Point Lookout Vineyards

, and staff. I can go on and on about how perfect Point Lookout was for us. Cindy allowed us to visit multiple times so we could plan and gain ideas. She mingled with both our parents and fielded all our questions. The Point Lookout crew are also well-versed in their vendors. We had no issues and on our wedding night, it felt like the vendors themselves were part of the Point Lookout family and thus made our night even more special. If you are looking at getting married in the mountains and you should definitely check this venue out. Even when we had adverse weather at our wedding, Cindy and the crew rolled with it and provided us with our dream day. Super professional, outstanding standards, and the wine isn't too shabby either. Can't thank them enough.

edding package does pack a lot of value such as the set up of all your tables, ceremony and reception chairs, a full sized catering kitchen, indoor and outdoor options, a bridal suite and groom's parlor, and a shuttle for your guests to get from the parking lot to the venue. There is even a full bathroom, yes including a shower, in the bridal suite. You will have to rent decor and linen but they already have a lot of their own beautiful decor too like wreaths on the fireplace and lanterns on the floor mantels, so it is still very reasonable. My issue came with delayed invoices, delayed responses, and repetitive communication that made for some anxiety while planning but Cindy is very understanding, flexible, and she may not always respond on your time, but she responds in time. You can tell by her calm demeanor about everything that she has a lot of experience dealing with weddings so while you are freaking out, she is probably picturing how perfect it is going to be once you get to that moment. Everything was clarified on our final walkthrough and changes were even made the day of the wedding. One drawback was being informed that the groom's parlor or bridal suite would be getting remodeled the month of our wedding while doing our final walkthrough, but it really didn’t affect the day any since the boys decided to get ready at a hotel. A huge drawback was that another couples rehearsal was being held the day of our wedding while we were finishing set up. So if that matters to you, ask if you can expect anybody else to hold a rehearsal on your wedding day and if you don’t want that to happen, have it written in your contract. This actually impacted our photographer and videographers schedule greatly and made it difficult to catch pre ceremony footage of the finished reception and ceremony area before guests arrived. It was just a really unexpected stressor that could’ve been planned for if I had known ahead of time. And yes, despite the $6,500 price tag, you will be sharing the venue with the public but I must say the venue and our day-of coordinator did a great job of making sure we didn’t notice! I did not have a problem with the public being the in the tasting room. They were all outside, but that could change with the weather. We had a beautiful first sunny day of Spring that might have impacted this. There were private event signs, ropes, and verbal reinforcement made by our day-of coordinator to ensure the day remained intimate for us and our guests. In all, I have no regrets about the venue we chose. It is a blessing of a place and I truly believe God’s hand is all over it from the weather, to the people who work there and visit or live in the area. My guests and I were respected and treated fairly. Everything worked out! I say give it a go if your heart is set on this venue, but be patient and pray along the way! You are going to encounter hiccups with ANY venue. That is just the nature of the beast of getting married so at least make it memorable with this view and easy to fix with staff that really care about your day like Cindy and her family do!

y recommend them.

ams! We had about 140 out of town guests and every single person said how breathtaking the views were and how much fun they had! You can tell they care about each and every bride at PLV and they go above and beyond to make sure you feel special on your big day! I highly recommend!!!

ws are amazing with wonderful photo opportunities any time of the year. Outside they have both an arch or a cross for your preference for your ceremony . Inside there is a beautiful fireplace that makes an excellent option for exchanging vows. The staff is professional , friendly ,and helpful and will help you plan for all your needs. Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for . Their wines are wonderful also .

ut by 6:30p it was absolutely perfect. We had people smoking cigars around the fire pit and had s'mores. We had about 175 guests + a 6 piece band and there was plenty of room for a dance floor. The team at the venue even moved a couple tables to make the dance floor bigger since so many people were dancing. We worked with Cindy, as our day of coordinator, and she and the entire team ran the show the day of with no issues. She was our saving grace. My husband and I went out with our photographer and the owner in an ATV to take pictures at the most beautiful locations imaginable. We even drank through all the beer that we originally included in our bar package and Cindy and the bartenders worked to make sure it was never an issue - refilling when necessary. I can't imagine the day going any better! HIGHLY recommend!!!

hing went smoothly. We highly recommend having your wedding here! Also, everyone loves the blueberry mead!

staff are wonderful. Our guests loved the view and Lindsay did a great job working our Tiki bar. This venue is very spacious and our guests were able to move around easily without feeling confined. I LOVE this place and will visit often.

for us for any question/concern we had. They have the best staff! Our wedding was a whole day affair. (Two weddings and a reception in one day!) Everything went so smoothly! The view is absolutely breathtaking and all our pictures turned out so great. The bridal and groom suit was perfect! We can go on and on about how wonderful the experience was! :) Cindy, Mike and Sabrina - We love you!

ide a shuttle to the top. This is super important for people who aren’t used to driving in the mountains. The ceremony area and pavilion are fantastic for accommodating a large group like ours. The staff is extremely helpful and patient (my family is a bit boisterous). Cindy, their day-of-coordinator is amazing and went beyond the duties of a coordinator to help the process go smoothly. It was the perfect fall day and there was so much love in the air. You can’t ask for a better venue to provide a romantic ambience and a beautiful view. Thank you!

axed on the day of knowing that they would take good care of us and everything would go smoothly. It rained on our wedding day and the view was still gorgeous with the clouds. We even had a rainbow! The mountains and vineyards are perfect for taking photos. We also used the cellar to take a couple pics and Mike and Sabrina were so kind to help us use that space. Cindy made our day so special. We worked with her for over a year planning the wedding and things went off without a hitch. We're extremely grateful for all of the staff and we're so happy we chose Point Lookout for our wedding. Would highly recommend to anyone who asked!

fect. The venue offers everything you need for a wedding from a bridal suite to a commercial kitchen. Everyone was so helpful and friendly on site. I wholeheartedly recommend everything about Point Lookout for a dream wedding.

niversaries there! Thank you PVL!

lf, my hairdresser, 4 bridesmaids, and two moms. The groomsmen didn't need as much time or space, so they wondered around the grounds. It was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend it to anyone. We booked it on a Sunday, and the day before a holiday. So it was like having a Saturday wedding, but at a Sunday price.

from outside sources and vendors. **Note that we rented the facility BEFORE IT WAS EVEN BUILT so the couple fully trusted PLV with their big day! At the time of booking we knew there “could be” wine tastings on sight but were made aware there was a cellar where tastings could take place if needed. Our wedding day was cloudy with patchy rain and of course PLV decided to use the main area for the wine tasting instead of the cellar in a separate area of the property. We had to share the upper parking area which left handicapped folks being transported up, us carrying items, moving cars and being transported to the main building. The two dressing parlors where the wedding parties get ready are directly off the main building wine tasting area. The problem? To carry in our clothing and supplies we ALL had to walk through the wine tasting area. To have lunch (we had planned to use a table or two in the wine tasting area for easy access but it was full), so we had to walk through there to eat in our main venue where our dinner tables were being set up. For photos and all other needs we had to walk through there. Crowded. People irritated. Us scooting around servers and people. Just crazy! The bridal parlors are decent sized but there are not adequate plus ins or hanging areas and the downstairs one has no ventilation. It is hot and again, directly off the wine tasting area so opening the door causes privacy and noise issues. Before the ceremony, the people at the tasting could see the couples “first look” when family was asked to let it be a private moment. The entire wedding party had to traipse through there to come and go. Very tight and uncomfortable. The venue itself is beautiful and everything was awesome. However, we had guests later tell us that folks from the tasting area were walking across the hall to get drinks from our open bar and desserts. We also saw every employee eating plates of our food including the wine tasting staff. The couple had small boxes of food to take home but very little was left. It seemed the venue worried more about the wine tasting than the wedding. You may wonder why we didn’t address any of this with the owner. We did. He rudely informed us that this was the way they handled all weddings, that the brides knew (though who would have ever thought the unbuilt building would have such a horrible layout) and that we’d have to deal with it. Easy solution? Use the cellar for tastings on wedding days. We guess $7k per day is not enough for some greedy people. Selling those extra bottles of wine are worth an unsettled, difficult to maneuver wedding day. It’s a nice view but I would probably find another one.

of their help along the way! 
Point Lookout is a beautiful venue and has the most spectacular views you could imagine. Everyone at our wedding had an amazing time and had nothing but positive things to say. Because Point Lookout is an outdoor venue, it accommodates up to 300 guests, so there is plenty of room for everyone to eat, drink, mingle and dance! It is very open, so everything flows smoothly. Overall, the venue is in a very secluded, private location. However, the wine tasting room is open, even during private events. Although I was a little nervous about having strangers walking around during our special day, I never noticed anyone who had not been invited, so it really was not a problem at all. Our wedding was in the summer, so the natural light was absolutely perfect! The beautiful chandeliers provided ample light after the sun went down. Point Lookout is a beautiful venue and has the most spectacular views you could imagine. The vineyard is gorgeous, and there are miles of mountainous panoramic views. It is naturally pretty. We only had flowers and a few signs for decorations, and that was plenty! Even with having a summer wedding, it was very cool during the reception with the mountain breezes. There were more than enough outlets for everything. There were also 2 screens under the pavilion, which worked wonderfully for our videos that were played during the reception. There is a large parking lot right below the ceremony and reception are. Parking attendants and shuttle service was also offered for those who need/want to be shuttled to the ceremony and reception sites. There is also a Plan B included in the venue price in case of inclement weather. Even with us being outdoors, everyone was able to hear us during our ceremony, and the speeches and toasts given during the reception were just as great! There is a full-service catering support kitchen to be used by your caterer. The bathrooms were very large and super clean! There was an outdoor patio with a fire pit and beautiful rocking chairs. The venue price included the use of farm tables, round tables, and cross-back chairs for the reception, as well as wooden chairs for the ceremony. We were able to use the Bridal Suite and Groom’s Parlor to get ready in. They were on the smaller side, but they were very clean, comfortable, and relaxing before the big moment. They also offer military discounts, which was a huge plus for us. Both my husband and I highly recommend it for an outdoor venue with a perfect mountain view. Thank you so much Point Lookout Vineyards, for making our wedding day one to remember!

d and the onsite coordinator, Meagan, was professional and the hardest working coordinator you'll ever find.

The bridal party of 8 (including the bride) were able to get ready in the room; it was a bit hot but the window opens to get some air. The venue in itself is breathtaking. We loved having the chance to have our ceremony outside, overlooking the vineyard! And then going under the wooden pavilion to have our reception. The wooden tables for the wedding party were beautiful. The chairs for the ceremony were comfortable because they are padded. The alcohol package they have is amazing! I would highly recommend serving their wines and meads they make on site at your event. The catering kitchen is clean and organized. The tasting room is big and airy with lots of seating inside and outside. for the wedding, we were able to have some of the venue staff shuttle wedding guests from the gravel lot to the building. Everyone at the venue is polite and kind hearted. My husband and I were in awe of the beautiful of the venue and the mountain backdrop. 10/10 we will recommend this venue to our friends and family!

also great! He showed us around the property. I cannot wait for this beautiful place to be the beginning of the most wonderful journey. We are already looking forward to visiting yearly on our anniversary! I highly recommend Point Lookout!
