The Inn at Leola Village was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue. From the very first interaction, the staff were quick to respond, reassuring, and incredibly patient as we worked through all the details.

My husband and I had our Christmas-themed wedding at the Eden on December 10th of 2021, and I can’t sing the praises of the wedding coordinators, concierges, catering and janitorial staff enough. From start to finish we felt genuinely cared for by everyone in the resort...and I know how often they host weddings, but each and every person on the Eden team accommodated us in such a joyful way; as if we were the only wedding in the building. And it felt like they were sincerely happy for us. Which made the day feel really, really special. Madeline and Felicia, our wedding/day-of coordinators, attended to every last detail of the day, making sure that absolutely nothing was missed. They were present, intentional, flexible, and at times even borderline protective of me and my family. And that’s anything a bride could ever ask for. I couldn’t be more grateful. As far as the planning process goes: as a project manager, I very much appreciated the explicit, direct nature of their policies and procedures. After offering me several tours of the venue (MOB was from out of town and MOG wanted to see it on separate occasions) and answering all of my many many questions via phone and email, we had several formal meetings to comb through all the details and make sure we were on the same page. Maddie was able to help me delegate and manage my expectations, especially when it came to who was responsible for what, and even then bent over backwards to help me and my bridal party with day-of tasks. Thanks again to everyone on The Eden Resort & Suites staff. You were such a crucial part of our big day and we appreciate your hard work!

Where to begin!? The Hertzog family puts their heart and soul into this venue, you and your special day. Kristen, Scott and Makayla were delightful to work with, understanding our unique needs and helping us plan for a safe and special day during a pandemic. They are thorough, kind and truly put the needs and desires of the couple above all. To add, we rented out the entire B&B and our guests truly loved their experience at both the wedding and as a B&B guest. While barn weddings aren't for everyone, I highly encourage DIYers and those looking for a special place with character to partner with the Hertzog family and let them help make your dreams a reality!

Milton was ready with blankets for the golf cart and always checking in with us in case we needed anything, and Nancy was always delightful and on top of everything that needed to be done. Our best man wasn’t able to attend due to deployment and the co-best man coordinated a video to play during the speech, the process day of was seamless and we are thankful he was able to say some words on our wedding day! We had such a great time working with Nancy and the entire Springfield Country Club team - the entire wedding was perfect!

We are in AWE of RiverCrest!! I don't even know where to start with a review for them because they truly were perfect and above and beyond what we could have imagined. From the beginning, Michelle L. helped us on our wedding planning journey. She is extremely kind, honest, and talented. She helped us select all the major items (food, setup, etc) and all the way down to the little details (table linens, signs, etc). She always gave us her honest opinion and helped us make informed decisions for our wedding. It can be hard to navigate planning a wedding, but Michelle L. made is so seamless and truly effortless. We were able to do a food tasting and bring our parents. We were all blown away by not only the food, but the service. Everyone at RiverCrest is friendly and kind and that followed through on the wedding day as well. Leading up to the big day, Michelle L. was constantly in contact with us, making sure we had everything we needed. She does so much behind the scenes work and makes it look so effortless. On the wedding day, we were BLOWN AWAY with how organized and helpful the staff at RCGC was. They took care of us from the second we arrived to the second we left. From bringing us anything we needed in the bridal suite to setting everything up exactly as we wanted, they truly were a dream team. They were so seamless and organized when it came to the schedule throughout the day. We had no questions because they truly were ahead of everything. We worked with Angela later in the day and she was phenomenal!! She brought us food from our cocktail hour because we couldn't go and truly made sure we were taken care of the entire night. At the end of the night, the RCGC team had packed everything up for us and had it ready to load into our cars. They literally thought of EVERYTHING! Our guests still cannot stop talking about beautiful the day was and that is largely due to the RiverCrest staff. What an amazing team. We really can't thank them enough! If you are looking for a wedding venue with an incredible team, please book RiverCrest!!
