From the moment we booked The Tack Shed on Bridal Bay, their communication and responsiveness were excellent. They were always quick to answer our questions and address any concerns we had leading up to the wedding. On the day of the event, their team was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. There was a chance of rain, and they proactively reached out the day before to see if we wanted to move the ceremony up, which we really appreciated. They also did a wonderful job with some simple yet elegant decorations that really tied the whole space together. Overall, the quality of their work and the value they provided was excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue - they truly did whatever it took to make our day unforgettable.

Storm King Mountain Ranch was a beautiful and spacious venue that provided an open and commodious space for our wedding day. While their communication was a bit prolonged and delayed at times, their presence on the day was extremely accommodating. The set-up was perfect, and the bridal suite was an excellent space for getting ready - plenty of room, lots of outlets, and a private bathroom. Overall, we were very pleased with the value and quality of Storm King Mountain Ranch, and would highly recommend it to future couples looking for an open and airy wedding venue.

My husband and I got married at The Black Diamond Lodge last October and I can't speak highly enough about this venue! The aspen grove was everything we had dreamed of for our ceremony site, and the lodge itself felt cozy and intimate for our reception. We also loved that we could stay at the lodge for the whole weekend with our wedding party and close family. The Black Diamond Lodge team is also amazing to work with - especially Amber - and they turned our romantic, fall wedding vision into a reality better than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful to have found the perfect venue for our day. Highly recommend The Black Diamond Lodge!
