Black Hills Receptions & Rentals

nue and our wedding and we were so happy with everything.

ths we worked together, and she always responded quickly. Several times I stopped at the venue to show various bridal party members the facility for planning purposes, and she always offered to give us a tour. We had several meetings to make plans and ensure everything was to my expectations. Rehearsal and wedding day came with a lot of rain, but if it made things difficult to set up, etc. I never knew about it. Anytime Barb heard I was worried about something, or concerned something wasn't going right, she personally made sure to come find me and let me know that it was taken care of and to enjoy my day. The biggest thing for me was some of my family members have significant health issues, including my father. They went above and beyond to make sure all accommodations were made so they could enjoy the day with little to no inconveniences. From being available to drive them around the property as needed in the golf cart, to making sure the oxygen machine would be unobstructed, and trying to keep the temperature suitable for everyone. One review mentioned that staff started to tear down early; they did the same at mine, but they never touched tables where people were still sitting. I got married on a Friday, and I knew they had another wedding right away the next day, so I was not bothered by that. However, others may be. I had LED glasses for guests at the wedding also, and it was refreshing to see Barb and other staff members enjoying them and dancing to the music, having a good time. The next day when we came to pick up our things, everything was at the back door waiting for us. Barb made a point to greet us, thank us for having our wedding with them, and gave me a hug before we left. If I had any criticism about the venue, my only suggestion would be to dim the main lights more in the tent during the dancing, but it was definitely not something that put a damper on the night. I had no complaints from guests, family, or bridal party members regarding the venue or their employees. I have nothing but appreciation for everyone at Black Hills Receptions, especially Barb. By the end of our time working together, I felt like I had known her for years.

or a venue. I cannot stress enough how great it is that a venue has all the decor you need, sets up everything from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception and tears it all down as well. On top of that they box up anything you left from the wedding so you can pick it up the morning after. To not have to worry about setting up or tearing down anything was such a stress reliever and it made my wedding day ten times more enjoyable, not only for me but for my mom, mother-in-law and all of our family because we knew everything would be taken care of. Oh and not to mention one of the most important parts, the venue is GORGEOUS! I am from Sioux Falls and I cannot tell you how many compliments we received on how well maintained and beautiful the venue was. Overall, I am so thankful for Joanne and Barb for making my wedding dreams come true.
