Wonderful Wedding Venue

Cedar Valley Forest provided a beautiful outdoor backdrop for the wedding and a lovely indoor venue for the reception. The staff was so easy to work with and they even allowed dogs so my daughter and her fiance could have their pets involved. The decor was gorgeous and made for stunning photos. We got many compliments on the venue from guests!

Best Venue Ever!!

We had our wedding here two weeks ago and everything went perfectly!! We had nothing but compliments on how beautiful and unique the property is. One of the biggest reasons we chose this venue was because of the perfect mix of indoors and outdoors. I also loved how we had access to the cottage for getting ready, it made the day run so smoothly. HUGE shoutout to Andrea, our day wouldn't have been the same without her amazing planning. She was there for us every step of the way when it came to the planning process, the rehearsal and to the day of. Also big thank you to our decorator, Elizabeth and our bartender, Brittany. We would highly recommend Cedar Valley Forest to anyone getting married!!

The Best Service You Can Find!!

Working with Jill, Kenna, and Andrea to create our dream wedding was like talking shop with your organized best friend, it just felt natural and so easy to do. The provided assets made setup on the wedding day a breeze and having Kenna as our day of coordinator really helped our special day go off without a hitch. We couldn't be more happy with the service that we received and can't help but recommend them to anyone that is looking for a beautiful wedding venue with an amazing staff!

The venue was spectacular -- and the staff was wonderful!

I would definitely recommend Cedar Valley Forest as a wedding venue. It is top notch! They kept us on track with planning checklists, and were available to answer any questions before the event. I would also recommend their "Day Of" Coordinator --- it helped the day run seamlessly. A bonus is all of the decor they have available to choose from. We were able to easily put together the look we were wanting from their selections!
5 STAR DAY!!

The Perfect Venue

We just had our wedding at Cedar Valley Forest in October and it was spectacular. I cannot stop beaming, reminiscing about how perfect the day was. The venue, the nature, the indoor space, the cottage for getting ready, our coordinator Andrea, just all of it was top notch.
When we started our search for the perfect venue, we had a couple things we knew we wanted: an outdoor ceremony (weather permitting) but that could be moved inside if needed, to be surrounded in nature and trees, early access to the venue for getting ready- as well as a dedicated space for getting ready, and be able to bring our own alcohol for the reception. Cedar Valley Forest hit all of those points and many many more.
When we arrived for our tour it was clear that CVF was just as interested in getting to know us, our love story, and how we wanted our day to look, as we were getting to see the venue and meet them. We felt welcomed and celebrated and quickly knew this was the place we wanted to start our forever.
The planning and prep work for the big day was so easy. Andrea sent reminders and info to fill out, and was always available for questions. They helped keep me organized and less stressed.
All of the wedding decor they have available to use is incredible and made our wedding day much less stressful, with less stuff to bring to the venue- it was all right there!
I truly cannot thank Cedar Valley Forest enough for making us feel so valued and celebrated as clients and to Andrea for being so calm and taking care of everything on the best day of our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
