Magical Experience!
Literally a Dream venue
When it came to the actual wedding day, I was blown away by how put together the staff was. Balancing the actual Lost River Cave tours and setting up for our event, you can tell that the staff there does not mess around. They hosted three weddings that weekend and between events, we felt like we were the only ones they were focused on. It was awesome!
I strongly recommend anyone to book this venue for a wedding, private event, or just to hang out at the Cave. The venue was everything we could have dreamed of and more, and it was incredibly affordable too. Thank you all so much for delivering such an awesome experience :D -Josh & Savannah
