I’m a recent bride who got married in May 2024. I cannot say enough great things about this venue! Desta and her husband (the owners) do a fantastic job keeping the property immaculate and beautiful and I love their can-do/relaxed attitude! My guests kept talking about how beautiful it was and the weather was amazing on our day! If you want the mountain/outdoor feel, this is the place for you! You will not regret it!

The venue was transformed with a captivating ambiance that perfectly captured the festive spirit. The team at Raulston Wood and Gardens proved to be an absolute pleasure to work with. Their staff were consistently wonderful, offering invaluable help and prompt responses to all our needs. They ensured that every aspect of our party ran smoothly, providing all the necessary facilities and amenities without a hitch.

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding. All of the designs we picked came to life beautifully on the day of. The food and cake were absolutely to die for and we received so many compliments from our guests about this as well. We absolutely loved Michael in the design studio as well as Abby our day of coordinator. My only grievance and reason for not giving 5 stars is the communication during and after the planning and wedding day. We had to ask for things to be updated and fixed multiple times before things would be addressed which was a bit frustrating. One thing that really upset me was the fact that I had to correct the company at least 4 times in the months before the wedding that the bout count for the boys was wrong in the contract and was ensured it would be fixed. Eventually the count was fixed on the contract but come wedding day they were short 2 bouts and when I brought it up to the planner she was seemed quite unapologetic and in a rush to do other things. My photographer ended up making some with the leftover babies breath from my girls hair. This company will produce a beautiful wedding with all of the bells and whistles but can work on their communication with the bride and other family members, we are paying quite a bit of money after all. Check check and check your contract and you will have smooth sailing! Would recommend this venue

Let me just start by saying: HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE. You will not regret it. Period. Sherill and Susie have a carefully thought-out process and it works like a well-oiled machine. You always have a line of communication for any questions (I asked TONS and never felt like a bother); you have sheets to fill out to prepare you for each step of the planning process. There are two official planning meetings, the first one is around 2-3 hours (really depends on how much you have/haven't set in stone) and the second is a 30-minute-ish phone call to narrow down any final details. Sherill guides you through one step at a time while Susie takes notes to ensure your vision comes true. And the most important part: wedding day. Every single detail was taken care of on wedding day; I literally didn’t have to worry about anything but drinking water, smiling, and trying not to slouch (lol) Skye was our coordinator, and she is phenomenal. She was so kind, approachable, and detailed. Florals and DJ were awesome. Dinner was hot and yummy. Cake was delicious and exactly what we wanted. Bartender was so friendly. The packages at the Chapel are an amazing value and the prices are exactly as they say. We chose the exceptional package and had the most magical day. I would redo our wedding here a million times before I even thought about going elsewhere. An all-inclusive venue is the best choice you can make. We are SO glad we chose Wedding Chapel on the Mountain. We will be forever grateful to Sherill, Susie, Skye, and every other professional at the Chapel who had an impact on our wedding!!!
