Awarded Best of Zola
My son & now daughter-in-law had their wedding here 9.14.24. It was absolutely a beautiful setting! Mike is organized and had multiple conversations with us through the entire process. It was so nice that the wedding party could stay with the Bride & Groom on site. They have thought of all the details to stock the resort with everything we might have needed. Mike & Karen were going out of the country on the day of my son’s wedding but left us in good hands with their assistants Skye & Aaron. Everything went great! This is such a beautiful setting from the long entry way to the sunset on the water.

We had our wedding at The Tree House as a destination wedding. Communication was a little rocky throughout the planning process; I had to reach out for everything, as not very much was readily explained. I spent a lot of time planning and making my own things. Because of this, I was nervous about how the wedding would turn out. However, it was absolutely beautiful and it all came together due to their help and setup. They had wonderful vendors- the photographer, baker, food, DJ, and servers were all amazing. The day was perfect and I wouldn’t change anything.
