Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions. I would definitely recommend them!

I cannot recommend enough! The entire Grands team was amazing to work with from start to finish! Joe (general manager) gave us an in-depth tour and made sure we knew all of our options. Mel (events director) made sure we stayed on track with timeline and choosing all the details. Larry (entertainment director) made sure our guests had the best time - I don't think the dance floor was ever empty! And we can't forget about Alyssa (day of coordinator) - she made sure the team had us covered in ways we would have never thought. She made the day stress-free, which was a dream!

Our wedding at Big Rock Creek was an absolute dream come true! The venue is gorgeous—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the breathtaking scenery and the peaceful, natural beauty of the property. From the picturesque lake to the charming animals and open spaces, it was like stepping into a fairytale. There was truly something for everyone to enjoy. Guests walked the trails, visited the animals, played yard games, cozied up by the bonfire, and even enjoyed a wagon ride and live music. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was an unforgettable experience for all ages! We chose the platinum package, which included full-weekend lodging for our families. It was the perfect way to bring everyone together and start our new chapter. We even stayed an extra day to soak in the peaceful surroundings and were lucky enough to see deer, swans, eagles—and even a bear! The staff at Big Rock Creek was phenomenal—so friendly, responsive, and accommodating every step of the way. From setup to send-off, everything ran smoothly thanks to their support and care. We couldn’t have asked for a more magical place to say “I do.” Thank you, Big Rock Creek, for making our wedding weekend absolutely unforgettable!

Quincy Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding! We had around 200 guests for our September wedding and it felt simultaneously spacious and cozy. The QH team was very responsive and helped with planning every step of the way. They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. Our food was also outstanding. We knew the food at Crave would be delicious, but we received so many compliments from guests about their meals. They have some of the most reasonable prices on the market and the catering staff were super professional and polished. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Quincy Hall!

We loved all of the photo opportunities (the building has beautiful exposed brick, and Mears park is right around the corner). We especially loved the rooftop and skyline photos. Victoria, the venue manager, was so accommodating and helpful. She helped us organize a micro ceremony in the reception space, helped set up, and even captured and shared pictures and videos of our day with us. She went above and beyond to help make our day special and individualized to us.

The Landmark Center was an absolutely stunning venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was excellent - clear, quick to reply, and incredibly organized. The team, led by Hilari, went above and beyond to ensure our special day was everything we dreamed of. We were even able to do our first look and photos in the bell tower, which was such a unique and memorable experience. There are so many beautiful rooms and spaces to get ready in, take photos in, etc. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Landmark Center to any couple.
