CTA is a beautiful venue nestled away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet easily accessible. The owners and staff were amazing to work with and their preferred vendor list made planning our wedding a breeze! If you want a quaint, lakeside wedding on a private lake, this is the place for you. The bridal suite was large and functional. The guys also had their own getting-ready area on the second level of the grain bin, which was such a cool feature. 10/10!

The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane was an exceptional venue. I used the space for a small gathering and the venue managers were communicative and friendly throughout the entire planning process, and their attention to detail was remarkable. The venue itself was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pine interior that created a warm ambiance. They went above and beyond to support our group, even offering to help us load and unload our decor. This space is stunning for a wedding but would also make a great space for a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, family get together or any other intimate group gathering.

I cannot recommend enough! The entire Grands team was amazing to work with from start to finish! Joe (general manager) gave us an in-depth tour and made sure we knew all of our options. Mel (events director) made sure we stayed on track with timeline and choosing all the details. Larry (entertainment director) made sure our guests had the best time - I don't think the dance floor was ever empty! And we can't forget about Alyssa (day of coordinator) - she made sure the team had us covered in ways we would have never thought. She made the day stress-free, which was a dream!
