Our wonderful, chaotic day.

Me and my now wonderful husband got married. On 10/4/2023, the day was chaotic and had hiccups that every bride runs into. But John and Julie smoothed it over and saved the day.
It was wonderful and beautiful and so relaxed. They made you feel like family and offer the shirts off their back if needed.
You can tell that they clearly love what they do and offer to stay in contact even now that the wedding is over.

And they are the reason that our forever gets to start on the perfect foot. They were there every step of the day, making sure your needs, wants and sanity stayed in place.

We can't thank them enough for everything that they did everything they have done, and everything they will do for those in the future.
If you get a chance to at least tour the venue, I highly recommend it.

You will not even consider or look at
another,

It's so gorgeous and so perfect. Thank you, John and Julie for everything you have done for the Stricklands. ❤️

The most beautiful day!

My son was married here in Oct and it was a wonderful experience. I was not too involved in planning but when I did have a question, Julie responded right away! The day was flawless. The use of the two lovely homes for our out of town and elderly family was so helpful and made the day easy. I come from the east coast right outside NYC and I have seen my share of weddings for 50,000 dollars plus. This was so fresh and beautiful it puts those to shame in many ways. I know it wasn't supposed to be a copy of those weddings but still, we all had the best time! Everyone of the guests raved about the venue and many wished they had known about Little Piney before. Bravo to John and Julie for their professional dedication to making all work so well! P.s. the fact that the couple have such a variety of choices to make with decorations on site, and great bartenders, staff, and the use of any caterer you wish was remarkable.

June 3rd wedding

WOW I can’t say enough good things about this venue! Not only was it breath taking and the perfect venue, but it includes a whole closet full of decor to choose from! John and Julie were the BEST. So helpful and ready to answer any questions or help with anything. Not to mention you get this beautiful venue for the whole weekend! My guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful the venue you was. 10000/5 stars!

Amazing venue, even better people

John and Julie are the most kind and helpful people you will ever meet and help to plan your wedding. Obviously the venue is immaculate from the Fest Haus, Pavillion, Gazeebo to the two cabins provided. We had so many compliments on the venue and how peaceful and beautiful it was. John and Julie communicated with us throughout every step and were trouble shooting potential issues days before the wedding to insure we had the best wedding day. I can't say enough about them and how awesome they are. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a venue!

Most beautiful wedding ever!

Beautiful venue and we had the most wonderful experience here. We had to plan our wedding from a few states away, and we booked this place sight-unseen after doing a virtual meeting with Julie and John. They're wonderfully accommodating, responsive, and so caring. The venue has spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, indoor reception, and outdoor reception without guests having to travel. They also have "magic closet" with a ton of decor options; we did all of our centerpieces from there and saved a lot of money on florals while still looking gorgeous and professional. Best of all, you get the venue from Friday night through Sunday morning, and there are two separate cabins with three bedrooms each for the bridal party. They even include bonfires on Friday and Saturday nights! They are also extremely attentive; it began to threaten rain about 30 minutes into my reception, and they automatically moved everything under the pavilion and setup the DJ underneath a tent without our having to ask. I could not have asked for a better wedding experience, and recommend them enthusiastically!

Memorable Wedding Venue

I cannot say enough positive things about Little Piney, our wedding venue was everything I ever wanted for a dreamy, whimsical, outdoor wedding. So many guests told us they had never been to such a unique venue and complimented us on how well-planned our day was. John and Julie are a dream. They helped everything run so smoothly from making sure a poker surprise for the groomsmen was set up, to loaning us some butter, driving us around the property on golf-carts, locating my extra pair of shoes, and bringing us appetizers from the cocktail hour when we were hungry after all the pictures. The best part was that we were able to rent the venue for Friday-Sunday and the wedding party could stay on-site with us, making it an enjoyable weekend with friends and family instead of simply being a one-day event. They really emphasize how low-stress they want everything to be. We ended up booking them again after our 2021 wedding date was postponed due to the pandemic because we couldn't let go of such a beautiful venue. They have 3 locations for your wedding (a gazebo, a pavilion, and a barn), and are very accommodating in case the weather changes. They allow you to bring in your own caterer/bartender and bring your own alcohol, which helped us keep those costs down. They are the perfect venue for a diy couple. Book them now, you won't regret it.

A Magical Wedding Venue

The staff at Little Piney were absolutely wonderful and amazing to work with. We booked this venue almost two years prior to our wedding, and they took care of us throughout that entire time. Any time we had a question or concern, they were right on top of it, and always responded so quickly. They truly made sure that we had an amazing day and did everything to make sure we didn't have any hiccups. The venue was gorgeous and magical, and Little Piney will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Unbelievably amazing

If you are looking for a venue that literally is there for you every single step of the way, who is willing to go above and beyond, then you need to go to Little Piney! I cannot day enough amazing things about this place!! The owners, John and Julie, were their for us every single moment we needed us and even when we didn’t need them; they came to check on us and make sure that everything was perfect! We had a few little hiccups, where my dad was staying down town, started flooding and my wedding dress was there, and Julie offered to go there and pick it up for me!!! That’s going above and beyond!!! But she offered with zero hesitation. Y’all - book your wedding here! It’s the PERFECT place!! I can’t wait to go back and visit!

Perfect location, even better service

Going to see the venue, I was a bit nervous — it was a bit outside our price point. But let me tell you, one of the best decisions my husband has ever made (besides marrying me, of course), was to push us toward this venue. John and Julie are such wonderful, loving people. They worked with us through all the nagging questions, the changes, the "oh gosh, why are we having a wedding during a pandemic" nerves. They were a dream to work with, and the venue is just as beautiful as their hearts. We brought in less than a hundred dollars of our own decor because the magic closet had almost everything we needed. And the area is so gorgeous that it doesn't need much to give it that magic touch. John and Julie even let my husband and I hang out on the dock the morning after, so we could spend our first morning as a married couple praying together and taking in the beauty around us. We have absolutely adored our experience!

Simply Perfect.

Words cannot describe how much I love and adore Little Piney Lodge and John and Julie. This was the most amazing venue and we looked at A LOT! We found Little Piney online and immediately fell in love, sent an email, and scheduled a tour for that week. When we took our tour, I was in tears because it was everything I didn’t know I wanted. We signed on the dotted line…before we were even engaged! About a month after we booked LP, we went back for another tour with some of our family and I was surprised when my then boyfriend got down on one knee and asked me to marry him in the very place we were going to have our wedding. (We do things a little differently) My mind was blown and I had no idea how he had set this up…low and behold, John and Julie worked their magic and that was just the start of our amazing experience. John and Julie are not just the owners of this gorgeous venue, they are wedding coordinators, planners, decorators, and friends. For over a year I emailed and called them at all hours and they never once complained, told me to keep the questions coming, and gave the absolute best advice. We had LP from Friday morning until Sunday morning. When we arrived Friday morning, John was out doing things to prepare for our big day and Julie was right there asking me what I needed and helping me with everything I could possibly ask for. I was in constant contact with them all weekend and they gave us their undivided attention. While we were at our rehearsal dinner, they started a fire for the guys and made sure everything we had set-up looked perfect. On the day of, Julie checked in with us regularly, drove us around for pictures, and gave me her coat and gloves when she saw I was cold. After the wedding, we were bombarded with compliments on the wedding and how beautiful LP was. Little Piney Lodge is a gorgeous venue, has everything you are looking for and more, and an amazing family to come with it. If you’re thinking about Little Piney, don’t hesitate because you’ll miss out on having one of the most important days of your life made perfect by John and Julie.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
