Blue Vista

t the lodge that is also on-site was fantastic for accommodations for the bridesmaids. It was more beautiful than any hotel we had ever stayed at, and you couldn’t beat the view. We also used the lodge as the site for the girls and guys to get ready, which was perfect. The upstairs suite is a perfect bridesmaid get-away while the downstairs of the lodge provides ample space for the groomsmen to set up some games and hang out before they get ready. The outdoor ceremony site has one of the most fantastic views as well, absolutely STUNNING. We never thought our dream destination wedding was in Manhattan, KS, but this venue was by far the most beautiful venue we had seen (and we looked all over the country). I would give Drew and the Blue Vista 10 stars on here if I could— this place is absolutely unbeatable.

r itself.

ay ever, he was there to help with anything we needed or nay questions we had. The only thing I would suggest if booking this venue be prepared to let your guest know they have a bit of a walk from parking to the venue. Be prepared to have the older people park somewhere or have a ride for them. I never would have dreamed this weekend would of been so perfect. Thanks to drew and all his help they made this weekend the best.

ace. The space is also incredibly versatile. We were able to have a completely different look/feel for the rehearsal dinner from the wedding and reception, and Drew and his team were very helpful in accomplishing our vision. A true blessing to get married here. The lodge is also a beautiful addition. We loved having access to this, as it was a great space to gather, get ready, and enjoy the views.

views and decor. The sunsets and stars create the perfect backdrop to celebrate. Thank you, Drew!!

ce and planning another night in the suit there too!

e no houses or streets in any of your pictures and the background is the river. Although our wedding day was cold and rainy, our pictures still turned out wonderful all because of the nature that surrounds this venue and the building that is majority glass. We had our ceremony and reception in the same building and about 150 guest. After the ceremony we asked our guest to help move the chairs back to the tables. I asked my guest about this and they all said that it was a great idea so that they were not just sitting around waiting for us to come back after taking a few more pictures before the reception. They also enjoyed helping out because it made them even more part of the big day. If you are doing a winter wedding this venue is a great place to do it, and the bridal party can wait in the loft area where guest will not see them but they are still in the building. Also, we decided to rent out the entire guest house for our bridal party and it was 100% worth it. It was nice to hangout with our friends and relax and have fun the night before and the night of the wedding and not have to look for a hotel for us to stay at. It was extremely convenient. This venue is so wonderful and I wouldn't have wanted my wedding anywhere else. I highly suggest at least taking a look at Blue Vista and Drew is a great guy to work with and goes beyond and above for the people who consider his venue. Blue Vista is a beautiful venue and a perfect destination for any wedding, summer, spring, fall, and even winter! I highly suggest Blue Vista!
