The dreamiest hidden gem wedding venue!!!

My husband and I got married here in June and we couldn't be happier with the day. We live out of state and had quite a few people traveling, so a hotel venue was ideal for us, and planning everything via e-mail and phone was made really simple with Christina! As others have said, she goes above and beyond to make your vision come to life which, for us, included working out the table linens and dinnerware with the rental company Shabby Sisters (we didn't have to talk to them once). It was perfect for our guest count of 65, and I wouldn't recommend weddings of 100+ guests due to the size of the reception space. The venue was extremely flexible when I went back and forth on a few of my decisions and asked if we could have a few things customized. The full open bar was totally worth it and they made our signature cocktails so delicious! We absolutely loved having the full barn suite for the weekend to house some of our wedding party, get ready in, and hang out in throughout the weekend - it was worth every penny. We were given the Paris Room to stay in which felt so peaceful and secluded. Christina and staff did an excellent job running the events all weekend and made it so I didn't have to make any more decisions upon our arrival. Many of our guests made sure to tell us how great the staff, food, and venue as a whole was. We even had a few people hike the Buttermilk Falls trail the morning of the wedding! We would have loved even more time to hang out and enjoy everything. Overall, we were so happy to see our vision come to life with the charm of the lovely La Tourelle venue as the perfect backdrop.

10/01/23 Wedding

I cannot put into words how my heart felt at the end of my wedding day. We got countless compliments on finding such a beautiful hidden gem of a venue. Every single person we encountered at the facility made us feel so special having our wedding there. The rooms were absolutely beautiful but the best part was by far Christina
She set up our ceremony space, our reception room, bartended, did clean up and break down as well as made it so easy on us picking up our decorations
There is no amount of money any venue could charge that would be enough for what Christina did for us.

Excellent Small Wedding Venue!

My husband and I struggled to find a wedding venue that didn't have seemingly endless hidden fees and expenses. Between that and dealing with my parents' overbearing opinions, we were considering not having a wedding at all when we found La Tourelle, and more accurately, Christina. Whatever La Tourelle is paying her, it's nowhere near enough.

Christina made the whole process of planning a wedding so much easier and less stressful. The quote she gives you is actually the price you will pay, including taxes, etc. There are no "extra" fees and no pressure to spend more than your budget. She was an expert at dealing with a million questions from my mom and communicating with us to make sure that everything was exactly what we wanted. During our wedding, one of our guests had a medical emergency and Christina and her staff dealt with the whole ordeal quietly and professionally.

Our day was beautiful, fun and exactly what we wanted, thanks to La Tourelle and Christina. Highly recommend!
