Camelot Meadows is an absolutely stunning venue. The owner is extremely thorough and thoughtful which makes the venue an incredible place to get married. The inside is spacious, immaculately clean, and beautiful. The air conditioning in this place is impressive, especially considering how hot it was at my August wedding.

The event coordinator was also incredibly organized, available, and informative throughout the planning process.
