On September 15, 2017 we were thrilled to host the lovely fall wedding of Amy Van Etton and Tyrone Heppard.

Amy and Tyrone held their ceremony on our patio, which is a beautiful, intimate alternative to our courtyard for smaller gatherings.

After the ceremony, the new Mr. and Mrs. Heppard headed out to the courtyard to take photos while their guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres with the animals in our indoor zoo.
