The best venue (possibly ever!!)

Giants Ridge was the perfect place for our wedding! I couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else. Every part of the Giants Ridge property was so beautiful and so spectacular. During our wedding weekend, we were able to experience so many cool parts such as the lodge, the outdoor patios, the chalets, the restaurants, and the golf courses. All of our guests loved their visit! Aside from being an amazing venue, our wedding planning process was such a breeze all thanks to Jessica. She was so helpful, communicative, flexible, and responsive. We love her!! A huge thank you to all of the Giants Ridge staff who helped us make our wedding day run so smooth and make our vision come to life! We can't wait to come back and visit. 5 stars all around and HIGHLY recommend!! :)
