The Inns of Aurora Resort & Spa provided exceptional service and attention to detail, making our wedding day special. From the moment we first reached out, their team was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and proactively addressed any questions or concerns we had. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond - arranging for transportation from the church to the venue when our bus didn't show up and ensuring that every little detail was taken care of exactly how we wanted it. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but the true standout was the quality of the Inn's team and their commitment to making our day perfect. Their work is best-in-class, resulting in a timeless, unforgettable celebration. I couldn't recommend the Inns of Aurora more highly.

Laura has been a dream to work with. She is quick in her responses and has eased my worried-bride mind countless times. Covid struck the wedding business so hard but she has operated with grace throughout the whole process. The barn is gorgeous and we love that our wedding is in the town we met and went to college in. I would highly recommend Dutch Harvest Farm to anyone looking for an easy, professional, and picture perfect wedding experience.

We got married at New Park about 4 months ago, and it was absolutely magical! The scenery was breathtaking—exactly what I envisioned for my “backyard, but not a backyard” wedding. Multiple guests even said it was the favorite wedding they’d ever attended! There was plenty of space to dance, but guests also had so many other fun options like cornhole, ping pong, and relaxing by the fire. The venue is truly unique, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. Huge thanks to Sara and the entire New Park team for making our day unforgettable!

Greek Peak Mountain Resort (The Lookout) was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. The staff was incredibly organized, thorough, and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process. They offered to handle almost everything for us, from providing their own decor to setting up items we brought in. On the day of the wedding, the staff was amazing - they constantly checked in to ensure we had everything we needed and even cleaned up and organized our belongings for us to take home the next day.

When looking for a venue, we did not a barn. Then we stumbled upon the Heritage barn and met the Dunham family and instantly knew this is where we wanted to have our wedding. It truly was the best weekend of our lives and we had so much fun! Every single detail was exactly how we wanted it thanks to Allie and Ken and the rest of the crew. They worked with our vendors to make sure our day was perfect. If we could host another event there we totally would. We booked the venue for the entire weekend so we were able to stay on property Friday and Saturday night with all of our best friends. My husband and I had the honeymoon cottage for the night of our wedding and it was so cute! Best weekend ever.

Aside from the beauty of the lake and the hotel, this place did it all for us. Any extra things we wanted for the wedding or reception just needed to be dropped off and the event coordinators took care of the rest. The coordinator we met with was great with communication through email. We really enjoyed our dinner tasting - the food was amazing! The coordinators made the day run so smoothly. The room for the cocktail hour was set up wonderfully. Table settings are included with the package and the candles looked perfect. We felt secure in knowing we could easily move the ceremony inside with any weather concerns. The landscaping/greenery is so well taken care of, it looked fantastic for our ceremony outside on the patio. The hotel staff set up, serve, and clean up - it made for a very relaxing weekend. Our hotel room was incredible also. The hotel was generous with leaving little surprises and gifts for us when we arrived to our room. It was all worth the price.
