Cheap looking for a Wedding
by BlondieLv at Citysearch
I attended a wedding here and i could not believe how cheaply done it was. the 'enchanted garden' was poorly created for such a creative writer. do not have your wedding here. enjoy the $5 tour and be done.

- Cons: parking, ambience, garden, wedding
