Falconwood Park

Our wedding experience at Hanke Hall was amazing! The staff was one of the main reasons we booked it. They’re so laid back and personable. We wanted this day to be fun, and they matched that vibe completely. Their communication was phenomenal. Jon, the wedding coordinator, and Shannon, the decorator for the set up/tear down package we purchased, made this process as absolutely seamless as possible. The grounds indoor and outdoors were beautiful and clean. We also had multiple options for selecting where we wanted our onsite ceremony to be. If I had to go back and replan, I would pick Falconwood again and again! My only recommendations wound be having a table linen package available, even in just white or black, or recommend local vendors to utilize for this. One of my biggest headaches of this whole process was I made the mistake of buying my own because I didn’t know otherwise. When they were delivered, they were folded into squares which left a ton of wrinkles, and ironing 40+ took hours. The other recommendation would be more mirrors in the cabins. Nothing fancy even, but we rented a few to get ready in for the big day and there was only one very small one per restroom. Overall, such a great experience!

Where do I start with this beautiful place? I am not the bride, but I’m a very close friend to the bride that was helping out with the day. I was very thankful we got to go see everything ahead of time as well as having time to practice for the big day .I really enjoyed the space everything was amazing from Ciera the coordinator to Tracy the owner, as well as the Decorator Shannon, our bartender John . All of the groundsmen that helped prepare the perfect spot for the ceremony. We stayed in a cabin right in front of the venue which was very spacious and so convenient. I’m also so thankful for the Bridal suite it helped when we needed a break, and had our very own private bathroom.Everything went smoothly and the whole place was just beautiful. The bride also opted into have the cake cut a plated, as well as having everything broken down the next day for pick up. Thank you again! We will definitely be booking them again for other events.

If we would’ve had a different coordinator all our problems would’ve been solved. The coordinator made it very stressful for my husband and I the week of the wedding and the day of the wedding. We showed up with the wedding party and our family she was wearing a Hanes sports bra and shorts. I had asked multiple times for a mic for me because I wanted to sing coming down the aisle the coordinator informed me we would have one. The day of the wedding right before the ceremony the owner informed me that there wasn’t an extra mic. (We also paid for the electronics package) When we went to pick up our decorations the next day. (We paid them for set up and tear down) They had some of our items with other peoples wedding stuff and she informed my husband the wagon we had wasn’t ours. She also spoke harshly to my family who was folding the linens because they just piled it all together that we just needed to pick up our items and leave but we wanted to make sure there wasn’t other things that were missing. I understand that they had another event but we had to make sure we had everything that was ours. Overall the venue was beautiful, we did have a lot of fun but some of the people that work there are extremely unprofessional and I wasn’t stressed out about our wedding at all until we had to communicate or at least try to communicate with our wedding coordinator. It was a hot mess.
