Awarded Best of Zola
MSR was by far our dream venue. Not only are the views and property absolutely stunning, but Scena and Susanne were incredible to work with. Wedding planning is hard and stressful, there’s always something you didn’t think of, but, believe me, Scena already has and has already worked it out for you. A God send Our family and us had so much fun staying here as well. We loved being able to stay for 4 days, wind down with our close family after the wedding, and relive the moments together. It truly makes the weekend more special when you don’t have to pack up and get out the very next day. I could go on and on about how wonderful our weekend was. I highly recommend MSR and working with Scena and Susanne. It’s worth the trust me!

Harmony Ridge Lodge was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, the team was quick to respond and incredibly friendly. Faith, our day-of coordinator, was a lifesaver. She managed our vendors, pushed us to get certain vendors when needed, and kept us calm and stress-free on our big day. The venue itself is gorgeous, nestled in a beautiful forest setting. The rooms were amazing, with plush bedding and extra pillows and blankets if needed. And the food was outstanding. The chef prepared a delicious breakfast each morning, like a sweet potato sausage hash, eggs, and pancakes, and made sure everyone got a chance to eat before it ended. Most of all, it had all of the forest vibes I wanted. While other wedding venues felt more artificial with its nature, this venue had its gorgeous trees, its rustic rooms, and it was located in a quiet, lovely town. Though it was far away for our guests to travel, it was a very gorgeous scenic drive as well. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Harmony Ridge Lodge!

My husband and I got married at Twenty Mile House, and choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the moment we toured the property, we knew it was something special. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, towering trees, beautiful gardens, and the feeling of having your own private mountain retreat. Our guests are still talking about how magical it was. What truly sets Twenty Mile House apart is the all-inclusive experience. Having so many vendors coordinated through one team made planning so much less stressful, and everyone worked together seamlessly. The staff was organized, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our vision come to life. Our wedding weekend felt like more than just one day; it felt like a vacation with all of our favorite people. The on-site accommodations allowed us to spend quality time with our family and friends, and everything from the rehearsal through the wedding day ran smoothly. Even when unexpected things came up, the team handled them with professionalism and calm, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. If you're looking for a venue that is stunning, unique, and supported by an incredible team, I cannot recommend Twenty Mile House enough. We would choose them again in a heartbeat, and we'll cherish the memories from our wedding weekend for the rest of our lives.
