This was literally a dream! Firstly, the owner truly was so kind to us from the beginning and super responsive! They truly went above and beyond and I noticed extra decor at the wedding including on our sweetheart table (I didn’t know a sweet heart table could make me feel like a literal queen), which was really sweet and perfect! Grayson was so accommodating and the last minute added roses for my memorial chair was really special! My bridesmaids also loved Jenny and Maddy was phenomenal! Most importantly EVERYONE loved Grace (our event planner)! Even with the rain she made me feel calm and that everything was going to be perfect and it was! She fit right in with our crew and by the end of it felt like part of the family. She ensured everything went smoothly and it did, even with all the weddings she had that weekend. Everything was super organized! My guests LOVED the food, I mean they were truly raving about all the appetizers, the main course etc, everything was delicious-Mike and I didn’t eat until we got back to our suite because we were having a blast out on the dance floor! Premium Entertainment was a great recommendation, we loved them! Everyone texted us and said how much fun they had, that it was the best food they had and that it was the most fun they had at a wedding, ever! I had one guest tell me it was the safest wedding they ever went too, assuming because we had transportation as well-we went with Palmeri Transportation. The bartenders knew all of the guests drinks every time they went up there. Also, someone customized me a raspberry lemonade vodka, it was the most delicious drink I’ve ever had! The cooks, wait staff etc., truly they have the best all around! The bridal studio made us all look fabulous. I would recommend them to everybody! Lastly, Happy hour got us in for our rehearsal late lunch/early dinner last minute so thank you to Grace for recommending them! They were also amazing! We appreciate them more than you know! Our photographer Chris Gocklin Photography got some really great photos of us even in the rain! Below is just a sneak peak of them that he gave us right away! From our little family, Hanna, Mike and Brooks Ridgecrest 10/11/25

Our wedding was originally planned for May of 2020. Pre-COVID, Ashley was very communicative and answer every question timely making us elated with our venue of choice. Once COVID hit we had to adjust our wedding timeline to July. Ashley went above and beyond to help us make all accommodation changes. She kept us informed of protocol and helped us ensure we could still have our wedding while following all safety measures needed for COVID. While our wedding had many bumps, none of them were because of the Anthracite Center and if we needed a redo, we would chose them over and over again.

Our wedding weekend at Magnolia was nothing short of magical. The serene setting was the perfect backdrop for our Fall wedding, and everything we dreamed of and more. The peaceful grounds and sound of the stream was such a major part of calming our wedding jitters and keeping us at ease. The cabins provided such a fun way to have our nearest and dearest spend more time with us to make for a more intimate event lasting more than one night. The staff was the most hospitable and helpful when needed, while also giving us enough privacy and space. Cheyenne our event manager went above and beyond throughout the entire process of planning. From the moment we took the tour with her, she assured us we'd be in the best hands for our special day. She provided so much support, advice, information, even friendship during the entire process. She is so passionate about her couples and makes you feel so special and taken care of. Our friends and family raved about the beauty of the venue and can't wait to have a place to come back and stay. Not having a food tasting made us nervous at first but we were extremely pleased and impressed with all of the food, and chef and staff were so friendly and helpful through the planning process and at the event. Cheyenne connected us with Chef Danial and Bartender Tom when we had questions, and everyone was so approachable, friendly, and helpful. It was such a pleasure making new connections with them and we are so excited to have a new home away from home to come stay for anniversaries and getaways.
