Awarded Best of Zola
Storm King Mountain Ranch was a beautiful and spacious venue that provided an open and commodious space for our wedding day. While their communication was a bit prolonged and delayed at times, their presence on the day was extremely accommodating. The set-up was perfect, and the bridal suite was an excellent space for getting ready - plenty of room, lots of outlets, and a private bathroom. Overall, we were very pleased with the value and quality of Storm King Mountain Ranch, and would highly recommend it to future couples looking for an open and airy wedding venue.
