    Our wedding at Garver was fantastic. The guests commented that the food was amazing (we agree!) and working with Marilyn on it was amazing too. Danielle was our coordinator, and overall her communication, availability, and facilitation wer espot-on. Of course the space is gorgeous, too! Highly recommend holding your event herel
