“I cannot rave enough about Carper Winery! The services Tracy and her staff provided resulted in a smooth and successful wedding day. We received professional, prompt, and courteous services throughout the whole process. Bartender staff was top notch! We had both our wedding and reception in the winery. The transition between the two events was seamless and easy. Tracy showed her experience by suggesting a fitting table set up, and offered help with choosing beer/wine/hosted drinks. On the day of, she had the winery open on time, perfectly clean and ready to go for us to decorate. The bridal and groom suites were an extremely convenient add in. It made the morning a little less chaotic! She also recommended several outside services who we were able to connect with to complete our day and have a beautiful wedding! Thank you so much Carper Winery!”

“We loved having our wedding at Pilgrim Heights Camp & Retreat Center! Mckenzie and the staff were so friendly, quick to respond to any questions, and truly seemed happy to host our special day. The camp was beautifully maintained with tidy cabins and gorgeous natural surroundings that perfectly fit our outdoorsy vibe. Mckenzie went above and beyond to ensure the venue accommodated my grandpa's wheelchair, exemplifying the caring spirit of Pilgrim Heights. From the planning process to the big day itself, they contributed so much warmth while also handling logistics smoothly. We highly recommend Pilgrim Heights for their beautiful, nature-filled venue and outstanding service - especially shout out to Mckenzie Hinegardner for putting such care into coordinating everything!”
