The DeSoto House Hotel was the perfect backdrop for my dream wedding.
It was perfection from start to finish. The staff was there to attend to every need.  My guests are still talking about the great time.  It was my “Fairy Tale” come true.  Can’t wait to celebrate every anniversary there.  A very special place for us.
