My husband and I had an overall amazing experience working with The Elm Estate for our wedding in November Our wedding coordinators Emma and Tania and they went above and beyond. They helped with literally everything. Tania was so committed to making our day exactly what we wanted and she was there the day of the wedding. I saw in another review that someone was unable to be at the venue until 2pm the day of their wedding- we were able to be there as early as 12pm. If I had one complaint it is that as well. I think for the price and overall wedding experience that you should have access to the property starting in the morning the day of your wedding. However, they do work with you in what they can offer for the day and it doesn't change the fact that The Elm Estate is so beautiful that you truly hardly have to decorate, the staff truly works with you to get exactly what you're asking for. Oh and the bartenders were just amazing. Our wedding was everything we wanted because of this venue!

Mountain Shadows Retreat (The Anti-Venue) has been an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, their team was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to talk to. Unlike any other venue I've been to, the Mountain Shadows team went above and beyond to ensure our special day will be perfect. We get married in 2025 and they are very flexible with us visiting the venue beforehand to ensure we were ready to go by wedding day. The team is a true pleasure to work with, and we can't wait to celebrate our marriage at this one-of-a-kind venue next year. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a unique and personalized wedding experience!
