Thank yo so much! We are so glad you enjoyed the experience.

So sad to see this review....as I barely remember the interaction....and it is never my intention to be inconsiderate, or uncommunicative. I was going through cancer, chemo and a double mastectomy in the middle of a pandemic. My recollection was that our first conversation was about an "elopement"....("to run away secretly with the intention of getting married …") as you stated above....which means to me, just the couple, which I am happy to do for free for people who are staying on the property. But, when the call came in a few months later, it was 20 people in the middle of a pandemic (and cancer recovery) and that was not possible. I apologize for being uncommunicative, or unclear, or "inconsiderate"....—— it was just one of those years. I hope you are now happily married and employed and that you are joyfully moving forward. The reality is that we are NOT an event venue, if we were, we would be charging huge fees like all the other event venues and advertising the place as such...so you are correct, no one should be trying to book events here. BUT it is a lovely place to visit, free or by donation, and we welcome you all to do so.
