“Havana Springs was an absolutely spectacular venue to have a wedding”
– Natasha Manos
“Wedding Venue Critic here! I have nothing bad to say about this venue”
New owners bent over backwards to make a torrential down poor of a day into a beautiful treasured memory. Lots of different spaces to utilize. Plenty of bathrooms! Had the entire day in one building due to 3 inches of rain. Blank canvas for decorating. All inclusive for the food, which was great. Prime rib and crusted chicken with peach salsa was great! The wedding party and some family were able to stay in the rooms on property, which were very nice, with a romantic touch. Plenty of parking.
– Martha Fachko
“I had my wedding here in April and it was absolutely a dream!”
Jennifer was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process and was very easy to work with. We also had the food catered and everything was delicious. We had our rehearsal dinner in the smaller venue and had some guests who were vegan. The chef personally came over to ask what kind of pizza they would like and made it for them that night. My husband and I stayed on the property along with some other guests which made it so easy, no need to worry about driving and the rooms were quaint and comfortable with a variety of snacks provided. Overall, the atmosphere, the food, the service, the price, and even the weather were exceptional and I would highly recommend this venue for a large or small wedding.
