Let me just start by saying: HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE. You will not regret it. Period. Sherill and Susie have a carefully thought-out process and it works like a well-oiled machine. You always have a line of communication for any questions (I asked TONS and never felt like a bother); you have sheets to fill out to prepare you for each step of the planning process. There are two official planning meetings, the first one is around 2-3 hours (really depends on how much you have/haven't set in stone) and the second is a 30-minute-ish phone call to narrow down any final details. Sherill guides you through one step at a time while Susie takes notes to ensure your vision comes true. And the most important part: wedding day. Every single detail was taken care of on wedding day; I literally didn’t have to worry about anything but drinking water, smiling, and trying not to slouch (lol) Skye was our coordinator, and she is phenomenal. She was so kind, approachable, and detailed. Florals and DJ were awesome. Dinner was hot and yummy. Cake was delicious and exactly what we wanted. Bartender was so friendly. The packages at the Chapel are an amazing value and the prices are exactly as they say. We chose the exceptional package and had the most magical day. I would redo our wedding here a million times before I even thought about going elsewhere. An all-inclusive venue is the best choice you can make. We are SO glad we chose Wedding Chapel on the Mountain. We will be forever grateful to Sherill, Susie, Skye, and every other professional at the Chapel who had an impact on our wedding!!!

The Barn at Shady Grove was the perfect place for my wedding. Shannon and Ken worked with us greatly on a date and price that worked for us. The amenities they offered greatly influenced our decision. Ken is an AMAZING DJ. He kept all of our guests entertained while we were taking pictures. Shannon was great at helping us coordinate things the day of. All around, they were the absolute best people to be working with for our wedding day! I can't appreciate them enough! The wedding venue was beautiful, they have so many vendors that they work with that have awesome prices as well. 10/10 recommend.
