The most beautiful wedding venue I could imagine!
When we started planning our wedding two years ago, we knew there were a few things we absolutely needed - space for a lot of peo...ple and a big band and a lot of dancing, rustic chic (no barrels, plz), and beautiful. My now-husband and I did a venue search looking through many, many pictures, sorting them all into tabs of yes, maybe, and no, and making arrangements for tours from our favorites.
At the time of tours, my mom lived in Colorado, so she flew out for the weekend and she, me, my now-husband and his mother did 10 venue tours over the course of 4 days. My now-husband couldn't make it to the first one (which happened to be Rosemont Springs) as it was on a Thursday during the day, when he had to work. As we did all the others, he remembered seeing particular photos when we did our search and kept waiting to see it in person. Each one just wasn't it. When we were able to book a second tour of Rosemont Springs, the minute he saw it, he knew that's what he'd been waiting for. I was happy as well, because it had been my favorite all along!
Our favorite story from the tour was Biff Genda (the owner) telling us that when they decided to build a barn venue, they went to many others in the area and made a list of what they liked and didn't like, and then took everything they wanted and built their own. And it's perfect, and beautiful, and everything we wanted as well.
Working with the venue was slightly more challenging, but still ended up in everything we wanted for our wedding. Jaime with room reservations was great and so easy to work with, we loved her! The venue itself seems to be a bit old fashioned (fitting for their image), as the record keeping is all done on paper, so there were a few miscommunications throughout the process from one person to another on staff. Also, they don't accept any form of electronic payment, which was a bit of a hassle being an hour away from the venue. But in the end, it was all worth it for the beautiful wedding of our dreams to be able to happen.
