We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience here. We stayed Friday and Saturday night for our wedding weekend, and everything from start to finish exceeded our expe...

ctations. From the moment we booked, Kristiana was incredibly responsive, helpful, and genuinely kind. She answered every question we had (and there were a lot!) with patience and clarity, which made the entire planning process feel so much less stressful. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. Peaceful, well-maintained, and the perfect setting for such a special weekend. It felt private and tucked away, which made it even more meaningful for us and our guests. The lodge was just as wonderful. It was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing stay before and after the big day. What really stood out most was how supported we felt throughout the entire experience. We’re so grateful we chose Pryor Place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, seamless, and genuinely welcoming place to celebrate something important.

Wow, we can't say enough good things about Pryor Place! They truly exceeded our expectations. First of all, the staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make...

sure everything was perfect for us. Even when it started raining, they provided us with clear umbrellas, which was a lifesaver! They also helped us with transportation to different photo spots, which saved us a lot of time, stress, and kept us from freezing for too long! We were initially worried about only having ten hours for the wedding, but it turned out to be the perfect amount of time. The venue was well-organized, and everything flowed smoothly. We didn't feel rushed at all, and we were able to enjoy every moment of our special day. Overall, we highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful and easy going wedding experience. The staff's attention to detail, friendliness, and willingness to go the extra mile truly made our day unforgettable. Thank you so much to the entire Pryor place team!

nd reception at Pryor Place 10.07.22 and it was absolutely breathtaking. Kristiana is super sweet and incredibly helpful. I felt super comfortable texting her and asking any questions or asking for clarification on anything I wasn’t sure about. She went out of her way to play a slideshow for me before the wedding to make sure it worked. The day of the wedding, the venue was super clean and spotless. Everything was super organized and easily accessible. We also had Dusty as our event helper. She was more like an event coordinator and I cannot believe how amazing and how helpful she was. Without her I do not think our day would’ve went as smooth as it did. Dusty is truly a blessing and I am so thankful she was there. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for Dusty. This venue is perfect for weddings and I highly recommend checking it out. It is perfect for a buffet, bartender, DJ, dance floor, dessert table, and more! My event only had about 60 guests but it is a large space and can fit so many guests and vendors. The place itself is also super lovely and well taken care of. The pond, the outdoors, the event space, the doors, etc. I hope this reviews helps future brides on deciding their venue, this one will not let you down. I am again so thankful and appreciative of Kristiana and Dusty. Thank you both so much for making our day easy and beautiful.

tely messaged me back that day and set-up a tour for the next day. Kristiana is so kind and I felt comfortable texting her about any question I had no matter how small. The day before my wedding they felt like it was not cold enough in the building for us so they had more air conditioners INSTALLED!!! They truly go above and beyond to make your day perfect! The venue is a perfect canvas for whatever wedding/event you have in mind! The outside space is GORGEOUS and the inside held our 160+ guests perfectly with a bar, dessert table, cake table, buffet and dance floor! And to top it all off they have the most reasonable prices of honestly anywhere! Forever grateful we booked here!

We got married at Pryor Place 4 weeks ago. We had a small wedding with 50 guests. This venue was very well suited for a wedding/reception of our size. There are many positive thing...

s to say about Pryor Place. First of all, the beautiful country setting. I wanted an outdoor wedding and indoor reception. This venue completely fit the bill in this regard. There are several different options for your ceremony. You could get married by the pond, under the beautiful trees, inside the building, or out on the lighted patio facing the west. We chose the patio. We wanted the beauty and simplicity of the trees as our backdrop and timed our wedding to take advantage of the lovely natural light in the early evening. It was all so pretty. Many guests commented on how pretty it was there and wondered how we found such a beautiful venue. It is a more affordable venue than so many other places we had looked into. We took advantage of using the kitchen, and with the help of family, we did our own food and beverages. The sound system made it possible to do our own music as well. As far as wedding furnishings and decor, the venue had more than enough tables and chairs to use. And we even used a few of the decorations there, which were incorporated into the reception decor we brought ourselves. The bride's and groom's rooms were great and comfortably furnished. The owners are a young, energetic, enthusiastic couple who obviously are serious about providing a beautiful venue to accommodate a variety of wedding/event needs. I would definitely recommend this venue for a fuss-free experience and for the owners who try to work with their clients.

We originally had scheduled this venue BEFORE Jeremy, and Kristiana had acquired the property. that being said, they did not have to go above and beyond the way they did to ensure ...

that we would have an AMAZING wedding, within a short amount of time the Van Winkles had turned the venue completely around and made it absolutely gorgeous. This place is only going to get better with time. They were extremely understanding for any concerns, worked day and night weeks before our wedding to make sure the venue was perfect, and gave us, and all of our guests excellent customer service. We would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a beautiful wedding.
