Katie M. Married on 05/12/2023Excellent.
Love the team at Mountain Memories. Not only is the location stunning, but the team (Julie specifically) did everything they could to reign in the crazy of the wedding and take care of the details. We had some major stuff go wrong the day of (not related to venue, food, or photography) and Julie did everything to mitigate the crazy and keep this stressed, type A bride calm. Would 100% recommend this venue.Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood's reply:

Caroline H. Married on 04/29/2023Just book it - you can't go wrong. ThorpeWood is magic.
Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood is pure EXCELLENCE. My husband wasn't sure he wanted a wedding - his mantra for months, "let's elope." Not so the morning after our marriage at ThorpeWood - "that was the best wedding ever, can we do it again?!"
The best wedding ever - truly it was. And yours will be too because the people who care for ThorpeWood are as committed to making your wedding dream come to life as they are to this enchanting place of unparalleled beauty.
It's hard to say what we loved most about ThorpeWood, but it's people are high on the list. We had the tremendous pleasure of working with Cara. On my day, she became like a best friend, a big sister. Cara radiates care - for you, and for ThorpeWood. She made me feel so special and calm. My family and I were just in awe of her joyful exuberance, professionalism, and tireless work ethic.
Every vendor ThorpeWood recommended to us was outstanding. Florist, musician, DJ, caterer, photographer - they all deliver exceptional service, but most notably to me, they were exceedingly kind. ThorpeWood is good people and it attracts good people. They lift you up. And they clearly have years of experience working together - their coordination is flawless.
Next, ThorpeWood itself. Wow. Just the drive up there is outrageous. We booked one venue, but it's like we had four. The morning after, we loved retracing our guests steps - first, up the winding road past green forests and rushing streams to the quietness of the Pine Cathedral; cocktail hour in the pavilion surrounded by trees; dinner in the main lodge that has so many windows it's like you're still in the woods; and finally, downstairs to the beautiful patio and fire pit. People remarked on the beauty everywhere, not least the lodge's astonishing stone work.
Just book it - you can't go wrong. ThorpeWood is magic.Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words Caroline! It was an absolutely joy to work with you both! Thank you so much for choosing Mountain Memories and we hope that you will visit us again for years to come! - Cara
