Absolutely amazing venue!

We hosted our wedding reception at Mountain Terrace and could not have been happier with our experience. The setting alone is absolutely gorgeous, but this venue does not assume its location is enough. Every interaction from the initial intake, the tasting (they have an INCREDIBLY talented onsite chef), the wedding coordination lead-up to the set-up and service for actual event was OUTSTANDING! Our guests were blown away by the venue, the food and the exceptional service. I cannot think of one thing I would do differently - if you are considering Mountain Terrace...BOOK IT NOW!

The staff at The Mountain Terrace is what makes this a spectacular choice for any couple. Pair that with charming location and beautiful views and we felt it was the perfect place for us. From the minute we walked in for our initial viewing, we pretty much knew it was where we wanted to get married. The energy was so positive, it just had an amazing vibe with some good music playing, it was cozy and magical. We didn't look any further. The staff is really warm and attentive here, they were so on top of everything. And the food was absolutely phenomenal. The other piece that makes this place such a gem is how affordable it is for what you get. Well, affordable in the wedding world. Great experience, highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I love this venue! Gorgeous lawn, huge deck and awesome views. The sunset light is stunning! Late afternoon weddings at the Mountain Terrace are beautiful. Caren is fantastic to work with. She really looked after the vendors as well as the bride and groom. I can't wait to shoot there again! Thank you guys!!
