From all the special touches to the beauty of the Captain Ferris House everything is amazing. Carol took all the stress away from me to help plan the best wedding ever for my son and his wife! Everything from the beautiful room, to the ceremony, cake, flowers, toast and venue were all the best. Carol and Jeff are great people. We thank them so much for making this wedding so memorable!"
