As a photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working at Paradise Family Farm for a while now, photographing multiple weddings and hosting mini sessions there, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue. First and foremost, the owners are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. They are incredibly easy to work with, organized, and always go above and beyond to make sure every detail is just right. Over the years, our professional relationship has grown into a friendship, and I honestly look forward to every opportunity I have to work with them. The property itself is absolutely stunning. From the beautifully restored barn to the picturesque outdoor ceremony space and beautiful mountains, every corner of Paradise Family Farm photographs like a dream. The scenery is full of charm, making it the perfect backdrop for weddings, engagement sessions, family photos, and seasonal minis. And then there are the Highland cows! They are such a unique and memorable part of the experience. Guests and clients absolutely love the opportunity to spend time with the smaller Highland cows (like Fast Freddy), and they add so much personality and fun to photo sessions. Paradise Family Farm is hands down one of my favorite vendors to work with. Not only do they provide an incredible experience for their couples and guests, but they also support other local businesses such as myself and many others. Their generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for the people they serve make them truly one of a kind. If you’re looking for a breathtaking wedding venue with amazing owners who will make you feel like family, I cannot recommend Paradise Family Farm enough. It is truly a hidden gem, and I feel so lucky to have been part of so many beautiful memories there. — Wendy Scott, Shew Ridge Photography

When my husband and I booked this venue for our wedding, the property was still under construction and existed only as a vision brought to life through renderings. Looking back, I’m so grateful we trusted that vision because we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect location! This venue offers a timeless, romantic setting that truly enhances the vision for your wedding day. Its design, private location, and intimate layout made it the ideal spot for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. What truly set it apart, though, was the incredible team at Lumen House. Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we first toured the property to the final moments of our wedding day, it felt like they were genuinely rooting for us, and they treated us like family. If you’re considering a venue, book with Lumen House—you won’t regret it!

First, it’s beautiful. We did our ceremony at a Catholic church down the street and had our reception at the Rafters, but my favorite photos are by far the ones we took in front of the St Mark’s chapel- it’s so romantic! As a reception venue, it is very reasonably priced, and has everything you could need. We got ready in the adorable carriage house, and we also did my bridal shoot there a few weeks before the wedding- they turned out beautifully. Also, if you book with their caterer (The Flyin’ Lions), you get a discount AND support a good cause! But that’s not even the best part: their food is AMAZING. I am literally still dreaming about the salmon and mashed potatoes from my wedding day, and so many guests told me how much they loved the food. The taste testing was fun too, they have a ton of options! Also, Allison is the best coordinator EVER. You will love working with her, and every vendor I hired that had worked with her before told me the same thing! She is so personable and really gets to know you, and she will bend over backwards to help you with whatever you need. She is fantastic with communication; her responsiveness and helpfulness alone reduced my wedding planning stress. I also loved the preferred vendor list Allison provided; it made it a lot easier to narrow down our vendor choices! Allison and Debbie (from Flyin’ Lions) made our wedding and all the months leading up to it so special and wonderful; we cannot recommend them enough!

Elkin Creek Vineyard was the PERFECT site for our wedding. They helped make our dream day come true even as we experienced an unexpected downpour 15 minutes before the ceremony was to begin. The entire team there made sure we had a fantastic night. We also had our rehearsal dinner as well as stayed property and it was such a delight.

Absolutely a bride and groom's dream come true of a venue. My groom and I toured this venue when it wasn't quite complete in construction yet and we just knew that was where we would get married. Blake, Dana, and Carly have poured their heart and soul into this venue so every couple can feel at home. The bridal loft is so unique and a wonderful place for the bride to decompress before her big day. The groom's quarters truly give him and his groomsmen an opportunity to relax and have fun before the big reveal. And the views from the outdoor patio and ceremony area is the perfect spot to celebrate and gave us the perfect spot for our Mountain themed wedding. Carly and Dana are extremely detail oriented and make sure that their couples and families have the BEST day. From decorations to transitions through out the day, the Whispering Ridge team is there with you every step of the way. I wouldn't recommend a better place for couples to experience and celebrate their love and their wedding.

Communication with Danna was incredible from start to finish. She always responded quickly, answered all of our questions, and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning—the wooded area with the lake backdrop was the perfect setting for our ceremony. One of the things that made our experience extra special was having our wedding party stay in the cabins for the entire weekend. Everything was set up and ready for our guests, and we were able to use all the kitchenware and amenities, which made hosting so easy. Having access to the entire property truly set Klondike Cabins apart, especially since so many venues don’t offer that—let alone at such a great price. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate at Klondike Cabins. The beauty of the grounds combined with the time spent surrounded by our closest friends and family made it all unforgettable.

Rosa Lee Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Their communication was very quick, whether by email or text, which was so helpful during the planning process. Everything was clean and organized, and the price was very reasonable compared to other places, especially considering all that they offer. They made everything so smooth for us on the day, and we even got a complimentary breakfast basket! It was so convenient that they had a house on the property where we could have both our ceremony and reception. The house sleeps 12, so our bridal party was able to stay with us and get ready there as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.
