Best DIY Venue

This venue was PERFECT for my wedding day. The location is quiet, secluded and beautiful. It made for breath taking photos and a stunning ceremony but also made for a fun and exciting party. The staff was easy to work with and very accommodating. It is the perfect DIY location for an incredible price.

We absolutely loved Jefferson Patterson Park. Michele was very clear about the rules and regulations at the park, which made everything easier as our expectations were set in advance. JPP has rules and regulations just like any venue, but they happen to be a bit more strict, and understandably so! This is a state park, not a private organization. You pay a very small fee to use this venue, and its gorgeous. The fee is small because you are just paying for the venue - no on-site support, no catering, no tent, which is totally fine if you are a bride looking for something more DIY! You have to bring in as much help as you can to do the set-up, but its TOTALLY worth it! My advice for any bride using this venue is to identify people to help you set-up, clean-up, etc. We hired a day-of coordinator, which made everything run very smoothly. Our friends and family also helped, which was wonderful. We had a very rustic, elegant wedding, exactly what we wanted. JPP is wonderful, Michele is wonderful!
