Where do I begin! Beautiful venue and amazing people to work with! Catherine, the wedding coordinator, makes sure you are on track the whole time through planning. She is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease through the process. The DJ is included in the cost, and they are great! They have a huge tasting that you are invited to where they decorate the tent (Mica, where my wedding was) just like a wedding, and all of their preferred vendors set up and are there to answer your questions. The caterers (there are 3) all have food that you can try, and the cake place does as well. Really fun night! On our actual wedding day, is was raining in the morning, but I was not worried at all. Catherine and her team are great at watching the doppler so that you can fit your ceremony in perfectly. Luckily, the rain stopped for us just when we needed it to. The team there also takes down all of your centerpieces and such for you afterwards and you can pick it up the next morning. Very accommodating! It was also perfect because we didn't want your typical banquet hall wedding. The landscaping is so nice that we didn't have to purchase flowers to decorate outdoors. It is also quite reasonable for this day and age, but your price per plate will vary depending on the caterer you choose. I really just can't say enough positive things about this place...we LOVED every part of it! Thank you CD&ME!

Best wedding EVER

This June, my husband and I were so blessed to get married at CD&Me (The Loft) and have the BEST wedding we could have ever imagined! We loved CD&Me as soon as we met Catherine and looked around the venue. It is unique and so beautiful, with a stunning outdoor ceremony gazebo, a rustic and charming indoor reception room, and the best part- when dancing begins, the reception room opens it doors and becomes the most perfect indoor/outdoor area for everyone to have space to either dance, relax at the bar, sit by the fire, or enjoy a table inside. From the venues physical features to the incredible staff, CD&Me is truly one of a kind. It has been almost a month since we got married and our family and friends have not stopped raving over how much they loved this venue. Special thanks to Marnie, our day-of-coordinator, who was INCREDIBLE and kept our wedding party and timeline in perfect shape throughout the entire ceremony and reception! 10000% recommend!

Absolutely stunning

CD & Me was a true come true. Catherine made the planning process a breeze & having Marnie by my side all throughout my my wedding day made the entire day so perfect. This venue was beyond anything I could have imagined. From the coordinators, planners, bartenders & bus-boys, this staff did not miss a beat. They truly had a huge part on making this day perfect!

Amazing Venue

Catherine will help you with anything, and I loved that they already had a set list of vendors that they work with regularly. It helped to make some decisions a little easier. Venue is so unique and has an awesome indoor/outdoor feel at night

Best Wedding Venue

My husband and I had our wedding at CD&me this past September and it was nothing short of amazing. We fell in love with the venue when we first saw it, but it was even more exceptional for our wedding. The staff along with wedding coordinators Marny and Catherine were phenomenal. They made every step of the process easier and the entire experience, from the breathtaking venue to the outstanding coordination by was absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone to have their special day here.

Catherine and her team was OUTSTANDING!!! The Loft that we used was perfect for my daughter's rustic wedding. The venue was so accommodating! Everyone was saying how beautiful the grounds where from the waterfall to the lake to the large fire pit. Everything was PERFECT. Thank you so much for a fairy tale wedding for my daughter.

Best Venue Ever

Booking CD&ME as our venue was one of the first and best decisions we made for our wedding. I cannot say enough amazing things about the venue, the coordinator Catherine, and our whole experience with the venue. Catherine was so helpful throughout the process and she made sure our day was perfect. I truly don’t know how she does it with all the weddings they have. The staff day of was amazing. Everyone at our wedding has talked about how our wedding was the most beautiful and best wedding they have ever been to. We cannot recommend enough!

Fairy Tale Wedding Venue

We could not be happier with our choice to get married at CD & ME! Catherine, the wedding coordinator, was truly the behind the scenes star of making our wedding as amazing as it was. She was such an absolute joy to work with and helped everything come together so seamlessly, all while keeping me calm and staying so positive! The grounds are breathtaking, and our guests loved having the option of relaxing by the fire pit at night time or taking photos by the gorgeous ponds and waterfalls. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Our wedding was a dream and we could not have done it without CD & ME (and Catherine)!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
