LaValley Estates was absolutely incredible — we couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married. Dillon (the owner) went above and beyond and made our wedding even better than we could have imagined. He was so easy to work with, super accommodating, and gave us amazing vendor recommendations for everything from lighting to food to our day-of coordinator. Huge shoutout to Dillon for the homemade bread (our guests loved it!) and the champagne tower — such memorable touches that made the day feel extra special. A special shoutout also goes to Sara, the event coordinator, who was truly fantastic. She gave us great suggestions on how to set up the barn and our lighting, was incredibly responsive and available in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and constantly cheered us on and encouraged us throughout the entire planning process. Our family and friends stayed on the property and loved all the amenities — the pool, hot tub, sauna, trails, and even feeding the goats in the morning! It was peaceful, beautiful, and such a fun, relaxing place to spend the whole weekend. We had our ceremony down by the creek, happy hour on the patio outside the barn, and our reception in the barn — every part of it was perfect. The property is stunning, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. We were even able to visit a couple of times before the wedding, and Dillon was always flexible and welcoming. If you’re looking for a unique, scenic, and well-run venue that lets you truly enjoy your wedding weekend, LaValley Estates is the place. We’re beyond happy we chose it!

It was truly a dream venue! I had the best wedding I could ever imagine, thanks to the incredible host and their stunning property surrounded by forest, rivers, and lakes. The host was exceptionally responsive, caring, and friendly, helping us set everything up perfectly for the wedding dinner. The property had absolutely everything we needed — a cozy space where guests could gather indoors and outdoors, a pool that everyone enjoyed (even in early October, thanks to the warm weather), a sauna, a jacuzzi, and, of course, the beautiful barn where we hosted the dinner. It was equipped with great sound and video systems too. I wish I could relive that day — it was truly magical and unforgettable.

I apologize now because I have tried so many times to offer a short version of this review for those who do not like to read but it is simply impossible. I have way too many praise...

s to address. This venue is unlike any venue I looked at, which was literally hundreds, all over the U.S. I had a very specific vision for what I wanted on my wedding day and LaValley Estates went ABOVE AND BEYOND every expectation and wish that I had. I was initially attracted to the location because of the ceremony location next to the river. Pictures do this location zero justice. Standing in the clearing can literally take your breath away with how beautiful and magical it is. It is definitely a spot worthy of marrying the love of your life. The reception location, again, breathtaking! We had more than enough room for our guests and everything needed for setup. It also has a deck that overlooks a pond (again great for beautiful photos. The week of the wedding we stayed in the farmhouse on the property. It fit our whole family which was just amazing for bonding during the week. The house itself was clean, as well as the towels/linens, and we had everything we needed and more. As amazing as the accommodations and scenery were, I feel it is necessary to shout out the owners, Mr. Dillon and Mr. Jeff. I live in Texas so trying to plan a destination wedding could have easily been a nightmare, but it was not, thanks to them. The professionalism, communication, and willingness to help was just beyond being a good host. Every question I had was answered. Every concern was addressed. I was struggling to find good vendors without being able to meet in person so they gave me recommendations. Each person they recommended, I did end up working with, and oh my gosh. Fantastic! Each step, they worked with me and made sure everything was covered and in place. I truly believe they did more to help me than any venue even needs to and I am forever grateful. My wedding day was filled with a thousand magical, emotional moments thanks to LaValley Estates. I still tear up thinking of the event and looking at my photos because it was simply perfect. LaValley forever holds a piece of my and my husband's hearts now. We cannot wait until we can return for a visit and I know it will be just as amazing. Forever grateful to you LaValley, Ashley and Jeevan.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having our wedding here. It was everything we could have dreamed of! The home has such charm, it made for incredible getting ready photos, and ...

even held both of our large immediate families for the weekend (held our rehearsal dinner too). The property was the perfect setting for our first look photos. The rustic barn and deck overlooking the pond, acted as our cocktail area and reception hall. The space accommodated our 80 guests with ease (could hold more) even with our buffet style dinner, full service bar, etc. All of my vendors were able to set up easily, as well. The ceremony took place across the street, tucked away in the trees right alongside the river. The leaves were falling, you could hear the water running... truly a fairytale! Finally, Dillon was such a gracious host, easy to communicate with, super flexible, gave us great local recommendations, and even brought over some delicious local pastries wedding day morning. Highly recommend!!

Describing our wedding at LaValleyEstates as anything less than magical feels inadequate. It was like living in a fairytale, so much so that without the photos, I'd question if it ...

actually happened. Dillon and his team were nothing short of incredible, managing everything with grace The barn and riverside ceremony area are breathtaking, even more so in person, and I find myself still lost in daydreams of that perfect day. We received endless compliments on how stunning the venue looked during the cocktail hour and afterward. It was heartwarming to see friends and family updating their social media profiles with our wedding photos. I can't emphasize enough how every penny spent was worth it. What's truly special is that despite seeing numerous weddings showcased on their blog or social media, the flexibility and personal touches allow you to craft an event that's uniquely yours. Thanks to options like vintage rentals, flexible site visits and the freedom to choose your vendors, no two weddings at LaValley Estates are ever the same.
