    Poogan's Courtyard was a wonderful venue for our wedding. Their communication style was consistent, prompt, and polite throughout the planning process, which helped ease a lot of stress. The venue itself provided a cozy and elegant backdrop for our special day. While the decor was simple, it was exactly what we envisioned. The food was absolutely delicious and raved about by our guests. Poogan's Courtyard had every detail covered so I didn't have to worry at all. Between the delicious fare, beautiful venue, and fantastic service, the cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Poogan's Courtyard for any couple looking for a venue that has everything you need to celebrate in style!

    Back in 2021, I hosted my rehearsal dinner with Poogan's Courtyard & everyone couldn't stop talking about how great it was! Now, I am able to come back as a planner for my clients fulfilling their event dreams at Poogan's Courtyard! This truly is the best venue - perfect location, wonderful people, great food, & all-inclusive! I cannot recommend them enough :)
