If I could give 100 stars I would! First and foremost I'd like to thank Mr. Escandon. He was so amazing! His speech was SO beautiful, he customized it for us and my family. He took the time to meet with us before the wedding to get to know exactly what we wanted, he made our ceremony 100% the best. Although it was a windy day he worked with us and made it extra special God bless, Thank you Mr. Ruben A&K

We got married here this weekend and I can't recommend it enough. We wanted a small intimate ceremony and the chapel was a great location and had a beautiful inside area. Ruben was amazing and was so helpful the entire way through. He met with us several times and took the time to explain everything to us.

Ruben just married my husband and I February 28th. The hall we used highly offered his services and it was convenient that he would come to the hall for the ceremony. When my husband and I met him to go over the ceremony he offered an abundance of different ceremonies for different couples. We chose a plain and simple ceremony. It was beautiful and intimate. Ruben made it effortless to get married. Thank you!
