Paradise Park - Oregon, MO

Highly highly highly recommend. We did our wedding on a Wednesday and it cost us $1400 for wednesday and tuesday. Weekends are more expensive but still affordable ($3000?) He was so friendly and helpful. He answered all of our questions and allowed us to tour on 3 different occasions with different people.
Our best man is paralyzed. He built a ramp specifically for him so it was more accessible. It was so beautiful and there are so many places to have your ceremony it'll fit any wedding.

Happily Ever After

The venue is beautiful and the owner is so sweet. He takes care of the venue by himself and has been making a lot of improvements and general upkeep of the area recently. There are many places to choose from to have the ceremony, and we were so thankful for that. Our wedding day was cold and rainy and we had planned on having it in the forest, but last minute decided to have it in the barn which turned out beautifully. The owner even let us use some propane heaters to keep our guests warm during the reception. If you love nature or just a rustic setting, this is the place for you. I kept having so many of my guests say it was beautiful and perfect. Plus my husbands' uncle, who was in the army, even described it as gorgeous and my mother in law said she has NEVER heard him use that word EVER. Keep that in mind!

Fairytale Venue

I was MOH in my friend's wedding here last weekend and it was absolutely PERFECT. Rodger, the owner, was so incredibly nice and helpful with everything. We had the venue from Friday-Sunday and when we arrived to set up on Friday afternoon he had already set up all of the chairs for the ceremony. Sunday morning when we came back to clean up he had done almost everything by the time we got there. He went above and beyond to make sure the bride and groom had a perfect day and was there for everything we needed.
The venue itself is GORGEOUS and is like something out of a fairy tale. It has a whimsical enchanted forest vibe that is truly magical. The property is so unique and beautiful and has tons of opportunities for amazing pictures. There are also different options for where you can hold your ceremony and reception depending on your needs, which is another great perk. Paradise Park is a hidden gem in North West Missouri and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Prefect! I wanted a venue where I could be in the woods and I just couldn't find what I was looking for. I took a chance by clicking this profile and I was enamored. Even when we first viewed it in Jan/Feb and snow was on the ground, I knew I'd love it for our fall wedding. It's a very beautiful place he's made and he's great to work with. I had wanted my ceremony in the enchanted forest but rain and dj decided otherwise, but I absolutely wanted it outside still instead of the chapel and we managed to get it into the reception site, the overhead roof thing by the barn. And it still turned out beautifully with the trees in the background. You just have to see for yourself how pretty it is everywhere. The owner is also very accommodating, nice, and willing to work with your visions for things. It was also VERY affordable compared to other venues. The only thing of note I can think of is that it was hard finding chain catering that would deliver (ie. Pizza Hut, fazollis) but chick fil a will. Also, if you use round tables, they don't take up nearly as much space and you might think they do. Completely recommend.

Very friendly and very accommodating. Great with last minute wedding party changes. Great to have back up chapel in case of rain. Giant old barn with coy pond in it unique and great novelty for guests. Owners are willing to help anyway necessary. Beautiful place with lots of options for the ceremony location. Very affordable. Lots of room for Ceremony. Reception. Dance floor. Photo booth etc. A+++++++. Venue

Roderick, the owner, was awesome to work with extremely friendly! I couldn't have asked for a better professional to work with. He will also give you advice on all the vendors that have used his facility if you so desire. So reasonable priced too (the cheapest in fact), when compared to similar venues in the area. I 100% recommend this place to get married if you are having a wedding of 200 guests or less for outside or 125 guests or less inside. You have such a variety of areas to choose from when getting married there! Roderick is Christian and he accepts all types of marriages on his property (LGBT friendly) as well which is also a wonderful plus for any couple looking for a beautiful secluded venue that isn't too far from town. Love love love this place!

We had our wedding ceremony at Paradise Park and we knew how beautiful it was going to be out there. What we didn't know, was all of the fantastic complements we were going to get from our guests! Everyone thought it was so amazing! We got married in the chapel overlooking the trees! Thank you to Roderick Dryden! He was so wonderful making sure everything was perfect! We will never forget our wonderful wedding day out at Paradise Park! It truly was the best wedding venue for us!!
