DJ (our banquet coordinator). They truly feel like family by the end of it all. We are forever thankful to the entire Galway Downs team for making our wedding day so special and stress-free.

The vendors recommended by Portofino were excellent . It was a small wedding (23) with immediate family and everyone had a great time. The venue, food and staff absolutely terrific!

The Outpost was an absolute pleasure to work with as a wedding vendor. Their communication style was very clear, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and attention to detail was superb - the property was super clean and beautifully groomed, providing the perfect setting for our intimate outdoor event. Despite a myriad of potential issues due to acts of God, the team at The Outpost made everyone on their property, from guests, and vendors to the bridal party, feel comfortable and at ease.
