Zion Springs

throughout the night. We attended a wedding during a heated time in US politics that had to do with mask wearing and covid. Most of the event attendees all came from Washington DC and had similar jobs and lifestyle. The owner of the establishment would repeatedly ask us to take off our masks, " to live a little" and " loosen up". It was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. As the night progressed, he kept drinking while being the DJ! The phrases and heckling did not stop. It was cringeworthy. I would have planned my wedding at this venue if the situation wasn't so negative. I'm happy to see that there are numerous positive experiences at this venue, and I hope no one else has a bad one like we experienced.

I am so thankful I did!! They were so easy to work with and so fun! I probably was not the best bride in the sense that I was a bit too nonchalant but they somehow understood what I wanted and brought it to life! I would not change a single thing. Nothing, not even a teeny tiny detail. Laura was a fantastic coordinator and helped with my dress and veil. She was so great and very responsive leading up to the big day. Zion Springs is so convenient in that they literally have everything you need and want for your special day. We did the adventure elopement package and it was EXACTLY what we wanted. They even provided the officiant. Donna, our officiant was fantastic and so incredibly sweet. Doug our photographer, I mean where do I begin. He was phenomenal. He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. He was mindful of making sure of getting all the little details and candids to really capture our day. We do not take a lot of pictures so it definitely was out of our comfort zone, but Doug seriously made us feel like it was just an old friend shooting some pictures. Doug even was thoughtful enough to grab a sweet memento from our little walk and we are definitely putting it on our mantel. He really thought of every detail. Our day was completely stress free and we truly have the people from Zion Springs (Laura, Doug, Donna) to thank for that. I never imagined my wedding day being so easy and actually so much fun. Honestly they are the absolute best and if you’re looking for a venue that will truly work with you and bring your vision to life, look no further. Thank you Zion Springs!!!!

ally during a pandemic so, we decided on eloping. I was really worried that I was going to regret not including my family or having a big wedding, but after our adventure elopement at Zion springs, all those feelings went away! I don’t regret a thing. Everyone there is absolutely amazing, they put us at ease and treated us so well. The entire day was so perfect. My husband and I had so much fun. Laura and Doug took us on the adventure we dreamed of and we had the greatest ceremony and got some of the most breathtaking pictures (they honestly recreated my Pinterest board). Then after our adventure, the chef provided us with a top-notch picnic along with a cake and then an unforgettable dinner (all with making everything allergy safe since I have several food allergies!). They had everything covered from the coordinator and photographer, my gorgeous bouquet, the food/drinks, and the officiant. They took all the stress out of the wedding process and provided us with the ability to truly enjoy each other and celebrate our marriage on our special day. Everything was so handled so perfectly. We would do it again a thousand times!

wed us to enjoy and completely customize the experience. When COVID hit, Jon and his staff at Zion Springs quickly adapted. We had spent 18 months planning one wedding, only to cancel and plan an entirely new wedding 3 weeks out from our date. Even with all the stress that came with throwing a large event in the middle of the pandemic, Zion Springs did everything humanely possible to make sure our day was still special. What they created for us (and in such a short time/so much uncertainty) was truly breathtaking. Our wedding day turned out even better than we could even dream. Our 50 social distancing wedding guests all felt safe and truly enjoyed the experience. What sets Zion Springs apart (besides the beautiful venue) is their amazing in-house staff. Their event coordinator Lisa will make sure EVERYTHING about your day is exactly how you want. Doug the photographer is truly such a kind and talented human. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos/video, they were all amazing. Sophia (one of their florists) was one of the best I have ever seen. I came to her with an insane flower vision and she made it the best part of the wedding (photos are on their facebook page). Everyone there makes you and your guest feel like family the entire time. When one of the bridesmaids had a hair emergency right before the ceremony, Lisa (who used to be a hairdresser) completely redid her hair in a moments notice and save the day. I am completely grateful for everything Zion Springs did for us. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

highly recommend you consider Zion Springs for your wedding or rehearsal dinner.

d the entire Zion Springs staff created a weekend that far exceed all those dreams I had as a little girl. We went with the all inclusive package and it was a great decision for us. A wedding planner, THE wedding planner, was included. Elise was the best gift a bride could ask for; she brought all the ideas, laughs and non of the stress. Elise met with us several times and walked me through all the wedding tasks to ensure we had a prefect weekend. She was by our side through the entire weekend and I never had to answer a question because Elise had it all taken care of. The catering crew was beyond top notch. We had phenomenal food and beverages all weekend long. You have to ask for the Short Ribs! The servers and bartenders made our guests feel like they were at a 5 star restaurant and took care of everything. The photographer, Doug, is so great. He provides such a warm spirit and has an incredibly East going personality. Our photos captures all of the amazing moments we had hoped for and has helped us encapsulate memories we can look back in for a lifetime. Our goal was to have family and friends walk away with the best time. We still get feedback from our guests about how amazing it was because of the venue, music, food and overall ambiance. A year later, my husband and I still talk about what an amazing time we had and how we’d give anything to go back and live that memory all over again! If you’re looking for a wedding venue that will give you upscale service, an amazing venue with indoor and outdoor options, and a country, charming, and unforgettable experience, then you have to give Zion Springs a look! It was my first choice, my only choice, and a year later I still know it was the best choice!

could offer. With all the other details that go into planning a wedding, having everything in one place (rehearsal dinner, getting ready for both bride and groom, ceremony, reception, after party, brunch the next day, the list goes on) was amazing. Our entire bridal party was able to stay on site for the whole weekend. Jon, Daniel, and the whole team were amazing and incredibly organized from start to finish. The food the entire weekend was great. The barn and areas around it are beautiful and we had a ton of options for taking pictures. The whole weekend was perfect but some highlights were: - having all our guests come Friday night to socialize (great way to talk to more guests since the actual wedding will fly by - the pizza! - all the amazing staff that took care of us all weekend.

acility for the first time, I left there trying to convince myself that any other place would work just a fine for the day of my dreams, but I soon would realize that nothing else I visited would even come close. When Zion Springs presented my husband and I with the chance to get married this December, at a promotional price, it was an offer we couldn't refuse. My nerves immediately went into overdrive, wondering how I could plan a wedding in less than 3 months. But it happened. And it was perfect. Everyone was outstanding, from my amazing event director, Lisa, my phenomenal services director, Daniel, my talented photographer, Doug, and the owner, Jon and his beautiful family, they all did everything they could to make the day a dream come true. The weather ended up perfect, which was also a significant plus for a December (outdoor) wedding! The hospitality was warming, the decorations beautiful, the food delicious, and the music POPPIN'. Zion Springs does it all but the wedding dress, and I would do it all over again if I could!

my sister in law at Zion Springs and it was such a memorable weekend. The staff was attentive and friendly, the food was delicious and the views don't get any better. I would plan my own wedding at Zion Springs in a heartbeat!

’t stop talking about our wedding! I knew I wanted to get married at ZS the moment I saw it! Thank you for accommodating the campers, looking out for us with the photography, welcoming us into your home... the list goes on! Elise, you’re the best! Daniel, you’re the man! Anna, keep it up! Jon and Chris, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This place isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every cent. I’d do it again and again. If you’re not getting married here, you’re not doing it right!

nues on our short list, but the other spots, while beautiful, just didn't match what ZIon Springs could offer us. Working with Elise (our wedding coordinator) was great - she nailed it (as I told her the day of). She worked with us on our design plan and really understand what we wanted and what our vision was. The stone patio and the barn looked absolutely amazing! And of course working with Jon on the overall weekend and Daniel on the food was great. The food was SO good! I've been to weddings... and typically you are served dry beef and/or rubbery chicken. The food at ZS was delicious and our guests still compliment us about it! Kudos to the chef! The dream dinner and fall BBQ were really nice as they gave us a chance to sample the menu options and choose our wedding menu (it was a tough choice because everything we ate was delicious). The ability to bring our own alcohol (without a corkage fee) was also really helpful - I'm sure we saved a LOT of money working directly with Total Wine. Another thing that we really loved about ZS was the B&B and the barn rooms - we were able to have our immediate families and members of the bridal party stay with us on site - so it was so much more than just a wedding reception... it was a weekend long celebration. Starting with the welcome on Friday afternoon, continuing through the rehearsal, and a group breakfast Saturday morning - it gave us time to really catch up with our families (who live all over the country) and gave our families a chance to get to know each other. It may sound contrite, but the wedding was PERFECT. Everything I wanted. The venue is beautiful, the food was delicious, the reception was a blast (dancing all night long), followed by the fireside drinks and being able to catch up with friends and family before they left for the evening... I didn't want the night to end and I know our guests felt the same way. We still get compliments on what a great wedding it was (on so many details: the beautiful patio, the delicious food, the picture slide show to close the reception)... and it makes me smile because it was everything I ever hoped for.

ues in the state of Virginia, they chose Zion Springs for many reasons, one of which was the option to have their family and friends on site for the entire weekend. Several family members stayed in the bed-and-breakfast and many of the bridesmaids, groomsmen and friends stayed in rooms in the barn. Our hosts, Chris and Jon, were the best! They were friendly, flexible and so accommodating! We enjoyed delicious breakfasts and lunch, and snacks were always available too. The ceremony was beautiful on the terrace and the reception in the barn was wonderful! All of the spaces available to us were beautiful and inviting, including the firepit areas, the outdoor patio tables and rocking chairs, the porch at the bed-and-breakfast and the areas for the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour after the ceremony, game-playing and picture-taking. I cannot say enough about this venue. We loved it and I can honestly say that my daughter’s wedding was one of the best and most fun days of my life and Zion Springs was a large part of making that happen!

ct. Jon Tigges and his entire family and everyone at Zion Springs delayed the start of their winter holiday to celebrate with us and make one of the most important events of our lives easily the most memorable one. Now, I’m clearly biased. I think it was the greatest and most beautiful wedding to which I’ve ever been, in no small part due to the tireless and infinitely, impossibly, gracious hosting done by every member of Zion Springs. Sure, it was our wedding. Of course we thought it was beautiful. But almost every guest there independently told us so as well. Just another day for Jon, Elise, Daniel, Chris and the whole crew. That’s not to say that they were not on point, they were. They covered every detail imaginable, and they did so with casual confidence, a graceful ease that comes with successfully delivering on dreams hundreds of times. Yet they did so with a focus and presence in the moment that honored the preciousness of our event in a way that we didn’t even realize we wanted. To say that we were incredibly happy with the entire experience, is to put it mildly. Words fall short. We are forever grateful, and highly recommend visiting this majestic place as soon as you possibly can. Ask for muffins.

ue, they help with planning almost every single aspect of your big day (or weekend in our case!) and they truly bring your dreams to life. Our wedding day went smoothly and everything was absolutely perfect! Would not change a thing if I was able to do it all over again!

al. Our friends and family are still raving about how beautiful, FUN and delicious our wedding was! From the start, we got such a great vibe working with Jon and his family. Even the staff that is not actually family, is certainly treated like family – and they also made us feel like family while we were there. The entire team puts you at ease and makes the whole process of wedding planning a breeze. We worked extremely close with our remarkable and competent wedding planner, Elise, who managed to pull together exactly what we wanted, within our budget. We got married on 5/5/17 (Cinco de Mayo) and Zion really helped us to incorporate fun, yet very tasteful details into our special day. We had a happy hour before the ceremony serving margaritas and sangria and light food on the patio. It was a great way to set the mood for the rest of the evening, and allowed guests to greet each other and mingle. We had a photo booth with Cinco de Mayo-themed props. Anna even made churros from scratch to go along with our donut and ice-cream bar for dessert. They were beyond amazing and added an unexpected twist to the end of the night. I can’t mention the desserts without talking about the incredible meal Anna and team put together. So many guests said it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had. One of the greatest perks at Zion is hosting an entire wedding weekend for your close friends and family who are lucky enough to stay on-site. We have so many wonderful memories from our rehearsal and day-of festivities. It was really special having everyone together for an extended period of time. The grounds, guest rooms, patios (with fire pits) and communal spaces were perfectly designed to host such events and it shows. I cannot recommend Zion Springs highly enough, I keep hoping we’ll get invited to another wedding there so we can experience it all over again.

s needs. The vibe of whole venue and bread and breakfast barn was so warm and cozy. My boyfriend will deffinately be doing a bread and breakfast stay for our anniversary this spring and we are possibly thinking about zion springs even being an option for our future wedding!!

l and the food was amazing. I really don't have anything negative to say about Zion Springs. Just a wonderful place for a wedding or any event you would want to have. I highly recommend them.

so much more! Jon, Chris, Daniel, Cara, and everyone else who had a hand in our perfect weekend - you are AMAZING! Having Cara (our event coordinator) was absolutely life-changing! Anything we asked, it was handled. Especially on the day of, she was on top of absolutely everything, down to keep a beer in our hands at all times during the reception! She and the rest of the team at Zion were there with us planning every step along the way. They kept us organized and made sure we were completely set up to have the greatest wedding ever! The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL and made for some amazing pictures! Everyone who came to the wedding kept telling us how much they loved the venue (and the food)! Absolutely nothing went wrong during our entire weekend, and we owe it all to this amazing place. If we could do it all over again, we would! Book your wedding here - you won’t regret it!

ollows you around. We also used them for our catering and it was fantastic! I would recommend them to anyone!
