Our recent wedding at Camp Cody was amazing. We had all our guests stay in onsite cabins Fri & Sat night, and it was an absolute blast. There was sports, boating, bonfires, music, ...and a canoe full of beers all weekend long. I loved having all my family in friends in one place for the entire weekend, as it allowed me to get in a lot of quality time with everyone. Plus, how many brides can say they played a pickup softball game on the morning of their wedding? Our ceremony was gorgeous, overlooking the lake and mountains.
The staff onsite was great, and got everything done behind the scenes with minimal instruction. It is clear they are pros at holding large events, and they really made sure everything was stress-free. The venue is also very relaxed and flexible about any activities you may want to plan (for example, we had large speakers and an outdoor karaoke machine set up late at night with no issue).
The food was a huge hit, and exceeded everyone’s expectations. Everything was delicious and plentiful, and they really take the food seriously (meat smoker for tacos, omelet stations at brunch, and a pizza oven for late night food, for example).
A couple of small caveats - our weather was absolutely perfect. While the venue does have indoor areas, having sunshine definitely made the weekend come together as we envisioned, so the weather factor is a bit of a risk. Also, it will take a little more organization than your normal wedding as you will be in charge of cabin assignments and payments for your guests. If you are not typically very organized, it is something to prepare for.
Overall, we had an incredible weekend, and our guests did too. Many of them said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and are looking for excuses to plan another event there!
