Wow, is the only word that comes to mind from our wedding day. Besides the fact that the “Hill Top” ceremony/reception site and the property itself, was everything we could have wanted and envisioned for our big day, Rose Gallagher was everything and made our whole experience even more memorable. We received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and more on how fantastic Rose and the staff were. Weddings are a big deal, and we cannot thank everyone at the Gallagher property for helping making our day perfect! Highly recommend tying the knot here, you won’t regret a single thing.
