Eldred Preserve Wedding Review

We had our wedding at the Eldred Preserve in October 2025 and it was truly the best day ever! Matt & Curtis are the dream team and made sure our day was perfect. They went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. They were very responsive to all of our emails and were always willing to hop on a call to discuss the details as we were planning. One thing we were worried about was the space in the reception room because we had a 10 piece band and we were at the higher end of the guest count. Matt was able to create multiple floor plan options for us to review and the space set up was perfect. The food was honestly some of the best wedding food we have ever had. The Eldred Preserve grounds are stunning and the hotel is gorgeous. My guests could not believe how beautiful the place was. There is a big lake in the back where we were chauffeured around in a golf cart to take some of our wedding photos. Our guests also enjoyed the lake where they could kayak, walk around the paths, paddle boat and more. The breakfast in the morning is also delicious. Irvin, who runs the hotel, was amazing and worked with us to make sure all of our guests were able to get rooms. The Eldred Preserve is a one stop shop for a wedding and has everything you could possibly imagine to complete your wedding day. We also had our rehearsal dinner/welcome party the night before at the Pergola which is also one of their many nice event spaces. The pergola is outdoors, but has heaters. We were very comfortable on a chilly October night under the pergola. There is also a fire pit nearby that my guests very much enjoyed during our welcome party. Overall, I could not imagine a more perfect venue for our special day.

Wonderful for corporate events!

My company booked The Eldred Preserve for a corporate event in late June and despite only being open for a month, their team knocked it out of the park! I arrived early to set up and witnessed the staff's attention to detail as they carefully placed silverware, steamed linens, inspected glassware, and kept a keen eye out for any imperfection. They were supervised by Chef John Botti, as well as the COO Scott and the owner himself. Once everything was in place and the guests began arriving, it could not have gone smoother. I had requested to have 5 signature drinks available, which they graciously accommodated and served to perfection. There were 2 beautiful (and delicious) charcuterie boards ready for the guests when they arrived and the buffet dinner was served exactly at 6:30 as I had scheduled. The food was delicious, hot and there was plenty of staff on hand to serve it. We also had a presentation as well as some speakers, and the Eldred Preserve provided the audio set-up/microphone and podium that we needed with absolutely no glitches. The grounds are impeccably manicured and so beautiful to look at. When they tell you that they accommodate 100 guests- believe them! We ended up with 108 and it was just right. And I wish that I could have stayed in one of their rooms at the Bradstan Hotel - they are incredible! The whole place is just top notch with regard to decor, attention to detail and cleanliness. Would be a spectacular place to hold a "wedding weekend".
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
