The food was great. The venue was everything my Fiancee and I want in a wedding. This wedding redeemed the wedding I went to at a different venue the Biltmore and I was sick for like 3 months in and out of the Drs/ Hospital. The staff were all friendly and very attentive.

My husband and I can’t thank Talya and the Cotali Mar family enough for everything they have done for us on our wedding day. It was absolutely beautiful and everything I had envisioned and more for my wedding day. On our wedding day we had a last minute issue with one of our vendors. Talya and the whole Cotali Mar family stepped in right away and helped out in anyway possible. They were extremely helpful, kind and attentive to us throughout the evening/night. If you are looking for a reception for your wedding day look no further. You most certainly will not be disappointed with Cotali Mar. I wish I could relive our wedding day over and over again. THANK YOU Cotali Mar for making our wedding day so so special!!
