Rustic and Charming!

We got married at Buchanan Hall with our ceremony and reception onsite. From the beginning, we loved this venue - our vision was to have a memorable and meaningful wedding, surrounded by family and friends, at an affordable price. Buchanan Hall is where that vision was solidified and ultimately, carried out. The price for renting the hall cannot be beat and they allow so much flexibility with vendors, which was helpful.

Montana, the point of contact we worked with, is an absolute gem. She gave us plenty of advice and support along the way, along with knowledge of the venue itself. I loved that this venue is a local non-profit and supports a farmers market and other local community events, including a pride celebration.

If you are interested in getting married here - GO VISIT. That will help make the choice for you since you will be able to see all the included amenities, such as getting ready suites. The beautiful mountain view is an added bonus. Thanks again for making our wedding amazing!

The Perfect Venue!

We got married at Buchanan Hall in June 2024 and it was everything we dreamed of! The hall is the perfect location for a one-stop venue, with plenty of space for indoor or outdoor festivities during all parts of the day. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside in the gardens, then dinner indoors and the reception indoor/outdoor. With 120 guests, there was plenty of space for a sit-down meal and dancing afterwards! Additionally, the hall coordinator Montana is extremely easy to work with and took a personal interest in making sure our day went perfectly. She even showed up for the rehearsal without us having to ask so she could get an idea of what we were looking for and coordinate during the ceremony for us, which took so much of the stress off of me. Her communication is prompt and clear, which made all the difference during planning too. And an added bonus is just how fun she is to work with!

Our catering and day-of coordination was done by the hall’s in-house caterer My Sweet Thyme, who customized a menu for us and went above and beyond for us in every aspect. We are still getting compliments on the food 2 months later, and as the bride, I didn’t have to think about a single thing other than having a good time that day.

Another benefit of hosting at Buchanan Hall was the fact that we could visit the venue during their regular farmers markets to get a feel for the space and plan in person, which is not something you get to do at most venues. As a visual person, this was a huge perk for me especially. We were able to customize our floor plan, the color scheme and florals, and decide where the DJ and Photo Booth should go to maximize our use of the space.

The hall has a handful of vendors whom they work with regularly, including our DJ and florist, and they were just fabulous to work with too. The fact that Montana and her team have a working relationship with so many connections in the wedding industry honestly made the whole planning process so simple.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with our decision to get married at Buchanan Hall, and I think you would be too!

October wedding

Words really don’t express how amazing our wedding day was and how beautiful everything was. Buchanan hall made all our wedding day visions come true! The history, outdoor space, get ready rooms, hall, and everything in between was simple perfection. Montana has been amazing this whole process and is more than helpful. We couldn’t think of a better space to hold our big day.
