“Not only is the Cracker Factory a beautiful hidden gem, but every person on the team is amazingly considerate, kind, and helpful. Ashley, Brandon, and Amanda were a joy to work with from the initial tour to all email correspondence, the day of and even when picking up our decor the day after. We stumbled on the venue in a random Google search and decided to check it out while passing through after the holidays, and were blown away by the venue's layout, architecture, interior design, and features. It was everything we wanted and more. They provided us a very detailed list of recommended vendors covering everything from furniture rentals to catering, even hotels and airbnbs in the area. Their bar service packages were expertly tailored and they even had NA beer and wine which quite a few of our guests really appreciated. Brandon and Ashley were like extra coordinators during our tea ceremony, welcome party, and wedding day. They are extremely understanding of cultural ceremonies and were happy to boil water needed for our tea ceremony and set up the necessary seating and tables for it. Brandon was so attentive to us and our whole wedding party and family. We got so many compliments on his friendliness and kindness, as well as how beautiful and unique the venue is. Ashley was so quick to respond and answer any questions we had weeks and days leading up to our wedding. When we were visiting shops and places in the Geneva area a couple days leading up to the wedding, everyone in the community gave them such high praise, telling us we were in great hands, and they couldn't have been more right. Everyone at the cracker factory is professional, kind, communicative, and fun. They helped us have an incredibly fun and stress-free wedding. We couldn't recommend this space and this team enough.”

“Nancy, I can’t even begin to express how grateful we are for how hard you and your team worked to make our day absolutely perfect. It was everything and more. The team and LHF/LOM went above and beyond. Despite some hiccups in communication and me getting frantic, you made sure to stay connected with the team to ensure our day was how we wanted it to be! Alyssa was absolutely phenomenal. Her attentiveness to details ensuring that everything was placed specifically how we wanted it. Her calm presence helped calm my anxiety and made the day truly a joy. She was ready for whatever to make sure we were satisfied!! She made sure to get ahold of everyone between the staff there, my photographer, and florist. She was GREAT! Tracy was a CAKE LIFE SAVER! Our cake stand was too small and she went out of her way to make sure we had something to put our cake on, which turned out to be a personal item from home! Tracy was so kind she even sat and played with our 17 month old while the groom had something to do. The staff at the restaurant that worked endlessly serving our food and cleaning things up - please thank them all for us as their work did not go unnoticed! Lastly, please thank Bryan for his awesome bartending skills and leniency with the bar! I had just missed the open bar closing at 8 (it was 8:05) and my aunt wanted to take a shot in honor of my deceased mom. Bryan without hesitation poured us our drinks. Bryan always had a smile on his face and a great attitude. I’ve never in my life seen an owner out there working alongside his employees for such an event! Great job Bryan! Gareth and I are two very humble people. For some our wedding may have seemed like a small, quickly planned wedding but to us it was everything and more. It all came together perfectly! The fresh greenery, the florals, the candles etc. We truly felt so spoiled by all of the littlest things that everyone did that day. Now we have a place to celebrate our anniversary every year, listening to a live band, watching fireworks, or picking flowers at the farm. We hope the success of the restaurant remains so he has a spot to take me out for our anniversary dinners! I have no doubts about its success. It is such a unique spot that I think will continue to flourish. We thank you all again SO SO much and we can’t wait to see the video footage from our special day! Gareth & Elizabeth Allen”

“Samuels Grande manor experience was amazing. From the huge getting ready rooms that came with complimentary drinks and food. To organizing the mases of people we had. To making sure we were on time for our schedule. To the amazing food. We had a buffet that came with hor dourves, cocktail drinks at the fountain bar, open bar for reception, plated salad, big buffet line, plated desert and a desert table. The food was so good and hot. After our big day we didn't have to pick up our things til a couple days later which was so nice to have the next day to relax. Mark at samuels was a great person to work with and made everything seem so easy. All the staff was great to work with. Highly recommend.”

“From the moment we arrived at Belhurst Castle, we knew we'd made the right choice. The staff was there for every single thing we needed, and our coordinator even cued us for when to walk down the aisle, which took so much stress off our shoulders. The space itself is absolutely stunning and incredibly well kept, with every detail feeling clean and perfect. What impressed us most was how adaptable the team was throughout the day – they rolled with our requests and made everything feel seamless.

“From the moment we started planning, Ventosa Vineyards made the entire process effortless. Jackie answered over 50 emails with genuine care and attention, and her enthusiasm made us feel like our day mattered deeply to her team. When we arrived for our Sunday ceremony, everything was already perfectly set up—we got to walk in and simply enjoy the experience instead of worrying about details. The ceremony space was stunning with breathtaking views and just the right amount of shade, and we loved the space has the Italian charm with Vineyard views. Throughout the reception, Phyliss and the staff kept our guests happy with fantastic food and flowing drinks while working behind the scenes with such thoughtfulness. Ventosa Vineyards is the kind of venue where you can truly relax and celebrate because you know you're in capable, caring hands. If we could do it all over again, we'd do it the same.”
