Literally my favorite place on Earth! I got married here in February of 2023. I book it the spring before (maybe April) so I had about 10 mos of wedding planning. During that time, I had countless conversations about literally everything with the fabulous Carmen and about 3 or 4 visits to the venue not including the initial tour for various parts of planning. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was THE ONE. Every single inch of the property is just stunning inside and out. Carmen was beyond sweet, knowledgeable, caring, helpful and fun! She danced at my wedding and I even have pictures of her and her husband in the photo booth. Speaking of her hubby, Mike is super awesome as well! The day of my wedding he checked on me to see if there was anything I needed and to see how I was doing. Every time I visited the venue he was hard at work making things more and more perfect. Any time I needed guidance or talked off a ledge, Carmen had a solution. I had a fantastic wedding planner but Carmen was the real MVP. Fast forward to my wedding weekend.. I got married on a Sunday but I stayed the night before and the night of in one of the super adorable cabins on the property (I wish I was still there). It was just absolutely peaceful and the perfect way to spend my weekend. I woke up my wedding morning and had a great massage in a beautiful setting then had the best day of my life. Everyone at Casani worked really hard and made sure everything was perfect and went off without a hitch. We were taken great care of starting with wine and charcuterie and then sent away with two Casani toasting glasses as a keepsake as well as a million wonderful memories and two new family members. We love Carmen, Mike and Casani so much that 1. we waited in line to see them at a wedding expo even though we already had them booked, 2. I keep trying to get a job there so I can hang out there with them literally all the time lol and 3. I'm trying to come up with an annual event excuse just so I can go back and do this all over again. If you are thinking of going for a tour or booking an event DO IT (and invite me)!!!! You will not regret it. I relive that weekend over and over every single day. This is not a paid endorsement, I'm just really that obsessed. I will take payment in quality time at Casani however haha!

Rick at Mystic Dunes was fantastic! He answered every question I sent him (and there were many) throughout the entire planning process. Rick was very open, communicative and set up several planning meetings to make sure we had everything we wanted to create the perfect Pakistani-American fusion wedding. Rick was so easy to work with, had great energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. When the weather turned to rain for our outdoor ceremony he didn't waste a single second and saved the day. He also went out of his way to learn Pakistani/Muslim traditions and was very open and respectful of dietary restrictions and everything else. Rick and his staff made sure everything went smoothly for our perfect day!
