The staff at Waldenwoods Resort & Conference Center responded to every question, comment, and request very promptly, at least within 48 hours. I preferred email over phone calls so I could keep track of our conversations, and they fully delivered for our wedding day. They not only answered questions and requests, but I also had full confidence they would execute everything flawlessly. The Sunshine Cove was drop-dead gorgeous and an absolute steal of a price. It could not have been more magical for my husband and I. It was everything in my Pinterest board and more! You could not have gotten a more perfect outdoor, lake wedding style for the price they offer. We added drapery that enhanced the magical experience but it could also do without it. The lake was stunning and I can't even believe how beautiful the sunset looked across the lake. The nearby photo backdrops were also stunning! whichever direction you faced, the backdrop was amazing. We were in one location but the photos felt like we were in 10 different locations which brought different experiences in the photos. The staff at Waldenwoods was truly helpful on the day of our wedding. They made us our own plates and got us drinks so we didn't have to go through the buffet. Before the ceremony, they hid me away as the bride so no one would see me before the walk down the aisle. They got me a chair and kept me hydrated in the reception area. They were so thoughtful and really cared about my experience as a bride! I highly recommend Waldenwoods Resort for a stress-free wedding day. They think of everything and will do what they can to help you or give you confidence for your special day. S/O Jaiden for our gorgeous photos - insta: japhotographytn
