Phenominal experience

This venue is absolutely beautiful - we rented the whole space (which allowed us to have a different set-up for first look - down by the boathouse, ceremony/cocktail hour - with the rolling hills in the back, dinner inside, and dancing in the pavilion. Melanie has been incredibly responsive and accommodating since day 1 of booking. She and her staff are very detail oriented, kind, and friendly. I have very high expectations at baseline, and my expectations were exceeded - every detail that we requested was fulfilled and then some. Every guest absolutely raved about the food, and both myself and my husband finished our plates, too good to pass up. As someone with a life threatening food allergy (who hosted guests with many sensitivities/allergies), I felt safe, comforted, and listened to. We will truly never forget this night and want to thank the On The Rocks staff for making our vision come to life.

The Perfect Wedding Venue!

We are so grateful to OTR for the wedding of our dreams! The venue is absolutely breathtaking no matter where you go on the property. We did the buyout (highly recommend) which allowed us to have our ceremony in the Pavilion, cocktail hour on the deck, dinner inside the restaurant and then get the party going back in the Pavilion. With the buyout, you have various options for what is located where, but we felt our set up was 10/10. Our guests really loved the flow and the different locations for everything. From the first time we met Melanie, she made planning seem so seamless & effortless in the best way possible. Melanie and her team are very flexible and helped bring our vision to life, even better than we imagined it! The food was amazing! Our guests were so impressed with the food and level of service all night. Melanie and her team treated not only treated us (bride & groom) like royalty, but our guests as well. OTR also offers so many great add-on’s: We chose to do the ceremony package, which meant they took care of the decor for the aisle & the arbor. We also had welcome champagne for our guests upon arriving at our ceremony. We even added on a French fry station as a late night snack (BIG hit with the guests). Everything was truly super customizable and to be honest, we felt the pricing was extremely reasonable (big plus)! I could go on and on, but the biggest takeaway is that OTR is the most perfect venue for a wedding, and we would recommend this venue to everyone and anyone. Melanie and her team are impressive beyond belief. We cannot thank her and her team enough for this ensuring our day went smoothly and perfectly.
