Valley View

I can't say enough how magically my wedding at Valley View was. From the beginning, they were nothing but kind, informative, helpful, and helped to make the wedding as stress free as possible. The venue is drop dead gorgeous and my guests couldn't stop talking about the how gorgeous everything was or about the horse and carriage ride I did through valley Voew either. Jenn was amazing through the entire process and answered all of my questions and concerns through email, text, and call whenever needed. She even helped to keep me calm when it started raining on the wedding day. I wouldn't have made it through the day without her. We used the decor package and I will recommend it as well as Valley Voew in general to anyone that asks!

We cannot thank Valley View enough for the most beautiful and memorable wedding we could have ever imagined. We live in NJ, but Valley View made it very easy to plan the FL destination wedding of our dreams. The venue itself is breathtaking; our pictures have the most stunning backdrop. The staff was incredible to work with. Alan, the owner, was the first person we met when we drove out to Alachua for an unscheduled, impromptu tour of Valley View. He very graciously and patiently showed us the property and explained everything in detail. Alan is the reason we booked our wedding there. They are the most genuine folks; VV is truly a family-owned and operated venue. And they make you feel like family. Being a destination wedding, we booked their inclusive "Destination Bride" package to take most of the planning burden off of us. They have 2 beautiful lodges on the property which we rented for our family/wedding party to stay for 2 nights. It was a comfortable stay and perfect for all of us. We had our rehearsal/welcome dinner on the VV veranda the night before the big day, and it was the perfect kick-off to our magical wedding weekend. Don't sleep on your opportunity to have your dream wedding at Valley View. They also own another venue about a mile down the road from Valley View (Santa Fe River Ranch) that is equally charming in its own rustic way! We had a difficult time choosing between these 2 venues. The vendors we worked with there were so talented and amazing: -Sam Ward (SGP/Sincerely Gone Photography) -DJ Mike Collins (MBC Entertainment); -Prange's Florist -Curl.wink.blush (Hair & Makeup) -Reel Insight Productions (videography) -Hills BBQ Catering (awesome!) -Susan Emerson (coordinator) We cannot stop gushing about our experience with Valley View. We are beyond grateful to them for making our special day feel so easy and stress-free. We were very impressed by their entire staff; they are a well-oiled machine --complete with discreet, earpiece walkie-talkies to communicate like the secret service is running your big event 😉 The venue also provides a bartender for you and YOU provide your own liquor/beer/wine for the wedding. This is the biggest cost savings!! Take a look at the venue pictures online; we chose to do our ceremony down on the the island, under the arbor. We were lucky; we had terrific weather. But you can also choose to get married under the veranda, overlooking the breathtaking valley below. We have a million memories from our wedding at Valley View that will last a lifetime. Run -- don't walk -- to book your wedding there! You will NOT be disappointed.

We were married at Valley View and had the BEST experience. Jennifer was our day-of coordinator and made sure everything went off without a hitch. She and Rachel made sure to coordinate with all our vendors, made sure we were sticking to our timeline, and eased any anxieties we had. We had the most fantastic wedding and we truly could not have pulled any of it off without her. I would recommend Valley View to any couple wanting to have a flawless wedding!

Valley View was a dream venue. They were there to help out at any moment and ensured we were on schedule the whole time. They made the day go by so smoothly and perfect. The venue itself has such a timeless look and so easy to create your dream wedding at Valley View. I highly recommend creating your dream wedding at Valley View <3

Where do I even begin? We chose Valley View almost two years ago. This Veterans Day was finally our big day. Hurricane Nicole came through on Thursday and luckily we were able to still get married in the island on Friday, 11/11/2022. The morning began with no power and tons of debris down. Jake was very attentive and provided back up generators so we could begin getting ready. Susan made sure the event was seamless from start to finish. Thank you so much to Valley View for making our special day perfect ❤️.

I can’t say enough good things. They errr so fast to reply to me during the whole planning process. They made my entire planning process and the day of so stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about a thing they knew exactly what they were doing when to do it, and how to do it even my photographer commented on how organized and attentive they were. I got so many compliments on the beautiful venue and the amazing staff.

Valley View was a fantastic venue. We booked in March 2020 and they were very gracious about our changes in wedding plans 3-4 times due to the pandemic. When our day finally came it went off without a hitch. As the bride, I was able to enjoy the day instead of planning details- something that was super important to me!- because of the day of coordinator. The venue gathered all our things at the end of the night and we were able to pick things up when we were ready. They were more than accommodating throughout the entire process. Besides the great customer service, the venue itself is beautiful and has a glamorous modern vibe vs being rustic (see their sister venue for something more rustic). The bridal suite is very large compared to other venues and comes included in the price. My girls were able to enjoy a full kitchen and many mirrors and rooms to get ready and relax in throughout the day. We received many compliments throughout the wedding about how beautiful the setting is. It feels like you are miles away in the country, but only 10 mins from Alachua and 25mins from Gainesville. I would recommend Valley View highly for your event!

Valley View was my beautiful fairytale wedding! All of my dreams came true with this venue. Every last detail was thought of and discussed with the owners and workers at the venue. Any questions I had were answered in a timely manner and they were very professional. On our wedding day, they catered to me and my bridal party to help us with anything needed at all. They even took a picture of the decor to ask me if that was my vision or not. They helped the day run smoothly by having a coordinator who I met with and planned every single detail. My guests are still coming up and telling me how beautiful the venue is months after the wedding and that is absolutely the truth! It is a hidden venue with lots of elegance for those girls not wanting the popular barn wedding. I could not have asked for a smoother day from the staff! I will cherish my wedding day forever.

Amazing! Fairy tale come true! Valley View is an amazing venue!! If you are looking for a fairy tale venue this is it!!!! My wedding was everything that I have ever dreamed of and more. This venue is tucked away on untainted rolling green acres. I would described it as a piece of heaven here on earth. Not only is he venue amazing, so is the staff. They worked with me on every minute detail of my wedding and ensured that everything happened according to my desires. There is absolutely not one thing that I would change or regret about this venue. If you have not secured your venue and you have not viewed Valley View please do so.

Valley View went above and beyond to make my wedding day special. They did an amazing job with all of the behind the scenes work to make my day completely stress free. Jake and Jen gave us recommendations throughout the planning process, that were incredibly helpful without ever making us feel like it was something we had to do. Their catering, DJ, florist, etc. suggestions were amazing and made my day perfect. The venue itself was stunning and perfect for the wedding I had always dreamed of having. Susan and Marsha were fantastic to work with prior to the wedding and on the day-of. The two of them made sure everything ran smoothly with no stress.

Valley View was the perfect venue for our black tie wedding. The views are just breathtaking. The building is stunning inside and out and the bridal suite is just amazing. All of our guests loved the venue as well. All of V.V. staff were extremely helpful, professional, and friendly throughout the process. We highly recommend Valley View!

The staff at Valley View worked hard to ensure our wedding day was exactly what we envisioned. Their vast experience was a valuable resource during the planning process. They offered valuable advice that helped to relieve stress and allowed our vision to come to life in a way that was both cost-effective and efficient. Throughout our wedding day they were professional, scheduled, and made sure to carve out time for just the groom and I to spend time together. Even though the day flew by, they gave us the opportunity to make the most of every second.
