“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”

“From start to finish, Jennifer and her team brought our vision to life, and helped make our day absolutely seamless. There are endless reasons to book this venue. The creekside ceremony. The harvest barn. The spaghetti and meatballs, roasted green beans and sourdough bread! Months later, our guests are still talking about the food. The barn was so stunning lit up at night. The photo opportunities around the property were perfect. Staying on site in the cabins made our lives so easy, and they were quaint and comfortable. I could go on and on, and we would relive that day over and over again and wouldn’t change a thing.”

“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.”

“From the moment we drove onto Piccione Vineyards, we knew this was the venue for us. The views are absolutely stunning, elegant/classy setting with mountains in the distance, it was exactly what we'd been picturing for our wedding day. The team is AMAZING, Lauren stayed in close touch with us throughout the planning process, always responsive and easy to work with. She made wedding day and the weeks leading up to it a breeze!! Honestly, consider her a friend now with how close we got through the planning process! On the day of our wedding, the staff went above and beyond—they stocked our bride and groom suite with everything we could want and kept it stocked, and when we realized we'd forgotten our table numbers at home, they quickly provided some that fit perfectly with our decorations! The staff treated us like family from the start, and the combination of beautiful grounds, excellent wine, and their genuine care made our day feel truly special. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or staff!!! Trust me when I say this is the best venue around!! Photos by: Southern Stitched Photography (also HIGHLY recommend!!)”
