I loooved working with Marta! Marta made our whole planning experience a breeze. She was extremely organized from our first day meeting her to our wedding day. Her and her team were the real deal when it came to our big day! I still hear from my wedding guests how awesome the venue and landscape was. The Northfork Estate is so different (in a good way!) from your traditional church and reception choices. If you want something out of the ordinary and outside with lots of windows and natural light, Northfork is it!
