We had the most wonderful wedding this Saturday at Rooted Lounge. Though it is their first wedding season, Stephanie's experience with the wedding industry and the professionalism...
of everyone on the team made it a great experience. We held the entire event (ceremony and reception) at Rooted Lounge and it was a beautiful overall.
Stephanie worked with us to execute our vision, including a cookie table, plentiful beverages for the teetotalers in our group (as well as delicious cocktails), a dumplings of the world appetizer/cocktail hour, and local, seasonal flowers in the decor.
We were so grateful to be able to have an indoor, air conditioned event with plenty of natural light, botanical feel, and yard games.
(It was SUPER hot and many of our guests commented how grateful they were to be indoors and how much they enjoyed the infused water station, available from their arrival!) Everyone enjoyed the food (in house catering was good!)
As an AVID DIYer, I was glad Stephanie set much of my decor, let me bake the cookies for my guests and we had plentiful time to set and reset the space. It was so great to have such high quality, inclusive service. I would definitely recommend this venue!
Edited to add: we just got our photos back and the sunset pictures with the reservoir were a great bonus!!
This is a great spot for small events and wedding celebrations! We hosted our wedding reception here with 108 guests, and everything worked out really well. We were actually the ve...
nue’s first wedding event since becoming Rooted Lounge.
The space was perfect for our group, the food was delicious, and the drinks were fantastic. The bartenders were excellent and kept everything running smoothly throughout the night.
The owners were responsive, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process.
One tip: if you’re hosting a larger group with more than ~35 cars, I’d recommend arranging additional nearby parking and a shuttle for guests. We did this for our wedding, and it made things run smoothly.
Highly recommend!
