It was a wonderful experience. The service was outstanding. WE could not have had such a nice event without their help. We are most appreciative.

I cannot say enough good things about CVR and the staff who made our wedding day perfect in every way! The lodge rooms and cabins are clean and beautiful, and the reception space is HUGE and a blank canvas for you to decorate however you've been dreaming! However, it is beautifully rustic alone with a lot of windows that show off the beautiful Canaan Valley views--you can't even go wrong keeping it simple. I recommend a mountaintop ceremony not only because it affords a breathtaking backdrop for your vows (which you don't have to decorate extravagantly because you have nature doing for you!), but also a unique experience of a scenic chair lift ride to the top of the mountain for your guests. My friends and family had such a good time--it's something not everyone gets to do at a wedding (or ever)! Our food was top of the line delicious--it's over a month later and I'm still hearing about how good it was! Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and accommodating--from the front desk to the servers. I especially have to sing the praises of Nancy Guthrie. My husband and I had a year long engagement and thus, a whole year to make plans--Nancy attended to our needs from day one of our contact like our wedding was the next day. She is polite, professional, and detailed-oriented. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy at every given opportunity and if for no other reason (and there are plenty!), you should choose to have your wedding at CVR just to get to work with Nancy!

The staff is very conscious and always willing to go the extra mile to please us. Amy, Nicole, Cherie, Billy, David H., and the other staff members were extremely helpful to make my daughter's wedding run so smoothly. It even rained and the staff went above and beyond their job description to make the wedding run so smoothly. It was a beautiful event and I want to THANK everyone that was involved to make it an exciting and successful event.

The amazing staff at Canaan is simply awesome! It is one of the top premiere Destination locations in WV to have your wedding and reception. I love to play there and have never had anything short of a great experience every time!
Always a pleasure to work one of the many Ballrooms and the Bear Paw Lodge to make our couples events outstanding.
