“The communication with the owners Carrie and Cory Messick who run Sky Lake Events is absolutely fantastic. You are never waiting for a response or answer you have it right away. Sky Lake Events is absolutely breathtaking. The amount of money that you pay for Sky Lake Events is an appropriate value for everything they have to offer. A place like this would cost far more than what the owners charge. They go out of their way to make sure everything is set up and to your liking and even go as far as putting any special touches that you have mentioned / want on your special day. Sky Lake Events is definitely far more than a five star rating. The owners have put their time and hearts into this event center, and they take pride and joy in every single wedding! I never once felt overwhelmed or unsure of my decision I made when booking and choosing to do my special day here! I would recommend Sky Lake Events to anyone”

“I had the most incredible experience at Early Dawn Ranch! I was there as the photographer for a styled wedding shoot, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better stay. Ian and Kristen were the most amazing hosts and made the entire experience feel so welcoming and special! One of my favorite memories was getting to go four-wheeling through the mountains and driving right through the river! Between the breathtaking scenery, peaceful surroundings, and all the fun adventures, it was truly the perfect little escape. It also has the most beautiful scenery and amenities perfect for an intimate wedding. I can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed while also having so much fun!
