Where do I even begin? Beyond the Morris Estate being set in the most beautiful location with absolutely stunning views, the team there exceeded anything I could have ever imagined....
We chose to have a micro wedding, which allowed us to reserve all of the on-site housing. That decision turned our wedding into a full, laid-back weekend experience with our closest friends and family. Our guests are still talking about how amazing it was to hike the property, relax in the hot tub, and truly unplug together. Having everyone we love enjoy a weekend away alongside us brought us so much joy.
Cara, the coordinator, is truly an angel. She is incredibly organized, asks all the right questions to ensure nothing is overlooked, and knows how to handle every situation with ease. She made our day feel effortless from start to finish. Nate is equally phenomenal — the food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests could not stop raving about it. From breakfast in the morning, to lunch while getting ready, to dinner that evening, everything was delicious. I only wish I hadn’t been so busy so I could have eaten more! And unlike so many venues where the couple misses the appetizers during photos, they made sure we had our own plate — and even brought us more when we mentioned how incredible they were.
If you’re still with me, the reception itself was just as perfect. Because we had a micro wedding, we had the entire River House to ourselves. Friends played games, gathered around a cozy fire, and enjoyed expertly crafted drinks from the bartender. Truly, nothing went wrong — and that is entirely thanks to the incredible staff at the Morris Estate.
We originally chose this venue for the white chapel, the opportunity to spend an entire weekend with our loved ones, and the promise of a perfect fall wedding. What we received was a thousand times more than we ever imagined. Now, my husband and I get to return for weekend getaways to the place where we were married, and our friends are already saying we should spend holidays there together. Everyone kept asking me how I found this hidden gem *wink wink* The Knot.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, Morris Estate. You are truly a dream come true.
