“Canyon Run was a literal dream come true. Amy was always willing to answer our questions and was super easy to communicate with us. The day of our wedding, she was so so helpful. We happened to get married on the day that the wind and rain from Hurricane Helene hit in Ohio. Obviously, it threw a wrench in our plans and she was so willing to help us out. When we texted her and said we wanted to do a 3 pm private ceremony with our immediate family and bridal party, she immediately stepped in to help, contacting the DJ so we could have our music as we walked down the aisle. She worked with my day of coordinator so that the barn looked perfect for when our guests arrived and we had our official ceremony. It was so beautiful and perfect and despite the weather, an actual dream come true.”
