The communication with the Monte Verde Inn wasn't the best, but they did get back to us when we needed them. However, the venue itself was a great value for the space. We had multiple meetings with our coordinator to make sure all the details were correct. They handled all the setup and decor, so we just had to show up on the day. The vendors all delivered directly to the venue, so we didn't have to worry about anything not arriving. They really went above and beyond to make our day special in ways that other venues often don't. The house and grounds felt like having a beautiful backyard wedding, with plenty of space to host all our guests. I spent a lot of time getting ready in the large bridal suite with my family. We brought in some of our own drinks and food to the bridal suite which they allow. The staff made sure we had everything we needed on the day and took care of all the setup and breakdown. The food was amazing and the bar was fully stocked. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend this venue to other couples.

If you’re hosting friends or family from out of town, this is a great option as you can use the property for the pool during the daytime and then use lawn for the evening events. The staff were great and we were so happy with how everything turned out!
