The Dalisa’s were actually married here at the Monte Verde Inn and fell in love with the beautiful facility and the dream of owning & operating it together. Years later their dream came true and now they make every effort to have your dream wedding or event be everything and more then you imagined. Upon acquiring the Monte Verde Inn the Dalisa’s have made substantial investments into upgrading the facility and services of what was already considered the premier wedding & banquet site in the area.
