I purchased the Mountain View’s package. Absolutely breathtaking scenery perfect for photos! There was more than enough space for all my guests (around 80). I can’t say enough good things about this venue! Extremely professional and kind! When...

I say they will do everything within their power to make your wedding special, that’s no exaggeration! I asked if I could allow my cat to be the ring bearer, and they had no issues whatsoever. I asked if I could change the decorations closer to the ceremony than I should have. They didn’t even bat an eye! My cake company forgot the order and didn’t deliver. Taylor personally ran to the nearest available place and purchased our cake for the guests! Sarah saw me too nervous to talk to people before the ceremony and gently and kindly led them away assigning tasks to give me space! I had special gifts to give my groom and his family. Tosca, the photographer, caught the exact moment they opened them for a beautiful photo. We explained both of us are shy and nervous about standing in front of all those people. Taylor was able to deliver a beautifully crafted speech specifically to us and our relationship while still keeping the time down to respect our nervousness. I highly recommend them! If you hire this company, I you won’t regret it!
