...the day was followed by a reception in Moraine Lodge with an amazing meal our guests are still raving about! Then followed by dancing till the end of the night. We also loved our luxury villa stay the night before with bridal party and then as newlyweds on our wedding night. All and all, our day was exactly what we had envisioned, and we wouldn’t have changed a single thing about it.
