Absolutely perfect!

We had a summer wedding at the Lodge at Mount Ida and everything about it was perfect. The outdoor ceremony area has a stunning view of the mountains and is so serene, and the reception venue is fantastic. It was the most wonderful setting for our day. Our families even stayed at houses on the property for the entire wedding weekend and we hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Taphouse- so everything was all in the same place and so seamless. The team was also fantastic to work with. Wish we could get married there all over again!

We loved Mount Ida!

We recently had our wedding at the Event Barn and Gazebo and it was spectacular. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the space was, and the staff was so courteous and friendly. They were a dream to work with. We would recommend Mount Ida to any couple!

Most beautiful wedding ever

Book Mount Ida now! We got married at the Event Barn and it is worth every penny (any more). It ended up raining on our wedding day and I am so grateful we had the indoor option at the Event Barn. I was sad we didn't get the beautiful gazebo photos for the wedding ceremony but luckily we did get a few pictures there for our first look.

Our guests loved how easy it was that our ceremony was in the Event Barn and so was the reception (seriously, don't sleep on an indoor ceremony, it worked out for the best). Everyone we worked with like Bronwyn and Rachael were so nice. The space photographs so well and caterers LOVE Mount Ida (if you want Exchange Events as your caterer, go ahead and book Mount Ida).

They have four different spaces to choose from (and pro-tip Event Barn does not require their wine/beer) so there are tons of options with Mount Ida. I am so grateful we had our wedding there!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Mount Ida Farm is such a gorgeous venue! I love having the opportunity to photograph there and utilize the many unique locations that highlight the best this area has to offer. The ceremony spot is spectacular with the gazebo and overlook of the pond while the reception space ties in the rustic farm feel. This venue is perfect for the families as well since they can chose to rent out houses and stay on location. I especially enjoy working with Milicent and her staff as they are always so helpful and supportive during wedding days.
