We absolutely loved Buchanan Hall! It was absolutely gorgeous, especially with the May flowers just starting to blossom -- perfect for an outdoor wedding in the garden, but with pl...
enty of beautiful indoor space that left us confident in our rain plan. The piano was great for live music, the stage worked well for our first dance, the sunny side room was perfect for high tea before the reception, and we even used one of the Hall's couches and coffee tables for the Bride and Groom table at the front! Every odd request, Buchanan Hall was ready to answer and help us make even better than we'd hoped.
Montana and the team were incredibly helpful with everything, including many walk-throughs, an unusual contract request, and advice on decorating the space best. Parking was easy, and there were tons of places for photos.
Are you starting to get the idea from this review that you should use Buchanan Hall? Good! You should! It was amazing!

got married and hosted our cocktail hour outside on the lawn and for October the weather was chilly, but beautiful. Note: Can be buggy in the summer and is far from hotel and transport options on winding country roads. Mountain views in the distance though make for stunning photo ops.
