Enchanted Forest Event Venue 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,625

You’re not looking for overly formal or a wedding experience like everyone else’s. You want a space that feels warm, inviting, and comfortable where guests can relax and celebrate from dinner through the last song. You’re drawn to laid-back elegance, personalized touches, and a classy-casual atmosphere that feels welcoming, not stuffy. You want flavorful, comforting food that gives guests choices while keeping the mood fun, social, and easygoing. You appreciate a local, family-run business and a team that is approachable, organized, and easy to work with — people who guide you through the planning, communicate clearly, and make everything feel less overwhelming. You want your wedding to feel like a joyful gathering, not a production. Great food, genuine hospitality, transparent pricing, and a comfortable atmosphere matter more to you than rigid traditions. You want your guests to leave feeling cared for and ready to rave about what an incredible time they had.

As a newly engaged bride-to-be, deciding who to work with is an overwhelming experience. There are SO many options and wedding expos.. phew! The Enchanted Forest's all inclusive package helped take a huge amount of stress off of my shoulders. Knowing that the venue, catering, linens, tables, cutlery, servers, bartenders and chairs were ALL taken care of... it was the peace of mind I needed to be able to really enjoy being engaged and enjoying the time leading up to the big day. I recommend this venue to anyone that wants to know that you'll have everything you need, without coordinating with 10 different vendors to make it happen. Thank you Steve & Laurie!

Rustic Manor 1848 was an absolutely beautiful venue and overall an amazing place to have our wedding. The space is stunning, full of charm and character, and it created the perfect backdrop for our entire day. The staff was generally wonderful. They were so kind, helpful, and professional. They really helped everything run smoothly. There was a small hiccup during cocktail hour where the bar staff seemed a bit unsure when guests started asking about the drink menu. It wasn’t a huge issue and things got sorted out! Everything else about the experience was incredible.

My husband and I got married at Western Lakes Golf Club 5/4/24 and it was incredible. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly. The only downside for why I took off a star was because of the day of coordinator provided with the venue. She was great leading up to the day of the wedding but on the wedding day I saw her twice and then never saw her again. She never introduced herself to my husband, never made sure we were lining up for the ceremony or anything. Never checked in on us. I’m the one that noticed we should be getting lined up which should have been the coordinator doing it. But overall, it was a great experience.
