Awarded Best of Zola
Communication with Danna was incredible from start to finish. She always responded quickly, answered all of our questions, and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning—the wooded area with the lake backdrop was the perfect setting for our ceremony. One of the things that made our experience extra special was having our wedding party stay in the cabins for the entire weekend. Everything was set up and ready for our guests, and we were able to use all the kitchenware and amenities, which made hosting so easy. Having access to the entire property truly set Klondike Cabins apart, especially since so many venues don’t offer that—let alone at such a great price. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate at Klondike Cabins. The beauty of the grounds combined with the time spent surrounded by our closest friends and family made it all unforgettable.

Wedding planning was not as stressful because I had so much help from venue host and coordinators, even tho I live in another state. The venue was so beautiful during the summer time! Everything was green and blossoming, a bit on the warmer side, but the openness of the reception area allowed breeze to cool us off. The bridal suite was such a dream!! There was enough space for the hair & makeup artists, bridesmaids, mothers, and grandmothers to get ready. The grooms quarters were also spacious and allowed for bonding time before the ceremony. Parking services were great, the guests had a smooth time with it and finding the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception sites. Cannot recommend this venue enough, everything was wonderful and magical!!

As a wedding planner, my team experiences a lot of venues and their teams. We really get to know them on a level our clients rarely do. And we've seen our share of situations from a venue standpoint that have been less than great. So when we say that Sky Retreat is amazing, we truly mean it. Obviously - the venue is beautiful. It's clean. It's modern yet moldable to any design. It's a stunning view. But the team is also really responsive, actively present on your wedding day, and very helpful to the whole team! Highly Recommend, and can't wait for our next wedding there! Attached are some photos from our most recent wedding there (10.18.2025, Hannah & Edgar) - photographed by Hailey Hughes Photography.

This was our third annual Family Day Camp at Apple Ridge Farm, and it was another wonderful experience! Our families look forward to this event all year, and the farm continues to deliver. From swimming and hiking to the low ropes course and the aquatic program, there were activities for everyone to enjoy. The Apple Ridge team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the day, helping to make the event a true success.
