    My wedding

    I had my wedding in September 7th 2024 and I just love how beautiful everything turned out and all of my guests mentioned how much fun they had I would definitely recommend them to friends and family my favorite part was that it looked like a barn inside and that’s exactly what I wanted I fell in love with it as soon as I seen it

    Beautiful Gem

    We rented the beautiful event center for my daughter's 18th birthday party. It was a huge hit. Guests enjoyed the event center (it was very clean), fishing, the playground, arcade & more. They were super easy to work with, such a great value for your money. I can see how beautiful it would be to have a wedding/reception/anniversary party there. We are thinking about planning a graduation party here as well since it was enjoyed so much by our guests. A+++ Highly recommend!

    Extremely helpful, beautiful venue!

    My daughter is in the military and decided to get married with only 2 months notice. American Wilderness helped with all the pieces I would need to think about, including a recommendation for a caterer. They were so pleasant to work with, and everything went perfectly. My daughter and her groom LOVED the venue and we received many compliments on how gorgeous it was. I would definitely recommend this venue!

    Baby shower.

    Hidden gem location. Beautiful and rustic. The staff were very friendly and helped during the set up which isn’t required but really added that “extra touch”. Has beautiful glass windows in the back which has a pretty view. Would definitely recommend 100x over. We loved that we had the freedom to decorate how we wanted and had the time before and after the party.

    Hidden Gem!

    This venue is definitely an hidden gem! When we seen this venue we knew right away we had to book with Allison. The gorgeous wood inside the venue was an added bonus. It’s so beautiful! We wanted something rustic, simple but also elegant. Our wedding guest raved about how beautiful this venue was. It’s amazing how many complements we received that night about the venue. I can’t brag enough about how amazing it was to work with Allison. I was a COVID-19 bride who had to push back our date and l was so worried about everything. Allison talked me out of a few Panic attacks. Allison is very kind, friendly and easy to work with. She definitely was...

    Graduation event

    I did not have a wedding here but I had my daughters graduation party. There was 100 guests and everything went beautifully. The venue was set up and ready for me to decorate upon arrival and clean up was a breeze bc all I had to do was take out the trash. Everyone was professional and friendly and accommodating to all of the kids. Thanks again American Wilderness!

    Definitely recommend!!

    Their venue is the perfect canvas for an intimate and rustic reception! I was going for an inexpensive rustic but elegant look! Because the venue is so beautiful and nicely laid out, with gorgeous windows, I was able to save a lot on decorations. I splurged on just the lights and chairs. Everything else was so simple yet it looked so much more expensive than it was. Their team is great, so friendly and professional. Everything was clean and tasteful. You'll love having your wedding at American Wilderness!

    10/12/19 Wedding

    We had our ceremony outside with 56 degrees and sunny, it was perfect! American Wilderness did a great job at making sure everything was ready for us to set up our special day. Wonderful venue to work with and wonderful people. Inside was clean and the log cabin event center made for a beautiful setting. Any questions I had were answered in a timely manner. I wouldn’t have had our wedding day any other way!

    The hall was absolutely gorgeous and fit the perfect amount of people for our wedding. Alison was very responsive, nice, and helpful. If you want a rustic feel to your wedding, I would definitely recommend booking this venue.

    Amazing venue!

    The most unique, beautiful, and organized venue! I loved having my wedding reception here! I got to decorate the hall how I wanted and my guests were able to camp at the campgrounds.

    Beautiful rustic wedding

    I organized my niece's wedding at this venue, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Very rustic with beautiful lighting that makes the event appear romantic. We had the wedding outside and reception inside. They have a list of vendors that we used which made life so much easier! Extremely nice people to work with and an amazing location for a wedding or any other large event!

    Phenomenal Vendor!

    Allison was just the easiest person to work with, she answered any questions I had quickly and accommodated with things I needed done. The venue at American Wilderness Campground is the rustic look I was looking for, very affordable and absolutely gorgeous inside. Overall, I would recommend this event center to anyone looking for a wedding venue because it is worth every dollar and checks so many things off your list as a bride who’s going for a rustic look. My favorite was that you get to bring in your own alcohol for your event, that way I knew exactly how much I was spending on liquor verse an open tab. My wedding was absolutely perfect, purple and gorgeous!

    Beautiful venue for a great price

    My daughter had her wedding reception here and it was absolutely perfect. Everyone was so helpful and so accommodating to her every need. I loved that we could bring In our own food and alcohol. The venue itself is beautiful and clean and just the perfect atmosphere. Parking was perfect. Our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been too.

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception inside the event center.

    American Wilderness is a beautiful place! The event center is wonderful and the grounds are picturesque. Alison made everything so easy for us to plan. She recommended the caterer we used and they were outstanding! She arranged for a bartender and parking attendant. Staff was courteous and cared about making our day special. I would definitely recommend American Wilderness for your wedding.

    The Best Day of Our Lives!

    AWC was the BEST experience ever! My husband and I worked with the most polite and diligent staff members. They were incredibly professional and extremely helpful in helping us achieve our dream wedding amidst all the craziness of Covid. They were also incredibly understanding and helpful since we had to plan the wedding while living long distant. The event center is gorgeous, unique, and intimate. I highly Recommend hiring this vendor!

    We had our wedding here 3 weeks ago in the event center and we could not have picked a better place! The venue is beautiful and the staff was very easy to work with. The bartender (hired through American Wilderness) was beyond amazing! He came up to the head table periodically to check and see if we needed anything else. Would recommend this location to anyone looking to have a beautiful rustic (and air conditioned) wedding! :)
