    I had my wedding reception in the Zane ball room, it was hands down everything I wanted and the event coordinator was amazing and had everything under control and made the day perfect from myself getting ready and bringing glasses to my room to enjoy some champagne before the ceremony with my ladies also running to find scissors. Also they were so understanding since we got married in Aug and the weather was going back and forth on if it was going to rain. They gave us to the last min to decide if we had to do the ceremony in the same room or in the woods like we wanted. We got married in the woods and it was perfect and it started to drizzle when we were done with the pictures after the ceremony. Then we finally got to the Zane ball room which they decorated perfectly !! Listened to everything we wanted. It was so perfect and couldn’t ask for anything more. Also the staff was amazing during the reception. And this was during Covid time and overall they handled it perfectly.
