“From our first conversation with Kourtney, we knew C&C by the Lake was going to be our venue. She was responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel less stressful. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous—we barely needed any decorations because the venue already had so much natural beauty. On our wedding day, Connie was incredible and handled every detail without us having to ask. She jumped in whenever we needed something and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We honestly didn't worry about a thing, and that peace of mind made our day so much better. C&C by the Lake is worth every penny and we can't recommend them enough!”

“The Stables at Cherokee Creek was an amazing venue for our wedding. They were amazing at communication and letting us pay the monthly payments on time! The space was so beautiful, not just the barn, but the suites and bathroom was just amazing. Pam at the Stables helped make sure everything was going on time, Hannah wasn't in town that day but she was messaging me about things to help the day as well! It rained so we had to move everything inside last minute and everyone still made it work so we were not stressed!!”
