The venue has a beautiful view, especially at sunset.

That is the positive.
We worked with Kari and Mark for a little over a year on our wedding, multiple in- person meetings and a shared google doc , for wedding planning, which itself sounded like a good idea.
Ultimately we were highly disappointed in the professionalism and unkept promises afforded to us regarding our day. Virtually all of our vendors reported they would not return to this venue due to the lack of professionalism they received from the owners at this venue.
Kari would “edit” our shared google doc without conversation ahead of time. She kept changing our exit time, the time of ceremony as well as other details without alerting us as to what the change was and why. We highly suggest you check this daily as little details matter.
She changed our ENTIRE wedding package without communication including booking an entire wedding on our rehearsal day forcing us to find a different location for that. WE had to find that out on our own.
She also changed our wine selections, again, no communication.

The Airbnb for your Wedding night stay is their primary residence. This is never actually disclosed. Kari and Mark will be staying in the same home as you and your new Husband/Wife the night of your wedding, in the bedroom RIGHT above your bridal suite. You will be sharing your wedding evening with the owners of the venue. Just wanting to make that clear for anyone wanting to book a stay at this establishment.
Kari was rude to our vendors, our photographer stated “Kari was telling me how to do my job.” Our DJ said he would never return there because she was rude to his wife who was running the photo booth (which was amazing, by the way, even though Kari tried to talk us out of one multiple times saying “nobody ever uses them”) We have an entire album from the DJ of our guests enjoying the photo booth.
As we cleaned up to our belongings after the reception was over Kari was rushing around demanding us to pack up. We still had another full hour available to us.

Finally, Kari ruined our final dance. We had opted for a final dance together alone in the reception hall . Half way through the song, Kari ran into the reception hall, interrupted our last dance to tell us that we had to go, the sparklers were running out demanding we do it THEN. There was an ENTIRE box of sparklers leftover (still in my garage) which could have been used or she could have waited for us to finish our dance to light them. Kari made our guests move further apart and ruined the shot our photographer has done multiple times over the years.

We were promised s’mores at the firepit at the patio (per our spreadsheet), she refused to light the propane because she only had a half a tank. I would expect her to be more prepared.
We say all of this to inform the next couple.

Do not agree to an all inclusive wedding package with Pilot Mountain Vineyard and Weddings. You will regret it.

You need a professional coordinator for your wedding day, a real DJ, not a spotify list, a caterer with experience and cake by a cake artist. If you do not, you will sell yourself short, you will have many more regrets than we did.
