I had my wedding at Kuyahoora Lodge and it was absolutely perfect. Their team was amazing to work with, the food was incredible and the Lodge itself was beautiful. My family and friends had the best weekend ever staying at the lodge and surrounding cabins. My wedding truly was the best day of my life all thanks to the Kuyahoora team!

Kuyahoora Resort is magical—plain and simple. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with incredible food, stunning views, and the freedom to actually enjoy your day, this is the place. The property feels like your own private slice of heaven breathtaking, peaceful, and so special. And I have to give the biggest shoutout to Emily, who is truly one of the sweetest, most wonderful humans I’ve ever met. She was unbelievably flexible, supportive, and just radiated kindness the entire time. Having someone like her by your side makes all the difference. From start to finish, it felt like a dream. Highly, highly recommend.
