Beautiful Experience

Not only is the venue itself beautiful, but the staff is so incredibly helpful. Samantha was our contact the whole way through and was present pretty much the whole evening on the day of! Her and the other staff present for the bar were so helpful and took a lot of worries off my shoulders. Heck, the decor was even set up before I set foot on the site! Highly recommend.

AMAZING all inclusive wedding venue

My husband and I had our wedding here this past weekend and we could not have picked a more perfect venue for it. We had ~40 of us stay on site at the campground and then did the welcome party, ceremony, reception, and after party all on site at the grounds. The food is incredible, the staff was amazing, and our coordinator (Samantha) was SPECTACULAR (she went searching for my bouquet in the woods after I left it during portraits on top of handling EVERYTHING perfectly). We felt welcomed and at home all weekend and our guests had an amazing time. I will spend the next multiple years trying to convince my friends to also get married here so we can experience it all again!

The best!!

We had our February wedding at Camp Aramoni and they were absolutely amazing. Andrea made the entire experience from planning to the day of completely stress-free. The food was amazing, we received RAVE reviews from all of our guests. All of the staff were so kind and professional and made sure our day was completely seamless. The atmosphere in the venue was gorgeous and required minimal decor to achieve the exact look I was going for. I would HIGHLY recommend Camp Aramoni to anyone who is planning an event.

Perfect Fall Venue

Absolutely wonderful venue and staff, we felt like our wedding here was worth every penny and then some. Having Andrea to help with planning was a huge weight off our shoulders day-of, and the outdoor area//reception space is so beautiful it requires far less decor and dress-up than most other venues at this price point - but there's still plenty of room for customization and options, both indoors and outdoors, to make your day unique. The food was exceptional; our guests are still talking about the meal nearly a month later - wayyyy easier than having to track down and hire yet another vendor to coordinate with. If I could leave ten stars, I would in a heartbeat.

Surpassed every expectation!

Hiiiii Andrea and staff!

What an amazing, amazing day! We feel so fortunate to have won such a wonderful giveaway! We can’t thank you and the entire staff enough for meeting with us, paying attention to detail and executing
it all with a smile. It warmed our hearts to have found a venue where we felt seen, accepted, and safe. You and the staff made the joys and the stress of planning a wedding in 3 months as smooth as can be. We truly appreciate everyone’s time and effort that was put into the most important day of our lives thus far! We can’t wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary! We will definitely take advantage of the discount. Thank you Camp Aramoni! Also we will absolutely write a review too.

The newlyweds,
Sandra & Tina

The best decision ever!

Camp Aramoni was the best choice of venue for my husband and I. We worked with Camp Aramoni for a little over two years to make our dream wedding come true. Andrea, who was our main point of contact and coordinator, was amazing and I cannot thank her and everyone at Camp Aramoni enough for making my dream wedding day come true!

My husband and I only toured one venue because we knew right away Camp Aramoni was the best choice for us!

One of the best decisions I made - such care and professionalism!

As a COVID bride, my initial date was 03/21/2020. After the lockdown and multiple failed rescheduling, I took a step back from planning. Almost two years later I reached out to Camp Aramoni and reluctantly dove right back into it. We celebrated our marriage on 03/17/2023 and it was absolutely everything my heart ever dreamed of. Venue and events manager Andrea and general manager Stephanie showed me so much compassion and understanding. They were in frequent communication with me and made sure I was comfortable and happy with every step forward. I knew I was in the best of hands. The day of was handled with such grace and expertise. The food was delicious and hot, the bartenders and wait staff kind, and the space and ambiance perfect. I cannot recommend Camp Aramoni enough. Do not hesitate for a second if you are considering using their space and services!

The comments, compliments, and praise we got from our guests was the icing on the cake – cementing this as one of the best decisions we have ever made!
