From the moment we visited, we knew Serenity Ridge would be our wedding venue! Haley and her team are so sweet and supportive, helpful and communicative every step of the way. They provide not only the venue, but also places for you and your loved ones to stay the whole weekend, the most delicious meals, and so many items of decor and fun that help make the whole weekend so special. No exaggeration, the number one question I was asked at my wedding was "How did you find this place?!? It's so amazing!!" Everyone there is so kind and so invested in making the whole weekend the best it could be. I can't recommend Serenity Ridge more enthusiastically!

Chetola was the ideal location for our dream wedding. Accommodations are second to none. From the moment you enter the grounds, it's clear this resort is a special place, run by capable staff with a passion for hospitality. Meris in particular is wonderful, very knowledgeable and prepared for anything. The condos provide spacious, luxury accommodations for family and friends alike. During our time here we enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony, walks around the lake, and pickleball at the resort's courts. Meris and the team worked closely with all our vendors to ensure everything went perfectly on our wedding day. Even in the face of imminent rain - which thankfully held off - the Chetola staff was prepared with several contingency plans. Every detail was thought through, nothing was missed. You're in great hands here! We've heard nothing but praise in the weeks following our wedding from guests who thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The only problem with Chetola: you may not want to leave!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue. The place is absolutely stunning. It is a beautiful venue space surrounded by mountain views with the perfect backdrop of grandfather mountain as you say “I do”. Inside the lighting and ceilings were a sight in itself. From day one the staff has been amazing. The Venue Manager, Pam, was easily accessible and prepared to answer any question that I had. She was ready to accommodate whatever I needed and even made the time to let me view my table layout in person because I needed the visual to see if our game-plan could work. The venue coordinator, Gracie, is an absolute doll and just as sweet to work with. I wish I could get married all the time, just so I can visit them at the venue!

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.

Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of, and we truly could not have asked for a more incredible venue and team to share it with. We honestly can not say enough about them and their beautiful venue. From the very beginning, everyone went above and beyond to make us feel supported, valued, and cared for. Planning a wedding is stressful on its own, but after the unexpected loss of my mom, we had to postpone our original wedding date. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, the entire team showed us so much compassion, patience, flexibility, and kindness. They treated us like family, and that level of care is something we will never forget. When our wedding day finally arrived, every detail was absolutely perfect. The venue was stunning, everything ran seamlessly, and the staff anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. They made us feel so relaxed and truly allowed us to soak in every moment with our family and friends. What sets this venue apart isn't just the beautiful space—it's the incredible people behind it. Their genuine kindness, professionalism, and dedication made our day even more special than we ever imagined. They didn't just host our wedding; they helped create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for a venue with a team that truly cares about their couples and will go above and beyond every step of the way, look no further. Kris, Kelly, and Denise are your girls! We are endlessly grateful for everything they did for us and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for making one of the most important days of our lives so incredibly beautiful.

As a photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working at Paradise Family Farm for a while now, photographing multiple weddings and hosting mini sessions there, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue. First and foremost, the owners are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. They are incredibly easy to work with, organized, and always go above and beyond to make sure every detail is just right. Over the years, our professional relationship has grown into a friendship, and I honestly look forward to every opportunity I have to work with them. The property itself is absolutely stunning. From the beautifully restored barn to the picturesque outdoor ceremony space and beautiful mountains, every corner of Paradise Family Farm photographs like a dream. The scenery is full of charm, making it the perfect backdrop for weddings, engagement sessions, family photos, and seasonal minis. And then there are the Highland cows! They are such a unique and memorable part of the experience. Guests and clients absolutely love the opportunity to spend time with the smaller Highland cows (like Fast Freddy), and they add so much personality and fun to photo sessions. Paradise Family Farm is hands down one of my favorite vendors to work with. Not only do they provide an incredible experience for their couples and guests, but they also support other local businesses such as myself and many others. Their generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for the people they serve make them truly one of a kind. If you’re looking for a breathtaking wedding venue with amazing owners who will make you feel like family, I cannot recommend Paradise Family Farm enough.

10/10 experience with the Redbird Ridge team and venue! Our wedding was on a Saturday and we also rented out the Cabin and Farmhouse for our bridal party to stay in and well as using the covered pavilion for our rehearsal dinner. Staff: Alisa was so communicative the entire process! Any questions I had, she had a quick and helpful answer. It truly felt like her and her team were there to make our day a dream come true. Even the golf cart drivers were so sweet and just added that extra touch to the day! Rehearsal Dinner: The covered Pavilion was a great space to host our rehearsal dinner. We did have a bigger group, coming in at about 60 people. We were able to seat everyone and have room for buffet tables, though it was a tighter fit. The addition of electricity and a speaker/mic made speeches a breeze. (note: the pavilion is up a tiny hill so any decor/food/coolers will have to be carried up, just fyi.) Wedding Day: The Main Hall was plenty of room for our 100 guests, we even covered the connected Terrace with a rental tent in case of rain or harsh sun. The tables, tablecloths, and chairs fit our clean white aesthetic and all decorations borrowed from the venue were in great shape and super convenient to have on site and ready for us. The open Meadow provided the most gorgeous back drop for our end of May ceremony. The mountains greenery was in full bloom and truly brought the photos to life! It was very nice that the venue provided 2 limo style golf carts to transport our guests from ceremony to reception to parking. (note: it does take a bit of time to transport that many guests so be sure to budget time for transportation for your guests before ceremony/reception start.) The entrance and parking situation seemed to be confusing for the guests and vendors. There are technically 3 entrances, one for the private farmhouse, one for vendors (by request) and then the main entrance for guests and parking. Even though we sent out a map to our guests/vendors, the entrances are within a curve so they are hard to see until you get there. I feel like signage with more contrast could help this issue but overall it worked out. Farmhouse: My bridesmaids and I stayed in the farmhouse the night before the wedding. Alisa and her husband were so welcoming, even letting us sit in their kitchen floor to play with their new litter of kittens. The rental access includes the upstairs portion which was plenty of room for us 6 girls. There were 3 full bathrooms we were able to use. We never felt as we were in someone else's space as the house was partitioned off well between rental and living spaces. Cabin: This was probably my favorite part of the property. This cute little old (but very updated) cabin hosted the groomsmen the night before and then my husband and I the night after. There is a full kitchen so the boys were able to cook dinner. We even had our two dogs stay here with us! 6 guys were able to sleep upstairs where there is also a half bath. The only full bath is downstairs in the master bedroom. The beds were super comfy and the fenced in backyard was so nice to have onsite! Just beware that the cabin is off in a woodsy area so there is wildlife/aka watch your pets!! The conditions were good so the venue did let us host a small fire in the backyard fire pit to roast marshmallows which was the perfect end to the night. (note: the upstairs ceilings are quite low so if you are over 6 foot, you might have to duck a tiny bit.)

I cannot speak highly enough of Big R Orchards, Scott and Eric. The venue itself is gorgeous with so many little details that add to the beauty. In addition, there are several photo opportunities around the property. I do want to put a special emphasis on the amazing level of communication that everyone involved had with me leading up to and on the big day. They were perfect, thorough, and clear in their communication. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the venue is spacious, well worth the money, and provided a beautiful base for us to add our personal touch to. They ensured everything was set up to my liking and checked on me numerous times throughout the day, even driving us around the property for many different photo areas. This venue was everything we could have wanted and so much more!

Something Blue Mountain Venue was our first and only choice for our wedding venue. The views are breathtaking and it is like nature herself decided to give the perfect frame for every photo. The owner Lisa is wonderful and really makes it incredibly easy to show up and enjoy! She gave the best recommendations for vendors. Recent renovations even made a fully enclosed bar area perfect for sipping and staying warm in the winter. We had 35 people and it was the perfect size even though 35 was the maximum number of guests. Overall, not a chance in a million years I would prefer any other venue. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend. Thanks Lisa!

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

My daughter and I came to this venue after visiting many but after talking to Ashley we knew we had found the perfect place. She was easy to talk to, was willing to make my daughter's wedding dreams come to life, and she was just as excited for the day as my daughter was (It is clear she loves what she does). Instantly felt like she was a friend of the family. The backdrop to this venue is stunning with rolling, well-manicured fields and a pond enhanced by sunrises and sunsets. Like a romance novel come to life. The barn is the perfect place to join families together, create memories, and find peace in a hectic day. Ashley gives her brides the opportunity to plan and practice with special "venue practice" days. So helpful and she has so many decor items for brides to use from their warehouse (which is included). But she allows brides to bring whatever is in their vision. The bridal suite is dreamy, roomy, and you can tell Ashley knows what the bride will need. The furniture and chandeliers are so elegant for pictures. The groom's suite was the perfect masculine vibe with a pool table and access to gaming fun... again so much attention to details. Even the restrooms are on trend and very clean. Amazing venue, the sweetest staff that work hard from beginning to end, and Ashley was there to calm the nerves while attending to anything we needed. She is the absolute BEST! God has given her a gift and it is seen in her mission at Emerald Hill. You should check this place out for your wedding or special event... it truly is a sight to experience. The price is affordable and fair for all that is included. I am so glad my daughter found and chose this place for her special day. Whether your wedding is inside or outside, The Emerald Hill venue, the staff and the owner, Ashley will not disappoint.

Rina and Shan are absolutely amazing! They worked with us every step of the way and went above and beyond for our wedding. They were so helpful and did everything in their power to make our day perfect! The garden and the house are absolutely beautiful and you can see all the love and effort that went into making the property perfect! They let my now husband run internet to the back yard so we could live stream our ceremony to my grandparents who were not able to make it. They also let our sweet dog participate and be a part of the fun! They truly are fairy god parents and I can not thank them or recommend them enough! Thank you so so much Rina and Shan!

Henderson Acres is truly beyond anything we could’ve hoped for with our wedding venue. First their actual outdoor space and house is so beautiful it is straight out of a magazine- picture perfect. The decor and stone within the house is such an elevated look we were in awe of. They are constantly adding things to the space and not to add things you need to pay for but to offer plenty of things for you to enjoy to use during your day. For instance there was several items of decor we used from them that we decided day of to use and the flexibility of that is incredible. They have a reasonably priced furniture package that their venue staff helps set up on wedding day and they have a retractable tent in case of inclement weather. Next the staff is absolutely incredible. Seriously beyond kind, helpful, responsive, and authentically caring. Planning the wedding was a dream with them, and the staff the day of was beyond kind and helpful ensuring the day ran smoothly. An example, we had one guest who was in a wheelchair and had to have an uber come to the venue for pick up/drop off - the staff without being asked drove to the bottom of the driveway waited for the uber and personally escorted them to the top. That kind of hospitality was noticed by our guests who raved about their kindness. I could write about so many more amazing things this venue has to offer. We received countless (truly countless) compliments on this venue and the venue staff - from the beauty of the space to the kindness and authentic care everyone felt. Our photographer captured the day perfectly with such beauty and somehow you’re still amazed seeing the space in person. I think there is something special about a family owned business and this venue is a prime example of it! Without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding planning was booking Henderson Acres after so much searching - couldn’t recommend more!!!!
