I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Hotel!! Our wedding could not have gone more perfect, and Chelsea the wedding coordinator is amazing!! She answered my constant emails, gave amazing suggestions and just went above and beyond in every way possible. I could not have done it without her and her great team and we truly appreciate all they did to make our day amazing! We did not have to leave at all that day, we were also able to get ready in the spa (hair and makeup) and everyone looked fantastic!! I have attached a few photos, I highly recommend the Hotel Julien for any and all events!!

We absolutely loved our wedding at Trapper's Turn Golf Course! The venue itself was stunning, and it created the perfect backdrop for our special day. Working with Claudiu was fantastic—he was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our wedding memorable. Even when we encountered a few hiccups along the way, Claudiu handled them with grace and ensured everything ran smoothly in the end. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the atmosphere and service. We’re so grateful for such a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Trapper's Turn Golf Course to anyone planning their big day! [Photos are curtsey of Tara Draper Photography]
