Working with Northern Lights for our wedding was the best choice we made during the wedding planning process! Communication was prompt and helpful throughout the whole process, and the included planning meetings also helped us a ton with all the decisions we had to make and organizing all the information. The venue provides so much that we didn't have to rent hardly anything, and our guests and vendors remarked about how beautiful the space was all day. I am so glad we found this space and I would recommend them to anyone still searching for a venue!
