Awarded Best of Zola
The Log Cabin was the perfect venue for our fall wedding. From the start, Amanda’s communication was professional and organized, helping us stay on top of every detail leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, my day-of coordinator Kelly was incredible - her attention to detail and smooth operation ensured the whole event ran flawlessly. The venue itself was beautiful, with the perfect amount of space for our celebration. The excellent service and professionalism of the entire Log Cabin team truly made our special day everything we had hoped for.
