Woodbury Falls is the wedding venue for YOU! I had such an amazing experience during the planning and preparing stages leading up to my wedding. This venue space is complimentary of so many needs that arose throughout our day/evening. Miranda Fox was exceptional to work with! She has a vision for each bride/couple and ensured I was supported for my big day. It was very reassuring to know that everything would be taken care of, prepared, and proactively handled during decorating, DJ set up, caterer accommodations, etc. There are so many decisions to be made, but Miranda made it so simple to add things I wanted for my day without any hassle or hesitation. Woodbury Falls is such a beautiful place, tucked away in a peaceful area of the county. It was easily accessible to the interstate for our traveling family, and there are local hoteling accommodations available. Highly recommend this venue for weddings or any other memorable event you may be planning!
