Shea & Shayla 2024

From the beginning, the responsiveness to questions that we had and the access allowed to the venue for planning was great. With this provided we were able to plan exactly the way we wanted the venue to look, from decor to lighting and layout. The wedding was gorgeous, what a great decision to go with the Lodge at Rivercrest!

Absolutely the perfect venue. The views are amazing. Lots of space for outdoor seating, including a wrap around porch that is breathtaking.

Incredible! Would book again and again!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue! It is beautiful and they are so accommodating! I am so glad we chose it as our wedding venue and would recommend it to anybody. The owner is extremely responsive to communication, she aided me with all my questions leading up to the event, and we were allowed to set up the day before and clean up the day after since it wasn't booked by anybody else. There is also a house on the property available to rent if you wish to stay close by.

Beautiful location, flexible manager!

I only have phone photos to share right now, but I would definitely recommend this location! It’s absolutely beautiful! Gill is super easy to work with and gave us the days before and after to setup/cleanup. Must provide your own chairs, tables, etc. you definitely need to purchase and set up extra lighting. Ours had a malfunction and it was very noticeable that more light was needed (if your event is in the evening).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
