Fairytale Wedding

I cannot express how incredible my daughter’s wedding was at Chula Vista! Jenny was absolutely amazing!! She was there for us every step of the way. She went above and beyond. We could not have done it without her, she was kind, professional , caring and very patient with this overwhelmed mom of the bride. Jenny made sure my daughter had the wedding of her dreams. She made us feel like family not just a client. Everybody on her team was super helpful, the food was phenomenal, the resort was awesome. I highly recommend working with Jenny and her team. There aren’t enough words to describe how much we appreciate everything!

Our wedding 10.11.25

If I had to do it over again, I would choose Chula Vista a hundred times over. We got married on the River View deck and held our reception in the River View Ballroom. The backdrop and view were incredible. Jenny was so easy to work with. We were fish out of water on this and she had helpful recommendations and insight, but more than that she really took care of us. Everything went off without a hitch. Every question answered, promptly. She's on top of her game.

The food we had was phenomenal and it was so convenient to have everything right there. We even did our rehersal dinner on site. The price was reasonable as well. Had we gotten married in Madison it would have been twice the price, easily, and we would not have had the gorgeous backdrop.

We can't wait to make many happy returns to this beautiful area.

Our dream wedding!

We had our ceremony on the golf course, the on-site house to get ready in was really convenient. Reception in the riverview ballroom which was a gorgeous spot with a nice patio next to the river. The food was amazing. The staff are great, everyone from the bartenders to banquet coordinator, and especially Jenny who was able to support all of our requests! Our only minor complaint was that guests had to book rooms through a phone number and a few people had issues with the call center. Otherwise I would highly recommend Chula Vista, they helped us bring our vision to a reality and it was the best day!

Chula Vista: adaptive, capable and amazing!

Our venue contact Jennifer was incredibly helpful from beginning to end. It ended up raining quite heavily on our wedding day so last minute changes were needed to move the ceremony into the reception tent. That was done seamlessly as she was always responsive and present during our prep process. Pricing was accurate and honest and the staff (Jason at the Tavern, bartenders and maintenance/setup) was also incredible. Can't recommend them enough! - Luke and Ryley

Amazing experience

Planning a wedding with Taylor Youngblut, wedding coordinator at Chula Vista, was nothing short of an amazing experience! She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect day...even through all of this COVID craziness! I would 100% 10/10 recommend having a wedding at Chula Vista! The food was amazing as well as the service! Thank you to Jeff Kaminski for going the extra mile to make sure our special day occurred.

Wonderful Experience!

We are so glad that we chose Chula Vista for our wedding and reception. It was a great experience from start to finish, very much due to the professionalism and experience of Rachel Jacobson, Chula’s amazing wedding coordinator. Our wedding was Nov. 29, 2019. Everyone especially loved the food we served — we had food stations with various carved meats, and people were raving about them! The staff at the reception were so great as well; they were all very helpful and friendly. I can’t say enough about our experience! It was excellent!! The only challenges people had were navigating the resort, but that worked itself out over time. Some of the decor, especially the carpeting in the banquet rooms, was a bit dated, but I’ve seen they are taking on some renovations. Overall I would recommend Chula as a great choice for a wedding and reception! Thank you Rachel and everyone at Chula Vista for a wonderful wedding and great memories!

Perfect!!!

Rachel at Chula Vista went above and beyond to make our day at the river view deck/ballroom perfect. We were nearly rained out but managed to pull it all outside and make it work. Halfway through the ceremony we walked down to the water park and took a swim in the lazy river- wedding dress, tux and all.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
