"We wanted to send a heartfelt "Thank You!" to everyone at Butterfly Pavilion for working with us to create a magical Fundraising Gala on October 4th! Everything went amazingly, with issues being resolved quickly and mostly unseen. The BP team was on hand every time we needed them, with readily available answers and solutions. Our community had so much fun, and the cockroach races were definitely a HUGE hit! From the first email that we sent requesting information about utilizing Butterfly Pavilion for our event, your entire team has been gracious, helpful and supportive. You have an amazing Events team!"
