Tierra Retreat Center

stions, a picture of their inventory, whatever. Plenty of tables and chairs, and great to be able to reuse decor from other couples. Only suggestion would be to prepare your guests to help DIY, but thats part of what made the weekend so fun and special!

yed the reception on the main lodge lawn. Jen was a delight to work with – great communication. We were worried about smoke and it being too hot but ended up with yellow jackets and a lightning storm instead.

just an evening – a place where we could bring friends and family together from different walks of our lives and spend time together without all of the noise and stress of everyday life. We were not looking for anything flashy and we loved the idea of being tucked away in the woods, but Tierra exceeded our expectations. The flexibility and freedom to use Tierra the way we wanted meant that we were able to curate the perfect weekend that worked for our personalities and our needs. We took full advantage of all of the facilities – breakfasts in the lodge, a lawn game night in the meadow, getting ready in the conference rooms and the yurt, a first look in the woods, ceremony in the amphitheater, and cocktails and dancing on the lodge deck. Because of the natural beauty of the location, we were able to keep decor to a minimum – and many of the items we used were from Tierra’s storage closet itself, allowing us to save money for the things that truly mattered. The suites are far from flashy, and they turned out to be perfect for our “adult summer camp” weekend. We had friends who had previously refused to even consider camping suddenly express interest in the outdoors, and others who continue to rave about how it was the best weekend of their lives. This is no doubt due to the gorgeous surroundings and the incredible venue itself. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how warm, inviting, thoughtful, relaxing, and all-around wonderful Jen was in the entire process leading up to, and throughout the weekend. The process of locking down the dates, asking for pictures of storage items, or going through form and payment details leading up to the weekend, Jen was extremely easy to communicate with. Her laid-back energy matched Tierra’s vibe so well that from beginning to end, we felt right at home. Thank you so much to Tierra and to Jen for helping to make our wedding weekend so magical.

ty of space for yard games. Jen worked w/ my parents to setup the A/V to do a powerpoint slideshow for the guests. The full kitchen was awesome for our caterers to do the food prep onsite. Jen was super easy to work with and the property is wonderful!
