Classy-cool laid-back vibe

Trigger was simply the best. Perfect laid-back yet classy atmosphere for our wedding. Scott hung in with us through several pandemic cancellations and postponements, and everything was perfect when the big day finally arrived. Scott was always responsive to our questions, and provided great suggestions for catering and staffing. Totally recommended!
