Weekend Wedding Extravaganza for the ages!

Our wedding weekend at this stunning mountain venue Running Cedar Springs was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of nature with sweeping, picturesque views in every direction, the setting alone was a dream come true. But what truly made it unforgettable was the incredible owner, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless from start to finish.
From the moment we booked, they were communicative, kind, and truly invested in making our weekend feel personal and special. Their warmth and dedication set the tone for the entire celebration. They anticipated needs before we even knew we had them and created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for us and all our guests.
The venue itself is breathtaking—sunsets over the ridgeline, lighted walkways, and photo ops at every turn. Whether it was our rehearsal dinner, or dancing under the stars for our wedding, every moment felt elevated by the natural beauty and thoughtful touches throughout the property.
We didn’t just have a wedding—we had a weekend-long celebration full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. If you're dreaming of a mountain venue with top-tier service, kindhearted hosts, and views that will take your breath away, this is the place.
Forever grateful to the team who made our weekend an extravaganza for the ages.

Peaceful location for our intimate wedding

This was a great choice for our wedding day. The string lit path was perfect for our guests to navigate between the venue and nearby parking area. Plenty of parking was available, so we didn't need to contract a shuttle service. We enjoyed the secluded feeling of the venue, which helped everyone relax and enjoy time together. We especially liked having multiple options with gorgeous views to take photos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
