We absolutely loved our wedding day at Canyon Run. The property is gorgeous and set a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything felt so natural and authentic and we felt like we barely even needed to decorate anything ourselves! Amy and Gary were wonderful to work with. Amy makes sure she knows all the details of the wedding and made setting the reception layout and ordering linens seamless. Gary's metalwork on the property is so beautiful and he also went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of during our wedding, helping us make sure our getaway car stayed dry from a thunderstorm without being asked! We also hired the majority of our vendors based on their recommendations and all were great picks! Final shoutout goes to Wedding Cat - he was really a crowd favorite!

We just recently had our wedding at Jorgensen Farms Oak Grove on 09/20/2025 and we cannot say enough good things about this venue. For one, the pictures speak for themselves, but the venue is 10x more beautiful (if that's even possible) in person. The ambiance is unmatched, and makes you feel like you're in a modern fairy tale. And that's what the staff at Jorgensen made our wedding day feel like - a fairy tale. Alyssa was our day of coordinator and was absolutely wonderful - she communicated with us very early on and established a timeline based on our wants for the day, and made sure that everything went flawlessly. She assisted with all the other vendors, and when things popped up, I didn't even notice (in the best way) because she had them handled! Paige with catering was also wonderful and a pleasure to work with throughout the process of the tasting, booking, and coordinating the catering side of things. The food was PHENOMENAL, and I think I'm going to need to pay them for their Asiago gnocchi recipe. Our guests are still raving to me about all the apps, salad (uh lemon poppyseed? YES PLEASE), entrees, and desserts (don't sleep on that mini creme brulee). Riley and Mandi with the Jorgensen floral were also gems to work with and created bouquets and arrangements that so exceeded my expectations. Overall, I cannot recommend this venue and their multiple teams enough. Thank you for making our wedding day nothing short of perfect!

We had our wedding here on 10.26.2024 and it was the most magical, perfect day. The venue/planning team was so kind and responsive throughout the entire planning process (we booked the venue in March of ‘22 so, many questions were asked). The ‘rental room’ they offer relieves SO much stress of trying to find decorations and signage, I highly recommend adding it. The list of vendors they give you is a BIG help, utilize it. Our event manager was truly wonderful the day of, we are incredibly thankful to have had her help. A special addition to having a wedding here is being able to stay in a treehouse connected to the Grand Barn AND have friends & family stay at the venue the night of the wedding. How neat is it that your guests can just walk back and go to bed after a night of celebration and laughter?! I truly could not imagine a more beautiful venue to get married at. Everything exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back and stay again!
