The day of the wedding was awesome, but leading up to the wedding, getting ahold of them was exhausting. It wasn’t until I badgered them with calls and multiple emails that I would finally get answers. I think if you’re on a budget they’re perfect, but seriously plan your wedding 1.5/2 years out because it takes a life time to get decisions made.

We absolutely loved our wedding day at Canyon Run. The property is gorgeous and set a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything felt so natural and authentic and we felt like we barely even needed to decorate anything ourselves! Amy and Gary were wonderful to work with. Amy makes sure she knows all the details of the wedding and made setting the reception layout and ordering linens seamless. Gary's metalwork on the property is so beautiful and he also went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of during our wedding, helping us make sure our getaway car stayed dry from a thunderstorm without being asked! We also hired the majority of our vendors based on their recommendations and all were great picks! Final shoutout goes to Wedding Cat - he was really a crowd favorite!
