    Event center

    Kristy and Denise made renting the event center a breeze. They even helped me along with what other various vendors would be needed. They were experts on how many tables, chairs, and type of setup would be needed based on how many invites went out, which made planning so much easier. They ensured they met the day before the wedding ceremony and went over any last minute details. They were also available during the later hours of the night of our wedding for cabin rentals, etc.

    Fantastic Venue

    Granite Springs Lodge was the perfect place to hold our wedding!! We rented out the entire property for the whole weekend and the amenities and rooms were spotless, the staff was super responsive and helpful, and it was overall very beautiful. I heard nothing but glowing remarks from all of our guests. Would recommend to any bride to be!

    Unforgettably Amazing

    Granite Springs is a beautiful place to use for your venue. It has a lot of great scenery for photos. Any season of the year it is beautiful. All the staff who helped my family and I along the way were a great help. I would highly recommend this venue option to anyone having a wedding near Alexandria. * We rented the Event Center for 1.5 days and the Villas for 2 days. Cost was roughly $3,600.00

    Glad that we could be a part of your special day. Congrats, such a gorgeous wedding! Appreciate it.

    Best venue ever

    Granite Springs Lodge & Event Center was the location of our winter wedding in December 2023. When I say the entire weekend was perfect, I mean it! The lodging was clean & updated. The event center was already set up when we arrived. There was always staff readily available to assist with any questions we had. We cannot recommend this place enough!

    Granite Springs Lodge's reply:

    Thanks so much Ashley for your feedback! You had a beautiful winter wedding. It was a pleasure working with you,
    Congratulations!

    Wonderful wedding venue with the best scenery

    If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor area for your wedding, this is the place to go. In addition, they have a beautiful convention center that was wonderful for our reception (and a good backup for our outdoor ceremony in the event of unexpected weather). Not only was this the most beautiful place to get married, but the owners were very accommodating along the way, answering any question I had in a timely manner and helping us get set up with lodging in the cabins and cottage. Overall, it was a great experience!

    Thanks so much for your feedback we really appreciate it! it was a pleasure working with you! Gorgeous pictures!

    Great Scenic Wedding Location

    We chose this venue because of the scenic views. The staff were great to work with and let us customize our day in many ways. We had the wedding, reception, and photos here. Our photos are beautiful with all of the greenery in the background. Our guests enjoyed spending time outside around the grounds before and after the wedding and reception. We recommend this venue!

    Beautiful Wedding Day!

    Worth the drive! What a gorgeous day and venue! The guests will be talking about this wedding for years to come! Our wedding took place on the beach and that was the reason we chose this venue. . The atmosphere, the water splashing during the ceremony, the beauty and the staff were amazing! The staff were flexible with all of our requests and this made the day go so smooth! We chose the package that included a Friday through Sunday morning stay, and it was well worth it! We also utilized the villas and the house and both were so convenient! Thank you for a beautify day!

    Thanks Megan for your feedback! It was a beautiful beach wedding!

    Absolutely amazing, my wedding was a dream at this venue. I would do it all over again and continue to chose this venue.

    This venue made my wedding my dream wedding I have always wanted and much much more. Couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who wants to have a romantic outdoors wedding where The beauty of nature is breathtaking. Kristy was a pleasure to work with and made sure everything was taken care of. Even last minute when I needed mannequins, she called a friend and immediately had three for me. Wedding planning should not be stressful and this venue made it so enjoyable and stress free.

    Granite Springs Wedding Review

    Granite Springs popped up on our radar because it’s located in my home town. Kristi was amazing. Extremely helpful, answered all of our questions. 30 days before the wedding we ended up switching our caterer and Kristi was very understanding and worked with our new one to accommodate us. This is one of the few venues who allows you to choose caterers not on their list and use small businesses. There was a couple of things that came up the day of, once we told Kristi she took care of them right away and did everything to help make our day wonderful. On top of excellent service, Granite Springs is breathtaking! There is so much beauty outside and inside the venue, we used only a few decorations. If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful venue this definitely for you. On top of the service, the beauty, location, the price is something that’s hard to be beat as well! Cannot recommended this venue enough. They also do other events, and pheasant hunting!

    Beautiful views and friendly staff!

    Had our wedding there mid-July and of course we finally get the rain everyone has been needing (besides me on our wedding day of course 😂) and it rained ALL day but the location still makes for great pictures and the staff was so helpful in transitioning the ceremony to indoors. Once the ceremony was over the sun was shining and we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and be outdoors!! Lodging is also a huge plus. They are flexible and willing to answer all of your questions.

    I couldn’t recommend any place better! The venue was stunning. Christy was so accommodating and helpful! They had everything set up perfectly so all we had to do was add decorations. Just a all over wonderful experience! People still talk about how helpful and kind the staff were and how beautiful of a venue we picked!

    A Truly Wonderful Experience

    Everything was spot on perfect for the wedding. Can’t thank the management of Granite Springs enough for a wonderful transition from decorating, rehearsal, to wedding. The views at Granite Springs are breathtaking and the venue spectacular. All our guest were impressed and the on site lodging was so key for out of town guests. Everything was truly wonderful.

    Amazing!!!

    Considering I married a CPA, the first thing we loved was their clear and concise pricing. We were just about to sign a contract elsewhere when we got into gratuities to the house on top of gratuities to the staff on top of nickels and dimes for things that honestly, should be included. We cut ties with them and started our search over again. We are sooo happy we decided on this venue. They were upfront on all their pricing and on top of that, super friendly and easy to work with. Our guests joked it was an all inclusive wedding that they didn’t have to really travel for because of the beach, water, and lodging on-site. The venue was absolutely beautiful we have zero complaints about our experience and only fantastic memories. 💕

    The day couldn't of gone better!

    Almost a year ago, I was at Granite Springs Lodge for a staff retreat, and put the location on my phone as a potential wedding location. At that time I was still anticipating my now husband to pop the big question. Once he did, without a doubt GSL was the place we wanted to get married. Our wedding was almost two weeks ago (August 29th) and we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful everything was and how great the venue was. Kristy, Brian, and the GSL team made everything so easy and were great to work with. We left the reception thinking there was more we needed to do but everything was taken care of and we were able to rest easy in the BEAUTIFUL/NEW honeymoon suite onsite. We are looking forward to spending our anniversary here for years to come.
