We cannot thank Mike, Karen, and Skye enough for making our wedding day a truly unforgettable and blessed experience! Grace River Island Resort is absolutely beautiful. Mike has been the kindest, most responsive, and easy-to-work-with owner throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and genuine care for our big day made everything so smooth and stress-free. Skye, the venue coordinator, was a true blessing. She went above and beyond throughout the entire day, ensuring that everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed. Her support made all the difference, and we are so thankful for her help. The venue provided everything we could have possibly needed—from vendor referrals and tables, chairs, and linens, to toiletries, hair dryers, and eating utensils. They even had games, grills, beach towels, bridal and groom suites, and a stunning cross arbor. It was clear that everything was thoughtfully provided to make our day as beautiful and seamless as possible. Our families can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, and some are already planning to rent the space again for a family reunion! We are so grateful to the Petersons and Skye for making our wedding day not only memorable but also a true blessing. We will cherish and remember this day for the rest of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our happy hearts! With love and gratitude, Erin & John

Our wedding at Bella Cosa was nothing short of magical — truly the day of our dreams brought to life in the most beautiful way. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the breathtaking landscaping, the meticulous attention to detail, and the exceptional team who made everything feel effortless. Every inch of the property felt like it was made for us, and the atmosphere was pure romance. But what truly set Bella Cosa apart — and what I’ll be forever grateful for — were Shelby and Lori. These two women were absolute angels throughout the entire planning process and on our big day. Attentive, compassionate, communicative, and endlessly kind, they became the rock I leaned on, the calm in the chaos, and the guiding hands that made everything come together perfectly. I genuinely can’t imagine our day without them. Shelby and Lori didn’t just help coordinate a wedding — they helped create memories that will live in our hearts forever. Thanks to them and the entire Bella Cosa team, our wedding wasn’t just an event — it was a flawless, joy-filled celebration that exceeded every expectation. If you’re dreaming of a picture-perfect wedding with a team that truly cares, look no further than Bella Cosa. It was everything I hoped for, and so much more.

Dream Bay Resort was an incredible venue for our wedding weekend. We actually reserved it without ever seeing it in person, which felt like a bit of a leap at the time—but it truly could not have worked out better. Because we were planning our wedding from outside the country, we opted to use their on site property manager / wedding planner Lana and we highly recommend anyone considering this addition to not think twice!! She went above and beyond to make things easier for us, was always available for any questions and was extremely easy to communicate with and was ultimately the reason why our entire weekend went exactly as we hoped it would. She even allowed us to ship packages to her ahead of time so we didn’t have to travel with bulky items. That level of support made such a difference while planning from afar. We hosted three events over the weekend—a welcome party, our wedding, and a brunch. Lana truly brought our vision to life for each one. Her creativity and eye for décor are incredible. She was able to recreate Pinterest inspiration we sent her from just a single photo, and everything turned out even better than we imagined. The entire Dream Bay team was amazing, and they handled the setup and breakdown of tables and chairs for all of our events, which made the weekend feel seamless. One of the best decisions we made was renting out the entire property. Having the resort exclusively for our guests created such a special atmosphere. Being able to walk between the cottages to visit friends and family throughout the weekend made everything feel intimate and relaxed, and it made getting to each of our events incredibly convenient for everyone. Obviously the setting itself is absolutely stunning— the sunsets and waterfront views provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and photos.

I visited many outdoor venues for my wedding, but I knew I was looking for something different. As soon as I toured Diamond D Ranch, I knew it was just what I was looking for: secluded, quiet, beautiful views, animals to see if you wanted to but weren’t a part of the ceremony. I knew Diamond D was it for me when I found out that amongst all of the other things I was looking for, they also had outdoor games that guests could enjoy if they didn’t want to dance. The ceremony area venue is beautiful as is and you can keep it as simple as you want (I didn’t have any decorations out there), or decorate it to the nines. The glass enclosed reception area keeps guests dry while still leaving the beautiful views. You can see for miles and the sunsets are unbelievable and unobstructed. Our day of planner, Krista, who also works at the ranch was amazing. She communicated with me for months, answered my 200000 questions and coordinated everything. She made it seem like everything was perfect that day, even if it wasn’t, I never knew about it. The owners were accommodating and so nice. The views alone are worth booking this beautiful place for - but the employees and owners take it to the next level. If you book with Diamond D, you won’t regret it. Unfortunately, I don’t have all of my photos from the wedding, so I only have a few from our engagement shoot which don’t show the beauty nearly enough. Take a tour - the views and venue will blow you away!

There is plenty of entertainment for the family staying with you whether they are 2 or 92, there is something for everyone to stay entertained. I was nothing but relaxed as the bride the entire weekend and everything went off without a hitch. Their preferred vendors are vetted and held to the same standards. The owners graciously let my husband fly in via helicopter for a very fun entrance!! I will forever brag about this venue and the staff and would highly recommend you go check it out!!

From our first conversation with the Lodge we knew we had found the right venue. The staff was responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, and they genuinely listened to our vision for the day. What impressed us most was how they helped us think through the space to create the best flow for our guests—their suggestions made a real difference in how the night unfolded. The on-site rentals saved us so much stress, and the team's recommendations for local vendors were invaluable since we were planning from out of town. Our guests couldn't believe this beautiful spot was hiding right there at Lake Conway. We had an excellent night, and we owe so much of that to the Lodge's thoughtful team!

Chateau Mariposa is an intimate, Mediterranean-modern estate designed for couples who value presence over production and connection over crowds. We specialize in micro-weddings and elopements, typically hosting celebrations of up to 50 guests, allowing you to stay deeply connected to the people who matter most while enjoying a relaxed, unhurried experience. What makes Chateau Mariposa especially unique is that your wedding becomes a celebration weekend, not just a single event. All weddings and elopements are hosted alongside a two-night stay on the property, giving you space to breathe, gather, celebrate, and truly be present. Our approach is intentionally simple and flexible. We provide a beautiful, thoughtfully designed setting that allows couples the freedom to personalize their celebration with vendors, décor, and moments that reflect who they truly are. Many couples choose Mariposa because it doesn’t feel like a venue - it feels like a place where love naturally belongs.

Chateau Mariposa was beyond great. I had a very intimate micro wedding, only 12 guests total, and finding this place was a sign that it was meant to be, from the moment I booked Carmen answered questions, accommodated our needs, and was beyond helpful. We’ll remember Chateau Mariposa with the warmest hearts. From the moment we checked in, we had our names and a welcome message on the mirror, as well as fresh flowers and a letter from them wishing us the best in our marriage. So much care and thought goes into your stay there, believe me, you’ll feel it until the check-out day, and you’ll wish you could stay longer. We thank you, and we will be back!

Sweetwater Branch Inn (SWB) went above and BEYOND to make my wedding weekend everything I had dreamed of—and more. If I could give SWB a million out of five stars, I absolutely would! My wedding was on March 16, 2025, and originally planned as an outdoor event. The team at SWB was incredibly flexible, allowing me to get creative with the venue and hold the ceremony and dinner in a different location than they usually do which was impressive in itself! Just days before the wedding, a storm was predicted to hit. At the last minute, we ordered a tent for the gardens (something that had never been done before), completely reworked the layout we had spent over a year planning, and somehow, everything turned out perfectly! Adrienne, the event coordinator, and Angel, the food and beverage coordinator, were nothing short of incredible. Adrienne went above and beyond, dedicating extra time and effort to ensure my vision came to life, even with the last-minute changes. Every single member of the staff was truly wonderful. My close family stayed at the Inn and didn’t want to leave! Guests traveled from Canada, New York City, and even Sydney, Australia—and every single one of them raved about their stay. From the friendly and helpful staff to the elegant decor and the delicious food (both at breakfast and the wedding!), they were beyond impressed. I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Branch Inn and the amazing event venue they provide. They do everything with heart, which is so rare these days—and that, above all, meant the world to me and my guests.
