We had a lovely outdoor wedding reception in the backyard. This was during the pandemic so we only invited around 20 people although many more people can fit there. The backyard is quite spacious, the tables and chairs there have either a canopy or patio umbrella which is great in case it rains. There is a barbecue grill, and lots of room on the grass for dancing. During event prep, the open concept in the house is great for communication (and socializing). The kitchen also has a lot of surface space for food prep which makes a huge difference. The house inside is spotless and gorgeous, the couches very comfortable, and there's Netflix. It's a great place! Thank you again Paulette for your generosity and hospitality, we couldn't have asked for a more supportive host!
