My husband I got married at Sun Valley on 10/14/22, and I would highly, highly recommend this venue!! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the inside was clean and spacious, and all of their staff is wonderful! I felt like everyone I interacted with during the planning process as well as the rehearsal and day of truly cared about making our day perfect. We received many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful the venue is both inside and outside. I worked with Jennifer throughout the planning process, and she was not only so incredibly sweet and helpful, but she was also super quick at responding to emails and any questions I had whether big or small. Halle and Kendall were both SO sweet and helpful, and the bartender, Bobby (who I believe works for the venue) was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely recommend Sun Valley to any couple looking for a beautiful venue, especially if they want an outdoor ceremony in the fall! Thank you to everyone at Sun Valley for making our wedding day so special and for truly caring about your couples!

I got married at the Kingsville Lodge on March 8th of this year, and it was truly a beautiful experience. The lodge itself is stunning and immaculate, with everything you could possibly need right at your fingertips. Sharyn, the owner, goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is nothing short of amazing. She even handled my photography! The landscaping is meticulously maintained, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into the upkeep of the property. We chose a wedding package that was perfect for my husband and me, which included photography, planning, decorations, setup, breakdown, and cleaning. Sharyn and Beth were incredible, going the extra mile to make sure my day was magical. I felt like a fairytale bride and didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was the perfect venue for our wedding, with 40 guests who all found it equally beautiful. The lodge offers multiple rooms that can accommodate up to 15 people overnight. The beds are incredibly comfortable, providing one of the best nights of sleep I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is relaxing, comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with everything you might need. Our ceremony took place in front of the fireplace, which was breathtakingly beautiful in its simplicity. I highly recommend the Kingsville Lodge for weddings or any event. The property and house are well cared for, and Sharyn and her team are wonderful people. We also had our engagement photos taken there, and they turned out amazing. Inside, the lodge features beautiful wood trim throughout. The bathrooms are accommodating, with jacuzzi tubs in some rooms and multiple other bathrooms available. My 82-year-old mother loved it and found it easy to navigate. My husband and I stayed in the suite, watching the snowfall outside the windows, which was incredibly beautiful. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend this place for so many reasons.
