Gazebo and BBQ – $450.00

A lovely site for a wedding!    In past years, brides have set up folding chairs theatre style at the bottom of the steps for the ceremony.  A more informal affair could utilize the existing 10’ tables surrounding the Gazebo.  The Gazebo is a great location to set up the DJ/band/ music.  There are electrical outlets located under the wrap around benches.
