Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I booked this venue for our wedding, the property was still under construction and existed only as a vision brought to life through renderings. Looking back, I’m so grateful we trusted that vision because we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect location! This venue offers a timeless, romantic setting that truly enhances the vision for your wedding day. Its design, private location, and intimate layout made it the ideal spot for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. What truly set it apart, though, was the incredible team at Lumen House. Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we first toured the property to the final moments of our wedding day, it felt like they were genuinely rooting for us, and they treated us like family. If you’re considering a venue, book with Lumen House—you won’t regret it!
