This location is truly beautiful! The beautiful mountains in the background and the picturesque gazebo or chapel make the ideal location to get married. We purchased a package that covered all that we needed— photographer, cake, reception food,... guest book, serving set, garter, flowers, and hair/makeup— and it was a godsend! I didn’t have to worry about contacting multiple venues, finding if chairs/tables were provided, ordering them if they weren’t, finding caterers, booking a photographer, etc. They truly had everything I needed/wanted within their package. You can pick a package that fits your needs and your price range. Ms. Fleshia and Ms. Jeannie were both extremely helpful and patient with all my questions.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of two “hiccups” in the overall execution on the wedding day. First, the wedding cake was not the specific color I had wanted. (Requested dust blue, got more of an azure and sapphire.) The cake looked like the style I had wanted, but it just wasn’t 100% what I had envisioned. *It still tasted really good even with the wrong color.* Secondly, I (we) had some confusion with hair and makeup. My matron of honor and I both got hair and makeup done. My MOH is fair skinned and the makeup that was used looked orange on her skin tone. Her hair also wasn’t what was asked for. I felt like my makeup was a bit orange as well and my eyeshadow was brown hues instead of mauve. My hair was initially done differently than asked for in front. After seeing it in the mirror, I spoke up about having a different desire for the front. She quickly changed it to what I had wanted, so she was very accommodating. (I’m not sure if it was just a communication problem that caused the issues, but for whatever reason something just missed the target a little for me.) Everyone said I looked beautiful, but you are your own worst critic so I noticed the differences in what I had imagined.
If someone were to ask me if I would still pick this venue, hiccups and all, I would in a heartbeat. It was beautiful, everyone was so friendly and supportive, they let me set decorations up early (no other weddings until mine), and made me feel comfortable and confident on my wedding day. In the end, I got to marry my husband and he thought everything looked perfect. He thought I was beautiful, and that’s all truly what mattered.
