“My husband and I had a perfect wedding weekend at Off map! The staff was great at communicating through the whole process and always offering help when needed. It was awesome to have around 70 of our friends and family stay on campus with us the whole weekend. The tents and cabins were beautiful. Many tents included bathrooms although the community bathrooms were very clean and there were no issues. I had multiple guests who weren’t campers staying in safari tents who said they loved it and want to go back. I also had guests tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to! The lodge was extremely beautiful and the perfect place for the girls to get ready in. My husband also loved getting ready in the pull barn. We had our ceremony in the forest which was breathtaking followed by cocktail hour on the lawn and dinner/dancing under the tents. We ended our night with silent disco back in the woods! This structure is extremely flexible and off map was willing to accommodate the many areas of the property you can have your ceremony or reception at. I honestly cannot recommend Off Map Glamping enough, especially if you are looking for a unique wedding weekend experience.”
