Having our wedding at the Starting Gate was a dream come true. The day went nearly perfect, with the help of Samantha Dang. She was always there during the planning to answer all of our questions and make sure our day was exactly as we imagined it. The venue was also very flexible to our schedule and needs, as we were able to get into the bridal suite early in the morning and spend the day getting ready there, which was so helpful! They provided breakfast, lunch, coffee, mimosas and other snacks for us while getting ready. The bridal suite attendant, Abbie, was so sweet and helpful all way from the early morning arrival to the start of the ceremony. Months later, our guests are still talking about the beautiful venue, great service, and delicious food.
