    The venue is absolutely gorgeous. Like breath taking. People raved about the views. Unfortunately they are somewhat hard to work with. We got a lot of push back on any of our ideas that were against the “norm”. We expressed concerns and wants before we signed a contract and then got a lot of push back as we got closer to the event. Myself, bridal party and guests overheard complaints about our wedding during the event and during set up/ tear down. That made it hard to just enjoy. Overall I just felt like we were burdening them by being there and trying to have a celebration. A lot of money to pay to feel that way. Day of some of the details we asked for were forgotten and that was disappointing. If you don’t plan to change up they’re traditional event details, it’s a beautiful venue. But if you plan to make it your own or ask for customizations, be aware it may not happen.

    If you want a super laid back do-it-yourself kind of wedding, this is your place;if you are someone who needs consistent set plans and guidance sprinkled with a little elegnace-you may want to look elsewhere. I booked this venue with full on Sweet Home Alabama(the movie) vibes.I am a city girl but with coronavirus(at the time)still somewhat at play,we booked this charming country outdoor venue to ensure social distancing. We initially loved the venue but what we were not told is that during the time of our wedding, they would be undergoing remodeling to the venue bathrooms and the designated area where we had our rehearsal dinner and got ready the day of.That upset me because it was not aesthetically pleasing at all,no flooring & finishings,and we were not warned that they were going to be doing this. I had to purchase a carpet myself for women's bathroom as they only had plywood flooring and guests were having to walk through wet grass in heels to get to bathroom as they did not yet have an entrance. The venue is owned by a sweet couple who basically runs the entire operation with some family, along with their friend who is the wedding coordinator.Very nice people, but not big on organization/planning.Ie- the day of the wedding my coordinator said they would be there in the morning to set up.The day came, my florists show up, and coordinator is not there, nothing is ready, so my parents and friends scrambled to set up tables. We had the venue until 11pm, but venue owners instructed dj to announce last call at 10pm.Little things like that, where we were told one thing and then those things never came to fruition, continued to happen which impacted my final review of venue.They offered us wedding props but said we would have to pay to rent them-fyi there is a much nicer venue down the road (who is booked out 2 years) that lets you use all props for free and charges the same amount as HPR. The weekend package includes wedding coordinator and shuttle bus (although none of my guest used shuttle services with uber,etc.)amongst other things. Only crucial benefit in opting for weekend package is to ensure there is not a wedding at the venue the night before yours-ie- friday night wedding could occur before your saturday wedding, complicating rehearsal dinner and next day set up. The wedding coordinator was kind but did not do much the day of the wedding or prior,I felt that I did most myself. Ie-I had to call someone to escort myself&my entire wedding party by golf cart to the reception as I could not walk in my dress & my wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found.We had details promised in our package for reception that were not given because they simply "forgot".We were also told the venue had wifi for guests by the owner but again this was not true as I asked for the wifi info during our wedding weekend and was then told by owner they didn't have it. The reception area is beautiful and a huge part of why we committed to this venue.Beyond that, much of the the venue is travel by foot and all locations are just far enough away that, in a wedding dress,tux, heels,you really want to be diligent about how much you have to walk- separate areas of the venue include an area to get ready, the ceremony, to the reception.There is uphill/down hill, gravel and grass torrain.This is also why it was upsetting when my wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found&we needed to be@our reception-we ended up being about a half hour late. Still love you HPR!
