I had my wedding here last year and it was wonderful!!! Not only is this one of the most beautiful properties I've ever visited but the prices and accommodations were pretty fantastic too. The service was nothing but friendly and constantly worked with me to help make the wedding planning even easier. My husband and I are already planning our next stay at the Dragonfly and will surely have other future visits too as this venue also doubles as a great vacationing spot as well.
