We looked at several venues, but The Lodge at Two Moons was undoubtedly the most perfect outdoor setting we could have hoped for. The venue staff, including Shiloh and Amber, were incredibly helpful every step of the way, answering all of our questions and providing guidance throughout the planning process, which makes the venue that much better! Their support truly made all the difference in the stress of wedding planning. And during our weekend on the property, from rehearsal to the wedding to packing up Sunday morning, the staff were so kind and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and that all of our guests felt welcomed and taken care of. The venue itself is so gorgeous, with a unique and majestic outdoor setting that made our day unforgettable. Our guests raved about the incredible food, service, and the breathtaking scenery, and we feel so grateful to Shiloh, Amber, and the entire team for making our wedding day so joyful.
