Jamey and his family were AMAZING to work with! They truly went above and beyond! From the first meeting I knew our wedding would be just as I had hoped. Jamey communicated very well, always stayed in touch, never seemed bothered by my million questions, redid the ground where our tent was going to be and showed us progress pictures. Jamey and his family are very detailed oriented and thought of things I didn’t such as walkway lights and smoke area if one was needed. Jamey was at our tent site on the property day of our wedding making sure we were okay, seeing if we needed anything, told us he felt we would need more heaters and got them in. His wife even helped my photographer to get the best pictures! We rented both cabins on the property for our wedding weekend and I highly recommend doing so! One we used for the guys to get ready and it worked out perfect! Both cabins are very beautiful and we stayed in both haha :) The property itself is GORGEOUS! We had the perfect background for a fall wedding and it truly was amazing! I can’t say enough how much we appreciate Jamey and his lovely family for making our wedding a dream come true. They really are the best. The property and cabins are just so beautiful and we can’t wait to stay there again!

I hear a lot of my brides who elope wanting a beautiful space to say I do, but being limited to extreme venue prices when they only have a hand full of people. This is the perfect spot for those brides, they get a space where they can still make it feel special, that is tailored to a intimate amount of guests, without having to pay out a crap ton of money. I have seen bridal showers and rehearsal dinners here as well, great space for your cozy personal bride.

The venue is amazing. I loved every moment. The only thing that was an issue was that our main contact retired before we got married. She was very communicative and amazing, then we couldn't get email responses and overall communication was lacking after she left. The wedding ended up going so smoothly and it was all fine but it did cause stress beforehand. I LOVE the venue and would recommend it, but hope they will work on the communication.
