Great Place

Natalie the catering & event sales manager was great! We had to move the whole wedding indoors due to weather and they were more than willing to accommodating to us. In the end the wedding was beautiful and everything I had wished for.

Wonderful venue, excellent service

The venue coordinator Natalie is so fantastic. She helped us through a few different ideas for our wedding including different locations on the property and changing the size of our wedding. She was so patient with our changing plans and always so excited to help us. Once we finally made the decision on our exact location and guest list size, everything was so easy. Natalie and the staff were very accommodating of special requests, food allergies, even a last minute (as in we found out after the ceremony) guest addition. And they’re dog friendly! We were so thrilled that our dogs could join us at the reception. The food and desserts and open bar(!) were amazing and our guests had so many good things to say. Guest rooms are also beautiful and the King suite is so perfect for getting ready on day-of. Thank you so much Natalie for all of your help in making our day perfect!

Stress-Free

Natalie, the wedding coordinator, does an amazing job of planning everything and making sure all the little details come together. She could always tell when I had questions or didn't understand something very well, she stops, re-explains, and never makes you feel like a burden. She's been working with hotels for 15+ years, so she really knows all aspects of your special day. I'm thankful I got to work with her.

Beautiful venue, great food

This was the main location for our guests and we had our rehearsal dinner the night before the ceremony. The staff was very helpful and accommodating to our guests' needs given there was another wedding the same day as ours. Our guests enjoyed their stay, the spa and salon are gorgeous!

Beautiful, but not as presented.

We went on a tour of the inn and it was beautiful. Immaculately clean and the decor was perfect. They wouldn’t send us pricing information prior to the tour which was a bit concerning but we looked past it. The photos are definitely outdated as there the surrounding area has expanded both commercial and residential wise. It really depends on how you look at it, there’s a Taco Bell and a Starbucks walking distance and also a very nice playground for children within viewing distance of the outdoor reception and ceremony area. It’s not as nature like as it seems online but there’s conveniences which are nice.

Anyway, we were ready to book the venue and so excited we finally agreed on a place and asked if we could get pricing. The coordinator agreed she would get back to us and then crickets… we never heard back. I emailed, called, even submitted new inquiries on their website and absolutely no response. We were very upset because this seemed like the perfect venue since most of our guests are from out of town, but the lack of response and practically begging for a reply is a huge red flag.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
