Our experience at The National Aviary was perfect. From the moment we toured The Aviary until the day after our wedding when we picked up our items, everything was amazing. The staff really catered to us and made every step of the process go smoothly. The tools they provide for how to set up the tables and stay organized were wonderful. The day off they helped keep me focused and kept everything flowing perfectly. The building is beautiful and getting married in the garden in the fall was everything I pictured for our big day. The food was also incredible. Every one of my friends who had attended multiple weddings that year said the food at ours was by far the best. Atrias made everything perfect! I cannot recommend The National Aviary enough!!!!
