From the moment we stepped onto the venue property, we knew that this was going to be perfect for our ceremony and reception. The setting is beautifully tucked in nature and created the perfect atmosphere. The Lodge provided the perfect space for an indoor reception.. and our small ceremony was held in the Orchard, in the Gazebo. It actually rained pretty heavily, so it was nice to have a variety of options even in foul weather.
Julia and her team were super easy to work with from the onset. They weren't overbearing, yet accessible and quite helpful when we needed them, which was perfect for us.
My husband and I felt comfortable and welcome having a unconventional wedding at this location. Laughing Waters in particular, offered many amenities that were useful to us having a mid-scale DIY wedding that we simply could not find anywhere else. Providing us a kitchen, a separate cottage for the newlywed couple, and sleeping for up to eight within the building and camping around the grounds were all excellent and let us have the wedding we wanted that we simply could not find anywhere else.
Booked this venue for my wedding for the weekend of Nov 4. It was gorgeous and more than I could've ever dreamed of. Julia was super helpful answering questions during the process and taking the time to set up a tour with me to view it (as I live out of state). The property itself is just amazing with wonderful scenery and helped bring all my ideas to life. People can't stop talking about how beautiful it was. The space inside and outside served perfectly in both being large enough but also keeping things intimate (only ended up with around 40 guests total). Not to mention we managed to get lucky and have our wedding just before the last bit of leaves have gone. It really was amazing and I cannot say enough great things about this place.
Laughing waters was just an absolute pleasure. From the first visit we knew this is what we wanted. Speaking with Julia, learning the history of the place, getting the tour and seeing the beautiful nature was wonderful. We toured it again just because we wanted to see how beautiful it was! The wedding was wonderful, the scenery just tied it all together for the most perfect pictures. They helped us with every worry we had, including sending someone right away to fix an issue with the bathrooms! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment on this beautiful property. I hope one day to come back. Thanks again laughing waters!!
We had the most excellent experience working with Laughing Waters. My partner and I reserved the cabin there a few months before and a few months after our wedding we liked it so much! The ability to have guests camp meant we had really amazing flexibility and or guests loved being able to take a moment aside to hike or enjoy the wildlife. The entire experience working with them was so professional -- their rates were straightforward and great value for money. Highly recommend!
The place was beautiful, private, and well appointed for our small (45person) wedding in October. Depending on your guest count, there are numerous options for arranging exactly the kind of event you want with indoor and outdoor options for ceremony to after-party! If you want a dreamy, fairy-tale, or even slightly witchy vibe, I can't recommend this place enough!
Laughing Waters was the perfect venue for our small family wedding. The waterfalls on property are close enough that we could hold our ceremony there without much hassle setting up. The main building itself is absolutely gorgeous and built with such love and care. All of my guests asked me how I found such a hidden gem! The process of booking was also incredibly easy and everyone I spoke with was wonderful. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for couples wanting an intimate, nature-focused ceremony. My husband and I plan to stay here for anniversaries in the future!
This was the most beautiful magical place in the world to have our whimsical and joyful little wedding. We loved every single moment. The lodge was a perfect spot for our family to gather, the honeymoon cabin, beautiful and secluded, yet not far from the main house, and the grist mill absolutely adorable and cozy-- perfect for our flower girl and her parents. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and such fun to explore. There were so many nooks and hollows on the trail that were perfect for our wedding photos. We had our ceremony and reception in the orchard. The kids loved the gazebo, the adults loved the fire pit, and everyone loved the telescopes we hired to see Jupiter and Saturn!!! The whole weekend was a dream and we can't wait return for an anniversary trip.
We loved our three day wedding weekend at laughing waters. Julia was incredibly responsive and helpful. We had 80+ people so had to rent tents and such versus use the 45 person capacity lodge. There were some power limitations at the ceremony field and reception tent but we made it work. Loved our stay and the venue.
Laughing Waters was a beautiful venue for the wedding of my son and his bride. The staff was helpful and responsive when we needed assistance. When we had questions, they were promptly answered. We stayed at the lodge which was gorgeous and well supplied for our comfort. We also had family in the two small cabins next to the lodge, and that worked out really well. We ended up staying for 5 days/nights because we loved it so much and enjoyed spending time in the picturesque setting.
This venue is pretty close to perfect for an intimate wedding. The grounds are amazing and it's wonderful that it sleeps 15 people (which was our wedding party and plus-ones). My only suggestions to the venue is signage for the orchard parking because that got a bit confusing. Otherwise the facilities are great!
Laughing Waters in Gerton, NC was the perfect place to have our wedding weekend! The Laughing Waters Venue offers a great location, beautiful inside area, outside trails, beautiful architecture, plenty of parking, and amazing views. It was our dream venue!! We arrived 7/1/2022 and had our beautiful ceremony outdoors on 7/2/2022. The views, both indoors and outdoors, are spectacular. Laughing Waters was perfect for our all inclusive wedding as we were able to have our ceremony outdoors, followed by first dances on the main floor, then an easy transition downstairs to the reception. The indoors is great for both dining and dancing!
Julia Considine, the manager, is wonderful to work with and was so helpful the entire way through! Julia keeps open communication with you from the very first contact and makes you feel a part of the Laughing Waters family! They also work with a lot of great vendors that they recommend to you. We chose Sweets Mountain Bakery for our desserts table and gluten free cake. They did a phenomenal job with displaying the dessert table and the desserts and cake were absolute perfection! Our other recommendation was our officiant; Dr. Peggy Farmer. We can not thank Julia and Laughing Waters enough for recommending Peggy to officiate our wedding. Peggy soothed my introverted and anxious soul as well as guided family and friends through rehearsal and the ceremony with laughter and beautiful words that we will cherish forever. However, most importantly is how Peggy left a lasting memory on all five of our children as they still talk about how greatly they miss her and wish she lived nearer!
Our guests traveled from FL, NJ, the coast and mountains of NC, SC, TN, and Italy. Our guests were afforded the opportunity to relax and explore the trails. But most importantly, we were able to spend time enjoying one another’s company at what our three year old daughter affectionately calls the “Wedding House”.
Laughing Waters is a magical place. The ceremony was held in a new pavilion at the orchard surrounded by the mountains. What a gorgeous setting to get married!!! Our guests enjoyed a short walk to the lodge marveling the creeks and sweet bridges on the way. The lodge was very clean and staff was incredibly responsive to any needs we had. Our family and friends kept talking about the beauty and magic of Laughing Waters that made our wedding day even more special. We highly recommend this outstanding venue for your big day!
Words are not enough to describe the absolute dream that is Laughing Waters. My husband and I stumbled upon this venue by complete chance and could not have imagined a more beautiful venue for our wedding, reception, and hotel!! Anyone who wants a nontraditional, non-church wedding with beautiful mountain scenery simply has to check out Laughing Waters!
Laughing Waters was an absolutely magical place to have our wedding. We wanted a place were everyone could stay together and have a relaxed time enjoying all that beautiful NC has to offer. Laughing Waters did not disappoint! From the incredible cabins to the gorgeous scenery it was difficult to pick the perfect place for the ceremony, because it was all perfect. Planning a wedding long distances can be stressful, but Julia the property manager was so easy and accommodating to work with. She quickly answered all my emails, gave suggestions on local restaurants, farmers markets, breweries and even extra accommodations close by for guests not able to stay at the lodge. She was quick to respond during our stay with any questions or concerns we had and was super helpful in planning when we had unexpected weather changes. All of our guests were memorized by the beautiful river running behind the main lodge and enjoyed the onsite hikes. Adding to serene magic of Laughing Waters is how Eco-friendly and sustainable the property is, it checked all the boxes for us. We feel like we truly found a magical place to enjoy with our families for years to come and are looking forward to the many additional vacations and memories we will make at Laughing Waters
We were searching for a beautiful venue that would allow us options with food, services, ceremony backgrounds, and bedrooms for our wedding party to stay overnight in. We didn't want to be tied into specific packages with vendors that some venues require. This venue provided everything we were looking for. Both sets of parents had their own little cabin to stay in for the weekend, allowing them privacy. My bridesmaids and their guests stayed with me in the lodge, while we rented the vacation rental overlooking the orchard for the groomsmen to stay in. We were married in the beautiful orchard with the hills behind us. If it were raining, we felt that wouldn't be an issue since the lodge itself holds plenty of beauty for an indoor wedding.
Julia, the Operations Manager, was helpful and generous leading up to the wedding. She worked with us and our schedules as we asked to see the venue one more time a few months before the wedding day and patiently answered our questions.
Laughing Waters was a great spot to have an intimate wedding with those we love and allowed for us to visit with our friends throughout the weekend.
This venue and it’s crew are fantastic! From the start of our booking process to the end of our wedding, Laughing Waters did an amazing job with communication, transparency, and ensuring our special day was set up for success. Julia was great at assisting us and answered any questions we had in a timely manner.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. From the main house, the field, the wheel house, and the couples cabin needs little to no decorations as the ambiance creates a magical experience in itself. Our 60 guests were super comfortable and our bridal party loved being able to stay on site the night before.
It is with tears in our eyes and our hearts full that we thank Laughing Waters for giving us such a wonderful experience.
Our Laughing Waters wedding was an absolute fairytale. Could not have dreamed up a more peaceful, beautiful and sacred setting. Julia was wonderful to work with.
Laughing Waters is a wonderful and gorgeous location. We and all our guests very much enjoyed the Laughing Waters estate with so much greenery around it and so many creeks, hiking trails, and waterfalls. The staff is exceptional and from the day we have decided to book it, the Property Manager Julia had helped us in anyway she could and she’s very responsive in communication and very hospitable. The cabin is wonderful and all adults and kids enjoyed the stay. We thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this location for any wedding events or for anything else in general.
Laughing Waters is simply a magical place to get married. From the majestic scenery and waterfalls, to the grand yet cozy lodge, and all the outdoor extras like hydroelectric pond and stone chimneys for fire pits. A modern Eco retreat that is simple gorgeous. It even has a cute little couples cabin next to the lodge so we could have our own space. And don't forget to check out that private swimming hole behind the lovers cabin!
The Manager and Owner made sure we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions promptly as they understand a lot goes into planning a wedding. Having helpful, friendly support is so crucial to making a wedding go smoothly. They made sure everything was ready for us and we are grateful.
I highly recommend Laughing Waters for your next wedding or retreat, and the memories we made there will last a lifetime!
Laughing Waters is absolutely stunning! I was the wedding planner for a fall wedding and it was gorgeous. Julia was easy to work with. Attentive, supportive, and communicated with us all along the way. Any questions we had were answered, requests made for the day of the wedding were handled and taken care of. I/we appreciated her quick responses, kindness, and support.
Laughing Waters and Julia were so incredibly helpful in helping us find the perfect venue. Julia responded promptly, gave us the information we needed, and did everything she could to work within our budget. Although we ended up finding a venue closer to our hometown, I would HIGHLY recommend Laughing Waters!!
Working with Laughing Waters has been a dream come true for our Halloween Wedding! The venue itself is stunning and has the perfect energy for our woodland full moon wedding, you can feel the love and intention that went into building every aspect of the property, and I loved their commitment to honoring the land on which it stands.
Aside from the obvious beauty of the location, the staff has been incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Super laid back and accommodating, and especially adaptable as we navigate the already stressful time of wedding planning with the added uncertainty of working with COVID.
I look forward to returning to Laughing Waters in years to come for any retreat-related purposes we may have!
Planning a wedding for my daughter in late October. From the beginning of the process it has been a pleasure to work with the staff at Laughing Waters. They have been easy to work with. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a great private location in the woods.
This beautiful waterfall oasis tucked in the mountains was the perfect setting for our wedding! It's a very flexible space with lots of options for ceremony, reception, and lodging. And the people operating it are the best!
Laughing Waters provided the most beautiful and relaxing space for our wedding. We had so much fun decorating the arbor in the orchard with fresh flowers and chiffon for our celebration and it turned out just beautiful. Our family was so comfortable in the lodge and cottage and enjoyed the state trails, creek and waterfalls in the backyard. We had tables on the deck and in the great room with plenty of space to dance on the first floor. It was a majestic experience and we highly recommend Laughing Waters!
Julia and Jane have been fantastic to work with and Laughing Waters is an extraordinary place to have a smaller wedding. They are responsive, flexible, and there to make your event special. Multiple outdoor locations and a beautiful lodge interior give you plenty of options for your ceremony regardless of the season or day-of weather. We ended up having to change venues due to guest list size, but everything in us wanted to have it at Laughing Waters based on the people running it and the property itself. I can not recommend them enough!
Laughing Waters was the perfect venue for our small wedding! It was intimate and romantic, with a hint of rustic. We could not have picked a better spot!
We got married here in May 2019 and it was everything I could have hoped and more. The venue is gorgeous-complete with mountain views, waterfalls, lush greenery, and the house is beautiful. All of our guests were amazed! The best part about the property is the different locations...we had the ceremony in the orchard, the cocktail hour out on the deck overlooking the waterfall, the dinner under a tent in the meadow, and danced under the stars by the old chimneys. Seriously a fairytale place! The property manager was also really easy to work with and helped us with all our planning needs promptly. I would highly recommend Laughing Waters to anyone looking for a dreamy wedding location.
Our wedding day at Laughing Waters was amazing. Everything was clean, natural, and gorgeous! We will always treasure this beautiful place. The site fit our personalities and interests to a T, so when we came across it on The Knot, we knew it was the place we'd have our wedding!! Thank you Heidi for all your help!! We hope to have more celebrations at Laughing Waters in the future. If you're looking for a one of a kind place: this is it! The North Carolina mountain views and waterfalls make this place so relaxing. Plus, their sustainable features make them one of a kind. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Our wedding was this September at Laughing Waters. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for us! It accommodated our 60 person wedding really well, the amenities were great and our friends who stayed with us during the wedding weekend loved it too! We wanted our wedding to feel intimate and like a fun dinner party and using the house for our reception definitely made that a success! It was also great fun to go hiking right from the house the day after the wedding! I would highly recommend this venue!
Laughing Waters is a very beautiful venue, in a gorgeous natural setting, surrounded by conservation land. It was a magical place to get married, with a mountain river rushing past and rhododendrons blooming all around us. We loved the lodge and the cottage and appreciated that our friends had a place to camp at the venue. There are many wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy. They are also easy to work with and made everything pleasant.
Our destination wedding at Laughing Waters Retreat Center was simply magical. We could not have asked for a more perfect and beautiful venue in such a beautiful setting and with excellent accommodations nearby for everyone. Family traveled from Texas and from as far north as New York and as far south a Florida and ALL enjoyed the beauty of Laughing Waters. I would highly recommend this "little slice of heaven" for any couple who desires a "natural majestic cathedral" outdoors in which to exchange their wedding vows...Priceless memories!
Laughing Waters was the PERFECT venue for our intimate fall wedding! We had plenty of space, access to all the amenities of home and it felt like a true family affair. The staff are absolutely wonderful to work with, and they will go out of their way to help you make your day incredible.
The 360 mountain views were breathtaking, countless spots for taking photos, and more. Our guests raved about the location because it was open, clean, and in the heart of the mountains.
If you are looking for a place to have a small wedding, look no further. You can't beat a full weekend price with lodging included!
This venue was perfect for our wedding. My husband and I love the NC mountains and waterfalls in particular and there could not have been a better setting to bring these interests into our wedding day. Our contact at the venue gave us a great tour of the place and was quick to respond to our questions before and after we signed the contract.
All our guests loved the space as well. We could decorate it as we wished and that was something that was really important to me since I had ideas of how I wanted everything to look. It was also really nice that Laughing Waters had many of the things we needed for our event like tables and chairs. Being able to have a few family and friends stay at the venue the nights before and after the wedding was very convenient as was having the little cabin available to us for getting ready in the morning.
We rented a tent on the meadow because we feared rain and while it didn't rain for the actual ceremony, it did during our indoor reception which meant we couldn't put any guests on the deck. By putting about 6 tables on the main floor and 4 in the basement we accommodated all of our 70-80 guests and still had room in the basement for dancing.
My husband and I were just married at Laughing Waters this past June 2018. Having our wedding at Laughing Waters was the best decision we made for our wedding. Laughing Waters is a mountain paradise. We had our wedding in the meadow, surrounded by family, friends and trees. We had our reception at the Lodge, only steps away from the meadow. The rustic, but natural elegance of the property captivated everyone. Our guests were astounded by the lush green grounds, the gorgeous lodge and the beautiful sounds and sights of the "laughing" waters behind the property. We left that weekend so full of love, feeling so lucky to have been able to celebrate with our closest family and friends in such a breathtaking setting. Thank you Laughing Waters, we will never forget that day!
Laughing Waters is such a magical place to share one of the most important days in your life with your family and friends! My wife and I got married there in a mystical monsoon on the fall equinox, September 21, 2013. We originally planned to get married in the orchard, but we were able to easily adapt plans to keep all of our guests dry and happy. The great room is an expansive and truly unique space, plus generous covered outdoor porches provided great options for folks to hang out until the rain finally let up. Then we got the creekside fire going for those who wanted to stay up late with the new bride and groom! The honeymoon cabin played dual purpose as my wife stayed there the night before with a couple of her best friends, and then we stayed our wedding night after we finally shut down the family campfire. In addition to the amenities around main house and old farmstead, there's great hiking trails throughout the expansive property and contiguous protected lands (of various levels of difficulty), swimming holes, and a very palpable connection to the natural and human history of the site. We will forever feel fortunate to have been married at Laughing Waters, and want to thank Jane and John for all they did to help plan and facilitate.
Our wedding on April 25 2015 was magical. Laughing Waters retreat center made the magic happen. The flowers,trees,mountains and the stream were a perfect ambiance. The bedrooms,kitchen,decks, living room were great accomadation
We had such a beautiful wedding at Laughing Waters, taking full advantage of all the cabins on site and space for our guests to camp. Midnight fires by the stream, an apple orchard ceremony, live music on the back deck, dinner in the meadow, there could not have been a more diverse setting for our wedding. We are so grateful for Heidi in helping to manage our weekend, we paid in full by a date and received an early bird discount. The venue has many amenities that can help to make the wedding of your dreams and we truly will never forget Laughing Waters and our experience.
Love! Love! Love! We absolutely loved Laughing Waters. Our wedding weekend was the most perfect we could have ever asked for. The home accommodated almost everyone in our family that stayed overnight. This was about 20 of us. It was a perfect weather May Day, windows open, gorgeous setting. The decor fit our idea of a rustic wedding quite easily. Dinner out in the deck and dancing downstairs. Hiking around the property. I just can’t say enough about how every little detail about our wedding was simply everything we hoped for and more. Laughing Waters made this happen for us. Thanks for everything.
Brooke and Carolyn are hands down the best in rental gurus in town. They have so much to offer, and if they didn’t have exactly what we wanted, they were willing and excited to talk about ways to make it happen. They’re both so creative and helped my wedding day vision come to life. The deliveries were all on-time, clean, and they worked great with the other vendors. We had to call our rain plan and move the ceremony and cocktail hour inside, and their team did not miss a beat with helping get this done and still making the venue look gorgeous. I don’t know what we would have done without them!
I cannot give this vendor a five star review because of one thing. Our wedding had tall and low centerpieces at our reception, all of the low’s were supposed to get blush sequin table runners and the tall ones were to get champagne satin runners. When I walked into our reception venue my eyes immediately went to the incorrect colored runners on all of our tall centerpiece arrangements. It wasn’t the end of the world but when you pay for something and have a vision you want it to be correct. Obviously none of our guests noticed but to me, these were our wedding colors and they were executed wrong.
My husband and I got married here in October 2015. The decision to have our wedding at Laughing Waters was one of the best decisions we made in terms of our wedding. The staff at Laughing Waters are so friendly and very accomodating. Even though it rained on our wedding day, they did everything in their power to make the day a success. We had our ceremony outside next to the creek behind the lodge, and had our reception inside the lodge. Their property is gorgeous and very well kept. Also, the hiking trails and the apple orchard are absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend having a wedding here if you are looking for that outdoorsy, intimate feel.
Really, this place was so incredibly beautiful! I was able to have a dream wedding here! The land is so so beautiful and everyone who came was amazed! There is even a swimming hole hidden off the path that my bridal party all loved visiting!
We had a great experience with ultrapom! We rented table cloths, a cake table, string lights, chiffon draping, table numbers and some hand lettering and mirrors from them. Ultrapom showed up to the venue the Friday before the wedding to set things up and we were also there to set up a few things like memory table, etc. It was nice to see the ultrapom team at work! It seems like such a production and they pulled it off flawlessly. All of our rentals from ultrapom looked amazing and we were very happy with their services and team! It was very easy to communicate with ultrapom and they were quick to respond to emails and very helpful!
Everything we rented from Ultrapom was gorgeous and very high quality for a reasonable price. They made our wedding beautiful!! In particular, they seem to specialize in decor or rental items that are really unique and have a very hand-picked feel (as they must be). Whether you're having a starkly modern wedding with a lot of geometric decor, are more bohemian, or are a fiend for pastels and luxurious and interesting metallics, this is the place for you. Can't recommend them enough!
I used Ultrapom for water goblets, forks, and chafing dishes for my wedding. Working with Ultrapom was easy and stress free. Makenzi was very helpful and communicated very quickly. She even was able to add on last minute items with no problem! I highly recommend Ultrapom!
I cannot say enough good things about Brooke and her team at Ultrapom. We had to rent everythingggggg for our empty venue and had a tight budget. She was able to make all of our dreams come true and made it happen as CONVENIENTLY as decorating an entire venue, could be. Thank you, Ultrapom, for taking our vision, making it look amazing, and most of all, for being such a pleasure to work with! I cannot recommend you all enough!
When starting to plan my wedding I had no idea renting decorations, linens, napkins, etc. were possible. It just never crossed my mind. But everything we rented added something very special. Ultrapom saved the day when it came to my ceremony décor. I had come to accept that the church I was getting married in was not going to have the elegant theme I wanted it to have. My wedding planner suggested renting a few things to give the church a more elegant feel. Ultrapom actually came to the ceremony site to help brainstorm some ideas and the final product was PERFECT. Just with some simple pipe and drape and a beautiful chandelier the church not only had the sentimental significance but also the beauty and elegance that I really wanted. The accent linens used on the sweetheart table and cake table popped perfectly. It was such a pleasant experience to work with Ultrapom and even though they all worked behind the scenes, the products we rented made the wedding and reception perfect.
We hired Ultrapom for our summer wedding. The morning of our wedding, all of our items were delivered to our venue except for 200 lilac linen napkins to be placed on our guest tables. Because of this, we were forced to use paper napkins and it took away from the overall vision I had for my decor. When I reached out after the wedding, Ultrapom insisted that they did indeed deliver the napkins even though I ensured them that my mother, bridesmaids and I checked every box in the building and never saw them. I was then informed later that the napkins were actually missing from their inventory; however they still insisted that they were delivered and even suggested that one of my guests or other vendors may have taken them. I requested a refund and was ignored for several weeks as they said they wanted to find the napkins first and then decide. I was extremely disappointed in the customer service and feel the situation was handled poorly. I would not recommend Ultrapom for other brides and/or wedding planners. Although their items are beautiful, the process was a headache and not worth the extra stress.
We used Ultrapom for our daughter's wedding and are so glad we did! They were so professional and pleasant to work with. The team came in on Friday before the wedding and put everything in place. They worked like a well oiled machine. In no time, everything was set up and ready to go. Everything was so beautiful and really made the reception look amazing!! From the tables to the china, everything was just gorgeous. After the wedding, they came back on Sunday and broke everything down and were so pleasant to work with. LOVE them and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They helped make our daughter's wedding the day of her dreams. As a mother, that is priceless!
Before the wedding they came out to our church and helped us envision what could be done. Worked well with our other service partners. Their installation and tear down was completed very professionally. They have so much to offer and very creative!
Sheila A., mother of the bride
We rented all of our wedding linens, dishes and some decor items from Ultrapom. They made the entire process so easy! They have a great selection of items, too. You can really create whatever look you're going for with their stuff and the pricing is very reasonable.
Their team was pleasant to work with and very accommodating.
We would highly recommend using Ultrapom.
I used Ultrapom for my table rentals, dishware, flatware, linens, a few decorations, and... the giant gold horse :D They were very professional and easy to work with. I would use them again in a heartbeat!
(BTW, everyone should have a giant gold horse at their wedding because it's a blast to take pictures with!!!)
We rented our specialty linens from UltraPom at the last minute, and they were so helpful and willing to provide for us on a short time line. Their velvet tablecloths were so luscious, perfect for our sweetheart table. I would definitely recommend working with them!
I used Ultrapom to rent several items for our wedding including cocktail tables, table cloths, and a birch arch for our ceremony. The staff were easy to work with and delivered and set up everything on time. Returning the items was a breeze as well. Thank you, Ultrapom!
We used Ultrapom for our gold candelabras and tufted chairs. The chairs really added a special touch for my husband and I. Everything was simply beautiful and looked so elegant!
Great unique rentals!
Loved everything we rented from ultrapom! They were friendly and easy to work with! Very responsive to all my emails and all my silly questions! Thanks!
I got married on 10.29.2016. We used Ultrapom for some of our decorations throughout the wedding and reception. It was wonderful working with Ultrapom, as they communicated with our wedding venue and coordinators throughout the process. [I truly recommend using vendors that have worked together in the past, it really helps with communication!]
Every piece envisioned was brought to life by Ultrapom. We had a beautiful backdrop for the wedding/reception, and used gorgeous, glittery table cloths. Everything looked elegant, nothing looked cheap.
Great services!
