Rosa Lee Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding. Their communication was very quick, whether by email or text, which was so helpful during the planning process. Everything was clean and organized, and the price was very reasonable compared to other places, especially considering all that they offer. They made everything so smooth for us on the day, and we even got a complimentary breakfast basket! It was so convenient that they had a house on the property where we could have both our ceremony and reception. The house sleeps 12, so our bridal party was able to stay with us and get ready there as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.

Spinning Leaf by Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the start, they were so open to all of our questions and they adapted to all of our concerns and our ideas. The space is absolutely beautiful, so romantic and magical - we were really afraid of not having electricity in our venue since that happened at a wedding we attended, but Spinning Leaf was so helpful in addressing our power needs. The outdoor space for the ceremony looks like it's straight out of a storybook; it's full of charming details. They were able to answer every question we had and kept an open mind with our different traditions, working to accommodate our wishes. The staff at Spinning Leaf was super sweet and very helpful throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day.

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.
