The owners have done a phenomenal job renovating this church. It’s the perfect space for hosting a variety of events. I created a custom floral mural in one of the rooms, and Natalie and Michael were wonderful to work for. They are attentive, considerate, honest, have an eye for design, and truly care about the space they curated for future attendees.

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!

First and foremost, the owners are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet.

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.)

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.
