Amazing venue!!
Chattahoochee Nature Center was an incredible venue for our wedding day. The team (Fabiola & Caroline) went above and beyond to make our day special and worked with all our vendors to make the day run smoothly. Our guests were raving about the beauty of the CNC for months afterward. We got married in May and the trees/flowers were beautiful. Thank you for making our day so special! -

CNC Wedding
This was a fantastic venue for our wedding. There are a number of staff who help address any question you have. Everyone is friendly and responsive. CNC is also an amazing place that helps wildlife and contributes to education and conservation, so in addition to the cost securing you an awesome venue, you are also contributing to an amazing cause. Would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and the outdoors. -

The perfect day!
Perfect for nature lovers. A hawk was swooping over our ceremony and we could hear spring peepers singing along on the dance floor. All the staff was so kind and attentive. Thank you CNC! -

Excellent venue! Best kept secret in Roswell
Loved the natural beauty of this venue. We did a minimal amount of decorating for the engagement party because the setting was perfect. The open air pavilion has some cafe lights to provide mood lighting. The stone fireplace is a nice feature in the space too. Nonprofessional photos.-

High Meadows School Retreat
From initial communication to all the details coming to fruition, the event team at the Chattahoochee Nature Center was incredible. The space was beautiful and the customer service impeccable. We are so grateful and thankful to CNC for helping us kick off our school year with intention and inspiration! -

Excellent site for wedding & reception! Staff is very pleasant and professional. So beautiful in fall!
We had a wonderful experience with Andrea guiding us through planning & the wedding day. Her suggestion to contact Roswell’s Ted Basco made it very easy to plan the best hotel for our out of town guests. Andrea was very professional & always positive during the challenge of navigating through a year with Covid. Although we had correct spacing for guests, it did not feel awkward. It was a beautiful night & the pavilion was beautiful with lighting. The staff made sure guests were guided from wedding to reception. We appreciated everything and were glad to discover that Andrea & other staff were already well known for their excellent event management! We met the couple who had their wedding the night before & they told us they had a good experience too. -

The Experience of a Lifetime
Beautiful, classy and fun. That's how guests described our wedding at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. In the middle of a pandemic we were able to host an outdoor wedding that will be talked about for years to come. On a 127-acre nature preserve, the Chattahoochee Nature Center offered us the privacy and flexibility we needed to host an intimate wedding outdoors. The venue could not have been more beautiful and Fabiola, Andrea and the rest of the crew were knowledgeable, helpful, thoughtful, sweet and just a great group of people to work with. We could not have asked for a better location, or a better staff to make our dream wedding come true.-

Amazing, beautiful venue!
I am a wedding photographer, and I just had the privilege to photograph a wedding at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. I was blown away by the natural beauty when I first visited the venue with my couple to do their engagement photos there! Not only is it a gorgeous place to get married, but the center's staff (particularly Andrea) really go out of their way to make the day PERFECT for their clients! I had such a wonderful experience working with them! I highly recommend them as the perfect place to get married! -

The Chattahoochee Nature Center
The Ben Brady Pavilion is a unique and scenic venue which is ideal for hosting events outdoors. The accessibility and comfortable amenities (clean bathrooms and a catering kitchen) provide support for private events. They have plenty of chairs, tables and linens as well. Views of the water and the cozy fireplace add such charm. No matter what the occasion, this is an ideal location to host any private event. The staff work hard to insure a successful event. We appreciated their efforts! -

Wonderful Couples bridal shower amid China virus
Thanks to Andrea and the attentive team at the Chattahoochee nature Center in Roswell Georgia my family had a beautiful couples bridal shower 8/30/2020 under the lights of the Ben Brady Pavilion. Her attention to detail and the beauty of the outdoor venue enabled us to host a safe, fun and loving celebration for the couple and family of all ages. Highly recommend this venue for any occasion! -

Ben Brady Pavilion....all you want in an outdoor venue
The Ben Brady Pavilion is a lovely space to hold an event. The large pavilion is mostly covered and sits right on the water. As night falls, the strung cafe lights add ambiance and charm. There is even a huge hearth and fire place for cooler evenings. The spacious green lawn adjacent to the pavilion is great for overflow for larger parties. The pavilion comes equipped with a large catering kitchen and well maintained restrooms. The staff at CNC are responsive, helpful and kind. You can tell they love what they do and are proud of where they work. -

Stunning location for a wedding
We recently filmed a small wedding at Chattahoochee that had been adjusted due to Covid. The outdoor locations were safe and beautiful, and there were many gorgeous backdrops for photos. As a videography team, we'd love to work there again and would absolutely recommend it to clients in the future! -

Top Ten Venues
The Chattahoochee Nature Center is one of Southern Crust's favorite venues. We love the relaxed nature of weddings there; it's the perfect complement to our '53 Chevy truck and our amazingly delicious pizza.
Your photos will blow you away. The beautiful grounds, the pavilion with its draping all lite up after the sun goes down. Having your first dance under the stars. -

Gorgeous Outside Facility for our Yoga Community
The Outdoor Pavilion is an absolutely beautiful facility! My yoga community is practicing outside now and we truly appreciate the natural beauty of the land, lake and nature sounds during yoga classes. The structure of the Pavilion is architecturally stunning with an outdoor fireplace, sound system and restrooms on premise. Everything is clean and the staff is very supportive and accessible. -

Best Ever for our Events
The Georgia Daffodil Society has found this venue to be a good size to have our Georgia Daffodil show each year. They are very accommodating for showing our daffodils with the setup we need for showing our daffodils and designs. Parking is accessible for hauling in our paraphernalia. -

Great time in a safe outdoor environment
A big thanks to The chattahoochee nature center for making it possible to hold our celebration. With the many concerns these days I thought once again this would end up being another cancellation and disappointment. With this being a an outdoor environment and the help of Andrea and Fabiola we were able to pull it off without a hitch ! Plenty of room under the pavilion and lawn to spread out and consistent cleaning and Nice reminders to guests to not have too many congregate in one place. For a late July evening the temperature was very pleasant too !
You have to go see the venue it’s not your typical Pavilion. The lighting and draping made for a spectacular evening ! Thanks again for a great time ! -

Amazing service
Unfortunately we had to cancel our wedding due to COVID, but up until that point and even after we have continued to receive excellent service. Andrea was such a pleasure to work with and helped us with every detail. For someone who didn't know what they were doing and didn't have a wedding planner, she made the process easy and guided me through it. I highly recommend this beautiful venue! -Allie and Andrew -

Beautiful views, Amazing Customer Service
We knew that the CNC was the perfect place for our wedding , the first time we visited! Tucked back in over hundred acres of nature, the pavilion and ceremony site is breathtaking. Even during these unprecedented times of COVID, our event coordinator, Andrea, has been extremely responsive and proactive. I feel for those who have had to reschedule their weddings due to the pandemic, but if anyone is looking for a new venue -- I absolutely recommend the CNC. An absolutely wonderful experience thus far. -

Would recommend the CNC to any couple looking for an amazing venue to host their big day!!!
My fiancé and I were originally scheduled to be married on September 25, 2020, with 80% of our guests traveling to from NY to GA. Due to the current health risk we are all facing and NY especially we didn't feel safe to continue with our plans so we made the heartbreaking decision to postpone after over a year of planning.
Andrea and the Chattahoochee Nature Center did not blink an eye to assist with finding us a new date and postponing with no charge or penalty. We are so grateful for Andrea and the CNC for being so accommodating during this difficult time. Not only is the venue beautiful but the caring they show towards their clients goes above and beyond!
Our Wedding was amazing!!
I cannot express enough how Andrea and her staff at the Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC) made our wedding the most special day! After having to postpone from September 2020 due to COVID, Andrea worked with us every step up-to and during our big day. The staff at CNC were attentive and welcoming to us and all our guests.
The CNC is such a beautiful place, and I would recommend this venue to anyone that wants a private, elegant venue for their special day. The pavilion at night overlooking the river is breathtaking. Also, a bonus is that we can visit the CNC any time we want to literally walk down memory lane of our extraordinary day! Thank you, Andrea and the CNC staff, for the perfect day! -

This is the most beautiful venue... I was so happy with how my wedding turned out here! The property is very large and there are several sites to choose from. We had our ceremony in the meadow and the reception at the pavilion on the lake. The entire property is so peaceful.
The venue coordinator, Andrea, was fantastic and very easy to work with. The whole staff was very welcoming.
The only thing I did not love is that there is only one alcohol / bar company you can use here and I was not thrilled with them.
Overall, we are very happy with our wedding experience here and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a beautiful outdoor wedding! -

This location was perfect for us - we loved the ability to have a secluded ceremony and reception all at one place! Guests raved about how beautiful the Pavilion was at night too! Thank you so much to the CNC staff and volunteers for making our day run so smoothly - heat and all! Our wedding had a 'threat' of rain and Andrea helped us find a tent. We ended up lucking out, but the tent overlooking the lake ended up being absolutely stunning! -

I am very pleased with my experience at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Robin was a delight to plan and work with. She walked around the entire property to show us every possible ceremony site for our small and private wedding. I loved her ideas and am very happy with the one we settled on. My fiance and I did a walk through two weeks before our wedding to make sure everything was in place. She was extremely responsive to email and even did a separate walk through with my photographer the week of our wedding. -

We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Not only is it a gorgeous outdoor venue, the Ben Brady Lakeside Pavilion is a great space that's covered so that your guests don't feel like they're unprotected against the elements. Many of the amenities that we needed were also available through the CNC, so we didn't have to worry too much about getting tables and chairs. It's also a wonderful feeling knowing that while we found a great location for our wedding, the money is also going back to a non-profit organization in our local community.
Our wedding was in November and was supposed to be during the driest time of the year, but it decided to be frigid and raining all day. Robin and her staff was able to help coordinate and move the entire ceremony under the pavilion. Our wedding was so beautiful and everyone had so much fun. We really can't thank Robin and her staff at the CNC enough for such a rememberable experience that we'll cherish forever. -

We could not have picked a more perfect venue! We absolutely loved being on the water. The pavilion was perfect for the wedding, dinner and reception!!! Not to mention, it made transportation a snap being all in one place. They even had a perfect little hidden nook that my husband and I were able to grab a quick bite on a small pier hidden away! -

I gave this wonderful/beautiful place 5 stars because I absolutley loved getting married here. I wanted a simple quit beautiful wedding next to the lake and that's what I got. Karen was super friendly and helpful and she chose the perfect place for my wedding. She closed off a trail that leads to a sitting area looking off at the lake. She even put signs up for me and bench covers and even trimmed trees for us!!! I totally recommend the wonderful place! Oh and don't forget! You can even look at the cute little animals! -

We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. Karen at the Nature Center was extremely quick answering any of our questions as well as extremely professional. The entire staff there was always very polite and helpful. The pavilion at the Nature Center is gorgeous - especially in the evening with all the lights! It has an elegant yet casual feel all at the same time. All of our guests have commented over and over what a beautiful venue this was. I would certainly recommend the Nature Center and Karen in a heartbeat! -

We were extremely happy with the service that we received from CNC and in particular, Karen Kuhlke. The week of my sister's wedding my father was hospitalized and Karen was beyond helpful. She stayed in contact with all of our vendors and made sure that everyone was on the same page. She provided them with specific details on delivery times and her contact information in case anyone had questions.
The day of the wedding our caterer showed up 3 hours late and 15 minutes AFTER the ceremony was scheduled to start. When Karen noticed that the caterer was not there at the scheduled time she contacted the vendor and maintained contact until the caterer finally arrived. Once the caterer arrived they were beyond disorganized. Karen went above and beyond her job and coached the event lead from the catering company on set up. Without her assistance we probably would not have had any food to serve our guest.
The entire staff at the CNC is extremely helpful and experienced which is crucial to your wedding being a success. I highly recommend the CNC for your wedding. -

My daughter's wedding was beautiful and everyone loved it . Karen Kuhlke , the vendor sales manager at the center did an exceptional job . She is pleasant , hard working and great organizer . She matches the goodness of the center . The pictures are beyond beautiful and with the greenery we didn't need a lot of flowers . I recommend the center to anyone that is looking for a unique wedding . -

I was so pleasantly surprised with how much assistance the personnel assisted with vendor coordination and setting up!They were amazing. I never waited more than a 24 hrs (usually only a few hrs) for a response to any question I ever had. I changed the wedding ceremony site a couple of times and Karen went with the flow and let us have our vision. I literally had planned every little detail of our ceremony and reception and my vision for our day had come to full fruition at the CNC! We had 160-170 guests and plenty of room for fun, food and dancing. I would recommend this venue to anyone. -

Begin by imagining compassion in your heart. Start with nature and a love for a beautiful day that only it can bring to you. Then imagine a group of people dedicated to preserving and sharing that environment with you. Imagine a field that opens into that day where you have the moment that puts all moments into their proper perspective - the present. And after you exchange your vows and hear the best words you can hear - "I do," you walk down to a pavilion on the water where the sun is setting and all of the people who love you and your wife watch the sun set and a night of the best festivities begins.
Through all of this, I had no worries, no distractions, only joy. Karen Kuhlke - the venue manager and her outstanding staff, had so much to do with that. She is one of the kindest most patient and caring people. Weddings aren't easy. There's stress, especially about perfection (although your bride's presence takes care of that in one moment), but through all of the logistics from rehearsal, set-up to breakdown and all the coordination in between, Karen was there.
The Chattahoochee Nature Center provided great facilities for the bridal suite and a gymnasium for the groomsmen. Trust me groom and groomsmen - that's a great place to get ready. It really is. For the bride and bridesmaids - there's plenty of space for getting ready (and staying tucked away from the groom - but not too far away). And for kids coming to the wedding, the Nature center remains open and it's a lot of fun for them.
And to remember it all, they engrave a stone with you and your spouse's name and a personal message. We'll always be back. We'll never forget it. Thanks Karen! Thanks Chattahoochee Nature Center! -

There is absolutely nothing negative to say about the staff at the Chattahoochee Nature Center and the venue overall. Everyone worked their hardest to make sure that our wedding was the most spectacular event we could ever imagine. The forecast was not great for our day, and the staff was totally prepared for the rain should it have come and really worked with us to make sure we could still have everything the way we envisioned. Thankfully the rain did hold off and the ceremony happened and the meadow as planned and the tent I rented last minute was just there for looks! At the end of the night, we had some people waiting around to leave and the staff people were so nice and understanding, did not kick anyone out or really even seem bothered that we were there a little later than planned. I would truly recommend this venue if you are looking for a unique, outdoor wedding venue. -

We almost forgot to check out The Chattahoochee Nature Center. That would have been a huge mistake. It was love at first sight and we knew that we had found our venue the minute we stepped on the grounds. It is the most perfect place if you are looking for a natural outdoor setting. Not only can you embrace the beauty of the outdoors but you can incorporate it into your decor and ideas. We held our reception at the Bill Brady Pavilion and also held our ceremony under the mature oak tree on top the hill. It was beyond perfect, a one-stop destination that morphed from a dreamland on beautiful spring day to a fantasy world with a nighttime star-lit canopy overhead. Our wedding turned out to be all that we had dreamed of. The staff at CNC was amazing and exceptionally helpful in making our dream a reality.

Karen at the Chattahoochee Nature Center was great to work with in planning my wedding! She made herself available over email, phone or in person as needed. She is knowledgeable and helpful! I loved that my guests were able to see some of the best that Roswell has to offer in the CNC. -

We love the CNC!
Getting married at CNC was incredible. It is not only a beautiful venue but their staff were amazing during our event. They provided a golf cart and drove our older guests between the ceremony, reception, and parking lot. They were super responsive and helpful in the booking and planning process. We loved supporting the nature center and that they brought their ideals into the planning process (asking our plans for leftovers to avoid food waste). On the day of they worked with us to balance plans for rain and liaised with our coordinator.-

Beautiful Venue and Incredible Team!
We had our dream wedding at the Chattahoochee Nature Center! It's a beautiful space with multiple areas that our guests were able to enjoy. Our wedding was toward the end of November, so the colors and scenery with breathtaking for pictures. Although the sun set early that day, the CNC team helped us make use of the space in the dark. Overall, the events team was very helpful from the planning phase to the follow ups, visits, and the day-of. The team was a little slow to respond in the beginning due to their busy season for events, but they were very communicative to answer questions and help us plan our wedding leading up to the event as it approached closer. The CNC team was also very flexible with how we envisioned our wedding to flow and allowed us to create a very customized experience for our timeline, floor plans/mapping, and vendor arrangements. We overall had an incredible experience working with the CNC and were able to create stunning memories of our wedding in nature.-

Dreamy Forest Wedding
Fabiola and Caroline were a delight to work with and this was the perfect venue. It was dreamy, accommodating, and affordable- plus it felt great to know we were paying to support a wonderful community organization! Also if you book here you can get married under the wedding arch my dad made and donated :)-

Meeting space
Our club has reserved the double classroom for many years now and have had a great experience. The room has always been ready, and though we make a little bit of a mess (we bring plants inside), we have never been asked to clean it up spic and span. The staff has been accommodating for any special requests we have. -

A beautiful venue- rain or shine!!
CNC did not disappoint!! Despite the rain on our big day, CNC helped us adapt our big day and made it so beautiful, cozy and so much fun. They were willing to work with our various needs, and calmly dealt with changes as they arose. I would not change a thing about our day, and am grateful to have hosted it there.-

The most perfect place I could have chosen as my wedding venue! The pavilion was beautiful at night, and our guests enjoyed walking through the gardens before the ceremony (much to my chagrin as we were taking pictures). It is a unique venue, and I love that our money goes back into the community. -

This was a wonderful experience for my husband and I. Karen was very professional and helpful. She recommended vendors for us... Talk of the Town is highly recommended, great food and timely! The Pavilion is amazing at night, beautiful lights and drapery. This was definitely a memorable experience. This is the perfect Fall Venue... All the trees changing colors, perfect temperature, no mosquitoes... just perfect. -

My husband and I had our wedding reception at CNC last month and could not have been happier with the planning process, service and location. What initially drew us to the nature center was the setting. We're outdoorsy people and loved the outdoor setting that wasn't overly rustic but wasn't over the top either. The pavilion next to the pond, the fireplace, the café lights... it fit us perfectly! The price was very reasonable compared to other venues we looked into as well with fewer vendor restrictions.
From our first visit to our wedding day, Karen, the event coordinator at the center, brought much needed organization and calm to our day. She suggested rental companies, checked in periodically about organizing a walk through, allowed us to visit with family to see the venue whenever we wanted and always had a prompt answer to our questions.
The day before and day of our wedding day turned pretty chaotic when the predicted high temp (65 degrees earlier in the week with highs in the 80s just days before) dropped to just 40 degrees with 30mph winds. After being in touch with myself and my family regarding tent rentals, draping, heaters, whatever we could do to save the atmosphere and keep our guests happy, Karen ended up spearheading a CNC first by helping move our reception inside at the last minute. She kept communication with vendors going, stayed for the entire reception to make sure things went smoothly and was there again the next morning when we went back to pick up some of our decorations. Overall, we were astounded by her commitment to make our wedding day a great celebration and extremely pleased with the Chattahoochee Nature Center as a reception venue.
Pros:beautiful nature setting, fair pricing, various catering options, can bring in own alcohol, highly organized and flexible staff
Cons: need for multiple vendors, earlier closing hours than some other venues, difficult to plan for inclement weather -

Our wedding day was very special. We planned to get married outdoors. However, the weather forecast showed rain foe our big day. It was stresful with the rain and all, but Karen had a plan B for us. In the end, it all worked out perfectly! We ended up getting married at the pavilion and it was beautiful.
Big thank you Karen for working with us.
The Chattahooche Nature Center is beautiful place to get married. I knew this was our venue from the first time I read about it online. -

A wonderful venue! Made to be improved by your own decor. We set up starting at 2pm and had our background music playing by 5:30pm. We brought in EVERYTHING. And it was worth every second of the work and logistics. The staff was great - pretty easy to work with. We took advantage of all they had to offer - even the canoe on their pond! Our pictures are at: www.heartitraces.com/blog/ You can see what we did with the venue. -

The chattahochee nature center was the perfect spot for our wedding. It was very beautiful. And Karen was so helpful. She gave us great tips and told us what other couples had done. There were so many awesome picture. All of our guests had a wonderful time. There were two thing that I was not allowed to have an that is why I did not give them five starts all around. I could not have sparklers and I could not have my dog there. But it was all around wonderful other then that. If you was a fun out door easy going wedding. This is the place to pick. -

Karen and the staff at the Nature Center were excellent to work with. At first we had a tough time picking a date because they only do two Saturday weddings a month, and May was already booked. It ended up being lucky we got June 15th, because it rained every other weekend during the spring! Karen usually responded immediately to my questions, though sometimes during the busy months it took a couple days. She was awesome to work with because her daughter had just gotten married, so she understood what I was going through and helped me keep calm during the walk through, etc. The Nature Center itself is beautiful. It almost completely an outside venue, and looks really cool dressed up for a formal occasion. We loved it and our pictures came out beautifully too. :) If I was going to get married again I'd still choose the Nature Center for my venue! -

My wedding was the best day ever thanks to Karen Khulke! She was so helpful in guiding my family, fiance, and I towards making decisions. Did I mention it was a terrential downpour on my wedding day?? It didn't matter. Karen took no nonsense from the tent vendors in making sure that everything was set up correctly, so as not to ruin any part of our reception. The setting was so intimate and lovely. We have had so many compliments on what an amazing venue the Chattahoochee Nature Center was! The only problem (if you would call it one) was the one we ran into when trying to think of something for the exit. Due to this being a nature preservation site, sparklers and confetti and such are not an option. My mom and I found a great dissolving confetti that sparkled like snow that worked perfectly!
Karen was so prompt in responding to e-mails and phone calls. She ensures that everything is done in a timely manner and really hears you in what you need and want as a bride-all while being honest and realistic about what is possible. I have Karen and the vendors who she suggested to thank for an amazing wedding reception. -

A Magical Evening
Our October 2021 wedding was absolutely stunning. The nature center was a beautiful background for our ceremony and we loved being able to dance under the stars during our reception at the pavilion. Fabiola was easy to work with and was flexible in working with our vendors. We would recommend the Chattahoochee Nature Center to anyone looking for a unique wedding location.-

The Nature Center is a beautiful outdoor venue which still provides cover in the event of bad weather. The pavilion is situated directly on the Chattahoochee River and is huge. We did have rain so held the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception under the pavilion. Plenty of room. We had a full size bar, food buffet, full band, cake table area, present table area, estate table and tables for all guests. for the ceremony we had a beautiful Arbor at the end of the aisle. -

Karen was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely helpful in finding affordable rental companies, and suggesting other added touches to our wedding. She was on-site on the wedding to oversee the event, and helped us adjust our plan for the day after we ended up getting rained out of our original plan for ceremony location.
The Chattahoochee Nature Center is a gorgeous location for a wedding! If you are looking for an outdoor wedding, this is the best value you will get that is still within reasonable distance of the city. The greenery is lush and beautifully landscaped. We didn't even get flowers for our event, because the nature around us was more than enough. If you are looking for a more casual, fun feel to your wedding, the CNC is a great choice. I could not recommend it highly enough! -

60th Birthday Celebration
This place is not just for weddings. We had a fantastic 60th birthday here! The band, Shindig My Event, and the caterer, Chef Cary’s Cuisine, were superb. The Ben Brady Pavilion at the Chattahoochee Nature Center had it all. Beautiful outdoor setting, place for a band, space for dancing, restrooms, huge gas fireplace, and a caterer’s kitchen. An issue however involved the communications and coordination for reserving the venue. While we were initially told it was available September 30th, there were about 10 days of “radio silence” regarding the contract and deposit for the 30th. We were eventually told that another group had already reserved the venue for September 30th but we were offered September 23rd as an alternative. This was frustrating for a couple of reasons. The other vendors couldn’t be secured until the location had been secured. And some key guests who had been holding the 30th of September had conflicts with the 23rd and were unable to attend. -

Beautiful venue for a nature wedding!
Wa had a May wedding with our ceremony at the meadow and reception at the pavilion. We loved how beautiful and natural the venue was and that our guests got to explore on the nature walk on the way to the reception. We were able to access the venue as much as we needed to before the wedding to prepare which was really nice. I also really appreciated that they do a walk through with you and your vendors before the wedding. It helped everyone to be on the same page on the wedding day so everything went smoothly. My one issue was that during our rehearsal we couldn't find a staff member on site and it took a while to track someone down. I was expecting more support from venue staff during the rehearsal and wedding however it fell on my coordinator so I am very glad I hired one. It was not necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of in order to prepare appropriately. They did have staff with a golf cart which was great for older guests and staff to direct people to the reception which was very helpful. Over all loved our wedding at this venue and would recommend the nature center for anyone trying to have a nice yet affordable wedding with a natural setting.-
