Reserve at Dancing Elk

ecommend this venue to another bride. The manager is going to make the planning process even more stressful than it should be. She doesn't remember/write down what you talk about therefore she'll say one thing then changes it the next moment and makes it then be your word against hers. The Chef and Manager are like divorced parents making you the kid stuck in the middle. They don't communicate making it worrisome that the right meal will even be served. They won't give you an event order to know exactly what you are paying for/getting. So be very careful that they don't sneak extra fees on your bill or after. They don't have enough staff to take care of the property or your event (cleaning, waitstaff, etc) one example being that there is mold in the bridal suite. We ended up having to hire a 3rd party wedding planner to make sure everything went correctly. Overall the property might be pretty in photos but it is not worth the headache so chose a different venue. I would've if I could.

Garcia) is the back-bone of the operation (handling anything wedding related and financials). Ranch Manager (Jonathon) keeps outdoor facilities in-check: lodging, gate access, and provided an ATV property tour. Both are very hardworking individuals and take pride in their work. I will now be providing a ROAD-MAP for future couples-to-be who want to save endless hours of discussions, excel sheets, comparison charts, phone calls, etc. See below for entire Vendor List that made our day simply Perfect-!

as just NOT there. You only have the option of reaching one person for all your questions and she never responds back until I message and call multiple times for multiple days. The "day of coordinator" was no where to be found almost the entire reception and my husband and I had to run around and try to get everything on our timeline done alone. Needless to say we didn't even get to do our sparkler send off because we had to do everything the coordinator was supposed to be doing. The only upside is I got to marry my wonderful husband. Definitely needs new management

autiful pond and landscaping. I planned the ceremony in the evening to have the perfect sunset for an outdoor wedding. The staff is also very helpful and supportive. They have onsite catering so i didn't need to deal with the hassle of too many vendors. The staff pretty much handled everything for me. I had my dream country girl wedding! It was such a beautiful experience and I wish I could do it all over again!!! I highly recommend this venue for ceremonies and receptions!

from different staff members. My wedding day was beautiful. I just didn't feel like I was a priority for them. I didn't feel like they KNEW me, and that is really sad when the venue is such a large part of your cost.
