We planned our wedding in less than 2 months! Churon Inn really stepped in and helped us out in ways we really needed. It was a blessing they had availability on our day, they worked with us, worked with our budget and helped us make the day exactly what we wanted. The food was amazing, the chef was so nice and welcoming. The wedding coordinator, which was included in our package, was also very nice, helped with a lot of the decorating and made sure everything was how I wanted on the day of. The bridal suite is gorgeous and spacious. The groom's and groomsmen's space is also very spacious. Considering the circumstance and short notice, overall it was a success. A few small hiccups but overall, I highly recommend this place. It was absolutely beautiful! All our guests loved the venue and we got some amazing pictures!! The only things I did not like was that the stairs had a highlighter yellow color on them, which I understand is for safety but it took away from the overall look. Also, our wedding was in November so it was a little cold, I felt heaters should be complimentary and included but we had to pay for each one and order them in advance, which was hard to decide but overall, really happy with everything and I would highly recommend!

The Outpost was an absolute pleasure to work with as a wedding vendor. Their communication style was very clear, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and attention to detail was superb - the property was super clean and beautifully groomed, providing the perfect setting for our intimate outdoor event. Despite a myriad of potential issues due to acts of God, the team at The Outpost made everyone on their property, from guests, and vendors to the bridal party, feel comfortable and at ease. The Outpost's natural aesthetic is perfect for any combination of modern and rustic events, and I highly recommend them to any couple, family retreat, or business team looking for a stunning venue for their special events.
