Our experience with 9th Sky Reserve was pretty much phenomenal from start to finish. We only looked at two venues and they were the first we visited. Ms Angelica was super responsi...

ve and both she and Todd were able to answer any questions we had, as well as just being extremely personable and friendly. The walkway from the reception to the ceremony dock is newly paved and the dock itself is brand new as well. We decided to take them up on their inclusive package which included bar staff, a DJ, décor, and a day-of coordinator. Marissa - the coordinator - was soooo helpful! She truly went above and beyond to ensure everything about our day was truly special. She even gave us a few ideas that we hadn't thought of! All of the on-site vendors were provided with mics to speak with each other so that everyone stayed on the same page all day and it really showed. Fily - the DJ - was also amazing at his job. From our ceremony to our reception, he truly knew how to read the room and keep everyone dancing all night. And I also wanted to give a quick shoutout to the bar staff who Overall everything was amazing. It really was one of the most amazing days of our lives, the weather was beautiful, the scenery was gorgeous, and the decorations Angelica put together for us absolutely blew us out of the water. I couldn’t have asked or expected more from the 9th Sky team and I'm so grateful for everything! Thank you all for making our wedding everything we wanted it to be. <3

If I could give a 0 star review I would! Definitely does not look like how it is advertised when you go in person. The wife was very rude & judgemental. She also did not care to ...

give us any kind of tour of the venue at all. We had to ask if we could walk the two trails after going to the pond we decided to not do the second trail. ~ She also kept changing price amounts on us (four times) ~ The painting of the building is not brand new like in the pictures very very faded and splotches of parts that really need to be the painted. The flooring in the room upstairs needs to be replaced it is really messed up. She commented I guess I can show you the bridal suite. Kept insisting to use her decor. I asked her about deal we saw only and she said she has no deal like that. So I pulled it up in my phone and she said that is not hers. It is the venues name, pictures, and information all over it. She only wanted to give us the venue for her most expensive package and when we told her that was not happening everything changed with her attitude.

Hi Kimberly, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your visit didn’t meet your expectat...

We’re transparent with pricing from the beginning to help couples determine if we’re the right fit before committing further. Regarding the condition of the property: our venue is professionally maintained and regularly updated. While not every element is brand new, the photos on our official site accurately reflect the current state of the space. We take pride in offering a charming and well-kept setting that many couples love.

We attended our daughter's wedding here this last Saturday. The entire experience was fantastic. The venue is nestled in a forested area with a nice deck/dock extending out onto a ...

nice, picturesque pond. Angelica and Todd, the owners, are friendly and extremely helpful. As we were setting up for the reception, they both offered wonderful and relevant suggestions. The main building has a kitchen, a bar, and rooms for the bride and her attendants as well as for the groom and his ushers. The atmoshere was both festive and relaxing at the same time. Words really cannot describe the beauty of the venue. If you are looking for a wedding venue, you can't go wrong here

9th Sky Reserve was PERFECT. Our experience with them was so phenomenal and I will NEVER get over how much I enjoyed my wedding. 1) super reasonably priced. Easily the most afford...

able place we looked at, WITHOUT sacrificing any quality of service. 2) easy to work with. Angelica was so easy to get in touch with when I had questions or requests. She was so professional and enthusiastic through the whole process. 3) INCREDIBLE staff. Marissa, the day of coordinator, was a godsend. She made my day so easy and stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about a single detail day of - Marissa had it covered! She did not let anyone bother me about petty details, and if anything went wrong, I have no idea, because I didn’t handle it! The bar staff and DJ were also super great. 4) absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking for an outdoor venue that is both romantic and fun, you’ve found it. I literally cannot recommend 9th Sky Reserve enough. More than one guest told me afterwards that it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding, and a BIG part of that was the incredible owners and staff at 9th Sky Reserve.

This venue is pretty and has lots to offer. However, I just attended a wedding here this year and I've got to say, IT WAS SOOOOOO HOT!!! They have very poor central air, and a wind...

ow unit in the downstairs area. The Bridal suite was kind of a joke. It was tiny and WAYYYY to HOT to get ready in there (upstairs). The poor bride was drenched in sweat way before she ever had to put on her gown. I would HIGHLY suggest to the venue owner, please invest in ceramic window coverings to reduce the heat let in by all the windows upstairs. Or maybe even go as far as replacing the windows all together as I'm sure their seals are no good anymore. I'd also suggest you replace the AC vent in the upstairs bedroom as well as the air flow was going towards the wall/window and not the center of the room. I noticed the Groom's Suite felt amazing! It felt like an ice box compared to the Bridal Suite. In my opinion, these suites really should be switched. You could install mirror window clings to insure no guests are able to view the bride from outside.

Response from 9th Sky Reserve on 08/12/2020

We appreciate your feedback, and are addressing the AC issue upstairs in the bridal suite ...

so we can accommodate summer weddings. Your assessment of the window shades are already in the works, these windows are low-E argon packed, as part of our complete build-out over the past three years. As well, we are doubling the size of the bridal suite to make it compatible with the groom's suite! Thanks again for your honest opinion, we do appreciate your feedback to make 9th Sky the most amazing experience.
