Amazing Staff and Beautiful Venue
ThorpeWood was the first and only venue we toured. After that first visit, we couldn't get it out of our heads. It had everything we were looking for in a wedding venue -- outdoors, peaceful, naturally beautiful.

Once we decided on ThorpeWood, other details fell into place easily. We loved that they only work with select caterers because our decision was simplified, and the caterers know the venue well. Also, we felt that because the venue is so beautiful on its own, our decorations could be very minimal. Throughout the planning process, Julie and her team were very responsive and easy to reach.
Hands-down, the best part of our experience was the staff's professionalism and flexibility on the day of our wedding. We had major delays due to a snafu with our transportation company as well as scattered thunderstorms all evening. The ThorpeWood staff handled the logistics in such a way that none of us (bride, groom, or families) had to get stressed out. In particular, Julie was incredible. She went above and beyond her duties to ensure that every small detail was taken care of, including bustling the dress, setting up last-minute flowers, and checking weather radar. She and her staff also worked with us to adjust the timing of our ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to feel rushed.
Our family and friends continue to rave about how much fun they had at ThorpeWood. We are so glad we found it, and can't imagine our wedding anywhere else.

Thorpewood is Magical!
My daughter's wedding at Thorpewood was magical! The pine cathedral was the perfect outdoor setting for the ceremony and the lodge was ideal for the cocktail hour and reception. The facilities are so well kept and gorgeous. Julie and her crew are absolutely fantastic! Julie walked us through every question and idea we had then made sure our vision became a reality. We were able to relax and truly enjoy the special day knowing that everything was covered. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Magical experience at an unforgettable venue

The wedding took place entirely in the lodge and every detail was perfect. Our guests were blown away by this unique venue, which required minimal decorations.
After the ceremony Julie took our daughter Deena and her new husband Jason along with the photographer to several outdoor spots on the property for what turned out to be some amazing pictures.
During dancing, the porch was available along with the fun photo booth and a welcoming fire pit on a crisp evening.
Our wedding was truly enhanced by Jake and his team from Renaissance Chef caterers, which was served family style. Everything was as we anticipated and was delicious.
We couldn't imagine a nicer experience and thank Julie from the bottom of our hearts.
