The venue itself is so pretty, with beautiful gardens and architecture that made a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. It was definitely worth the money to host our reception there.

Sweetwater Branch Inn (SWB) went above and BEYOND to make my wedding weekend everything I had dreamed of—and more. If I could give SWB a million out of five stars, I absolutely would! My wedding was on March 16, 2025, and originally planned as an outdoor event. The team at SWB was incredibly flexible, allowing me to get creative with the venue and hold the ceremony and dinner in a different location than they usually do which was impressive in itself! Just days before the wedding, a storm was predicted to hit. At the last minute, we ordered a tent for the gardens (something that had never been done before), completely reworked the layout we had spent over a year planning, and somehow, everything turned out perfectly! Adrienne, the event coordinator, and Angel, the food and beverage coordinator, were nothing short of incredible. Adrienne went above and beyond, dedicating extra time and effort to ensure my vision came to life, even with the last-minute changes. Every single member of the staff was truly wonderful. My close family stayed at the Inn and didn’t want to leave! Guests traveled from Canada, New York City, and even Sydney, Australia—and every single one of them raved about their stay. From the friendly and helpful staff to the elegant decor and the delicious food (both at breakfast and the wedding!), they were beyond impressed. I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Branch Inn and the amazing event venue they provide. They do everything with heart, which is so rare these days—and that, above all, meant the world to me and my guests.

As proprietors of Maria's Arrangements, a budding flower shop dedicated to crafting beauty and elegance through floral design, we had the immense pleasure of attending the grand opening of Pegasus Manor, a truly remarkable wedding venue that we wholeheartedly recommend to all the beautiful couples planning their engagement celebrations. From the moment we stepped foot into Pegasus Manor, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of magic and enchantment. The grand opening was an experience beyond compare, with an impressive array of vendors showcasing their talents and services. What truly set this event apart, however, was the warmth and hospitality extended by Ms. Beth, the consummate hostess of Pegasus Manor. Ms. Beth's genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel not only welcomed but truly valued as guests. Throughout the event, she ensured that everyone in attendance was enjoying themselves and had everything they needed to make the most of the festivities. Her dedication to creating a memorable experience for all was truly commendable. One highlight of the grand opening was the interactive giveaway for future couples, which added an extra layer of excitement and joy to the event. It was heartwarming to see the happiness on the faces of the participants, further emphasizing the sense of community fostered by Pegasus Manor. As newcomers to the floral design scene, we were particularly grateful for Ms. Beth's support and guidance. She took the time to offer valuable insights and advice based on her extensive experience, helping us navigate the early stages of our business with confidence and grace. In conclusion, Pegasus Manor is not just a venue; it's a place where dreams are brought to life. With its breathtaking beauty, exceptional hospitality, and unwavering support for small businesses like ours, it's the perfect choice for couples seeking a truly magical setting for their special day.

There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am for everyone at Club Continental. The Club Continental was an incredible venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first inquired, Carla made us feel so welcomed. And no matter how many ridiculous questions I had, their communication was fast and thorough, addressing all of our questions and providing helpful suggestions. On the day of, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly - and me, being a dummy, forgot all about a Notary. but The Club went out of their way to find us a last-minute notary when we needed one, and assisted with the setup. The evening manager, overseeing the wedding was so attentive, helpful and accommodating the entire time. I can not express how thankful we were to have him there. Everything ran smoothly because of him. The venue itself is simply magic. So incredibly beautiful, with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was like stepping into a different world when you got on those grounds. And the stunning natural settings were just breathtaking. We were blown away by the amazing and friendly staff, not only the day of the wedding, but the entire week we stayed there. The breakfast staff was incredible, I wanted to become part of her family!! And let’s not forget the FOOD!! Salivating just thinking about it. They offered a couple food tasting events which allowed you to taste some of their different options before you decide on a menu. This was extremely helpful because what I thought I’d choose vs what I actually chose were complete opposites, and that’s because I was able to get those samples in. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location to celebrate our special day and I can’t wait to go back and spend a few days there.
