Incredible Venue!

We recently got married at Tailwater Lodge and have zero regrets. From our first venue tour with Michele, we fell in love with not only the space, but the staff. Everyone at Tailwater was responsive, friendly, informative, and SO helpful! I was amazed by how well the staff worked together to create a flawless wedding day. Michele and her team are incredible and ensured our wedding day was everything we could have ever dreamed of! The team set up all my decorations perfectly and cleaned and organized everything for us to pick up the next morning. We received many compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was, and how beautiful the premises were (even in the rain!) The wedding team is incredibly organized and takes away so much of the "wedding day stress" by being attentive and taking the time to get to know each couple/family. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free wedding planning process and wedding day!

Best day ever

My husband and I got married 10/28/23 at Tailwater and still months later we are reveling in how perfect the day was. From the planning process with Michele and her staff leading up to the day of, and Anne who on the day of totally knocked every little thing out of the park - we couldn't have been happier. The staff makes sure every little detail is just the way you envision it and if you want/need them to change anything they are more than accommodating. Many of our guests told us for weeks after that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Not that I am biased at all... but I think it was too.

The best venue hands down!

We recently had our wedding at Tailwater and couldn't be happier. Everything from start to finish was beyond what we could have hoped for. The wedding coordinator, staff, hotel staff, food, beverage, etc. were top notch. There was not one point during the process where we did not feel like the only wedding they had that year. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible venue will all of the amenities and in a setting you just can't beat! Thank you again for making our day so great!
