10 out of 10 recommend!
What a beautiful venue, friendly staff and that view!! I got married here on 5/18/24 & it was the best day. It rained on our wedding day, so the ceremony had to happen inside and we didn’t get to enjoy the view as much as I would’ve liked, but we can’t control the weather! Larisa and the venue staff were so helpful with communication throughout the entire process/day and with flipping the room so smoothly. It really helped me be stress free and excited the last week before the wedding. If you’re looking for a beautiful mountaintop wedding, with communicative staff and all the amenities this is the spot for you!

Stunning & unforgettable
I had my wedding here this September and all my guests were absolutely amazed at how gorgeous the venue was. Larisa was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was so kind! She developed a nice relationship with my family and groom’s family- which made the wedding planning process easy!
The wedding package includes a coordinator from the venue- who I would absolutely recommend: Sherry. She who was very knowledgeable, kind, and honestly made me feel so relieved/ less anxious leading up to the wedding and on wedding day. She is familiar with the venue and could foresee and tackle all questions.
Communication was very easy with Larisa and the venue has a lot of amenities to use, as well as referrals. It is also very easy to bring in your own decorations / vendors. The landscape is stunning!
It was wonderful having the getting ready rooms right at the venue. Additionally, there was a small cabin that the groom and I rented for the night of the wedding: which was perfect and so cute/ quaint.
We are hoping to go back in a year for anniversary pictures! ❤️
