My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Cedar Bend Events and its owner Jillian. We were impressed by how eager Jillian was to answer questions and accomodate us during our wedding planning process. Jillian is a warm individual who makes you feel immediately at ease, and makes your guests feel welcome. More important, Cedar Bend Events and Jillian created a wedding venue for us that our guests are still talking about. Our wedding ceremony, reception, decor, floral arrangements, etc. were so tasteful, elegant and lovely. We have Cedar Bend Events and Jillian in particular (as florist and decorator) to thank for this.

I think what we liked about Cedar Bend the most was the fact that it has a rustic feel, but with elegant and modern finishes. I remember driving up to the ranch and seeing a lovely rustic trellis that overlooked a vibrant green lawn surrounded by a thick forest. I felt like I had just walked into a scene from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream! And just as I inhaled a deep refreshing breath of freshly cut grass and floral scents, I looked down to see the gentle trod of an older friendly-looking black dog. After petting him, I entered the venue's charming house. The pavillion leading up to the house had wooden beams in it that reminded me of an old rural Russian church. And the grooms' room reminded me of a hunting lodge--the bathrooms like those of victorian houses in the north east.

When decorating these areas, Jillian paid close attention to detail--flowers in the smallest space, rustic vases on antique tables...everywhere we looked there was something beautiful to look at. She matched that attention to detail in her customer service. She even fixed my boutineer when it started to fall off my tux and sprung to get some extra votive candles so I could sing happy birthday to my friend, who's birthday happened to fall on March 17th.

I recommend Cedar Bend Events without reservation. To all of you brides-to-be, chose this venue. You will not find another venue like it--or another owner. You will not be disappointed.
