As a wedding planner, my team experiences a lot of venues and their teams. We really get to know them on a level our clients rarely do. And we've seen our share of situations from a venue standpoint that have been less than great. So when we say that Sky Retreat is amazing, we truly mean it. Obviously - the venue is beautiful. It's clean. It's modern yet moldable to any design. It's a stunning view. But the team is also really responsive, actively present on your wedding day, and very helpful to the whole team! Highly Recommend, and can't wait for our next wedding there! Attached are some photos from our most recent wedding there (10.18.2025, Hannah & Edgar) - photographed by Hailey Hughes Photography.

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

Original wood beams and early American antiques welcome guests to experience life a little simpler. Surrounded by 60-acres of vineyards, a 2-acre fishing pond, and a walking trail winding alongside the Grassy Creek, days can be filled with discovering what the Appalachian nature has to offer, or cozied up with a book or game of chess next to a roaring fire in the original 1920’s hearths.

Communication with Danna was incredible from start to finish. She always responded quickly, answered all of our questions, and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning—the wooded area with the lake backdrop was the perfect setting for our ceremony. One of the things that made our experience extra special was having our wedding party stay in the cabins for the entire weekend. Everything was set up and ready for our guests, and we were able to use all the kitchenware and amenities, which made hosting so easy. Having access to the entire property truly set Klondike Cabins apart, especially since so many venues don’t offer that—let alone at such a great price. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate at Klondike Cabins. The beauty of the grounds combined with the time spent surrounded by our closest friends and family made it all unforgettable.
