More than we could have expected

My wife and I planned my daughter's wedding. We had help from my ex-wife but my wife was most involved in the planning. The wedding coordinator, Levi, was great. Imagine having to deal with 3 sets of parents for a wedding. We had an incredible time. The venue, the service with what seemed to be special attention was amazing. We expected to receive an additional bill or charges because it was that good. We recommend that the party all stay on site, as we did. In the end, we are more than 2 months out and everyone that attended is still thanking me and telling me how incredible it was. I have yet to hear one complaint. Thank You Levi and your staff at Forrest Hills-Best Wedding Ever!

This was the absolute best place not only was the staff extremely helpful. Levi is the best. But everything was affordable. I could not have asked for a more special Wedding Venue and Reception. I would 100% recommend this beautiful place.

Excellent service

Forrest Hills provided a beautiful and elegant location for our wedding. They worked with our condensed timeline and were flexible with scheduling and allowing outside vendors (live music and florist) to set up. There is nothing about our day that we would change, and part of that is thanks to the professionalism of the staff and wedding coordinator for exceeding our dreams/expectations. I highly recommend utilizing the Mountain Laurel Inn for a rehearsal dinner and staying there with family and close friends for the weekend; it makes all communication/travel so much easier with everyone in the same place.

I have played the harp at Forrest Hills Mountain Resort many times. Each time I travel up there even the country car ride is enjoyable. The staff are pleasant, efficient, and very professional. I appreciate all the opportunities in which our paths cross. All the best! Hailey Smith HarpistForTheKing.com
