Excellent service

If I can give this venue more stars I would!! The service provided was exceptional! The food was delicious all the way around. The servers and Kelly, the event manager, catered to our every need and treated our guests like royalty. I was very anxious on how the decor would be displayed and after every meeting with Kelly, I felt at ease and that she would understand my vision. Kelly handled the timing with everything with such ease and flow. She truly made my dream wedding come to life !

Absolutely AMAZING! 10/10

We had our reception at Smoke Rise and it was absolutely amazing and incredible! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, welcoming and great for photos. We loved being at a country club venue so we can return for a nice dinner post the reception for special events and anniversaries.

The staff took great care of our guests and we couldn't be more thankful. We had multiple guests tell us how wonderful they were and raved about the cocktail hour and dinner food (everyone loved the gyros!).

Working with Kelly and her team was my favorite part of the wedding process - she made it so easy and fun. Kelly is extremely personable and fun to work with - and most importantly made the planning easy! Any question I had, Kelly had a solution too. Thank you Kelly!

The reception space had ample room for a 10 musician band, 125 guests and a live painter. There's so many options to take photos outside and indoors. We absolutely loved having our wedding at Smoke Rise!

Smoke Rise Village Inn Wedding was PERFECT

Our experience with the Smoke Rise Village Inn was wonderful - every aspect of our wedding was perfect and the Inn played a huge role in that. The Catering Manager, Kelly Herchick, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She coordinated with all of our vendors flawlessly. The venue, food and staff were amazing and I can't recommend them enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
