She took genuine pride in her work and clearly loves helping couples create their dream wedding. Despite the common belief that things will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day, we can firmly say that not one single thing went wrong with ours. I attribute this flawless execution entirely to the professionalism and attention to detail of the Smoke Rise Village Inn team.

I simply cannot say enough in praise of il Tulipano. In July 2024 we held our wedding, and we could not have asked or prayed for better than what we were given! We first met Chef Mario in early 2023 while we were researching venues and cost. We toured approximately 8 -10 venues, and we corresponded with several venues online. But our hearts and minds could not stop thinking about il Tulipano. We were in love with Chef Mario’s passion for what he does and infectious personality. He truly is the best! Not only was the venue a great price, but we felt honored to be a part of the il Tulipano family! We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding! The setting was stunning, the food incredibly delicious, and the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect! Our guest was blown away at how beautiful everything was. Chef Mario and his staff never hesitated to provide guidance, help and support before and during our wedding. Appetizers were so good that they were mistaken for the dinner but were surpassed by the actual main entree. The dessert room was the showstopper! Staff that treated us like family–Joellen, Mike, and Sunday were unbeatable! --and the warmth of Chef Mario made all the difference in an event that shone from the top management down to everyone involved in making our day so special, memorable, and beautiful. If you’re looking for a dream venue that delivers on ambience, service, cost and a personal touch, look no further! il Tulipano is bound to impress you and your guests. The most remarkable moment in life is when you meet the person who makes you complete. Thank you, Chef Mario, and il Tulipano!!
