Spooktacular Halloween Wedding

We had such an enchanting experience at Four Rivers Environmental Education Center! The location is elegant and beautiful where we turned it into The Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Wedding Town. Our family, friends, and guests, had such a magical, spooky, eerie, and mysterious time! We would highly recommend this facility for weddings and other party events.

Four Rivers was the best decision we made while planning our wedding!

The whole team at Four Rivers was phenomenal! Anything we wanted, they gladly tried to execute. They were accommodating, hospitable, and cordial. We are so glad we got married at their venue! They prioritized the environment when curating their vendor list and their grounds are stunning. We love them! Highly recommend. :)
