I can't say enough wonderful things about Cherry Run Lodge—it truly exceeded all of our expectations. Nestled in what feels like the middle of a serene forest, the venue offers a breathtaking view of an expansive, open field that creates an enchanting and peaceful atmosphere. The natural beauty surrounding the venue made it feel like we were in a fairytale, with the perfect balance of seclusion and elegance.
The venue itself is decorated so beautifully—classically elegant yet warm and inviting. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, from the floral arrangements to the subtle touches that added to the overall charm. It felt like a perfect blend of nature and sophistication, and it was exactly what we had imagined for our wedding day. I have to give special thanks to Marie, our venue host, who made everything run smoothly. She was an absolute star throughout the entire process. Marie’s professionalism and calming presence gave me so much peace of mind. From the moment we arrived, I knew I could trust her to handle every detail. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything flowed perfectly, and her accommodating nature made me feel completely at ease. Her dedication to making our day flawless was evident in every aspect of the event. If you're looking for a venue where you can feel confident that everything will be taken care of and your day will be nothing short of perfect, I wholeheartedly recommend this venue. Not only is it a stunning location, but it's run by a truly wonderful family that pours so much care and attention into every event they host. It was an unforgettable experience, and we will always treasure the memories made at this beautiful venue. Thank you, Marie, and your beautiful family, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful! The owners are beyond kind and amazing to work with! They help in any way possible! It is beautiful inside and out- there are so many places for great photos including the Lodge itself, the new deck they just added on, over by the pond and even down in the field! I’ve had every event there from my wedding shower to my wedding to getting maternity photos and just recently my baby shower and it’s always the best time!!

The owners, Jason and Marie were exceptionally easy to work with and helpful in planning our event. They were attentive to all of the details, which made our wedding day perfect. They are very personable and made us feel almost like family. The venue itself is very beautiful and we were able to have the ceremony outdoors on the deck/pavillion in early November. The reception was held inside with a cozy atmosphere with a fireplace, but also room for dancing. We can't say enough about how pleased we were with everything and highly recommend Cherry Runn Lodge.

I don’t even know where to start in describing how amazing this venue was for our wedding. We held both the ceremony and reception at the lodge, and Marie and Jason were fantastic to work with—so accommodating during our visits and throughout the planning process. The lodge has such a warm and inviting atmosphere, and our pictures turned out stunning, thanks to all the care and effort put into maintaining the grounds.
I have recommended and will continue to recommend the lodge for weddings because of the incredible experience we had. Being able to hire bartenders directly through the lodge was a huge relief, and Faith and Adam were absolutely wonderful to work with.
