Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions. I would definitely recommend them!

I loved the Regency Venue for my wedding on Saturday, May 18th, 2024! I was initially attracted to the Regency because it was a beautiful blank space, and it allowed me to be more creative with my decorations! Ashley & Katelyn were wonderful to work with and responded to my questions quickly during the planning process! Ashley was my DOC, and she was amazing! My hostesses & decorator said she was very helpful with a lot of the wedding day details! I also loved that we got the space from 7:00am - 12:00am and some additional time after to clean up! We stored a lot of the decorations in the bridal suite until Sunday morning, which was nice because we didn't have to be comepletely out of the space on the nice of our wedding, letting us enjoy the night! It was also great working with Short Stop Custom Catering for the Food & Bar Service! Theresa was there to answer any of my questions during planning, and the tasting experience was so fun! Their tasting room is beautiful & I loved being able to try their food with my family! The catering team was incredible & so friendly! We had stuffed sirloin for our entree, and it was delicious! I got so many great reviews from my guest about the wonderful food, great staff, and exceptional bar service! They handled all the set up and tear down of the tables, chairs, and linens & the room flip from ceremony to reception which was a life saver! I cannot recommend the Regency Venue & Short Stop Custom Catering enough! :)

We got married 8/3 and i will say the Grands is truly a great place to have your wedding. They take so much stress and work off of wedding planning and make everything extremely easy. From our first meeting we knew we were going to get married here. They help with a lot of vendors such as DJ, Shuttle, candles for centerpieces and all decorations, Day of coordination, food, dessert, late night snacks, and so much more that I know I am missing! They break down the prices completely and we didn’t feel like anything extra was added to our final bill. Weeks before the wedding we met with Joe and Larry to help with the day of coordination and the entertainment piece of coordinating. This helped with giving the DJ an idea of what we wanted for our entertainment and helped our day flow so much easier. The day of our wedding could not have been more great. We got married on the lodge side and used the bridal suite to get ready. It truly is such a beautiful venue that needs little decorations. The staff and Joe were so helpful throughout the day and night to make the day go smoothly and kept open communication between my husband and I. We had DJ Alli and unfortunately it was her last wedding which I think was meant to be because she truly did such an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor and taking requests. Truthfully our wedding could not have been more perfect and we have no regrets choosing this venue

We absolutely would recommend The Jerome to anyone and everyone! The modern industrial setting was perfect for us and we especially loved the layout of the building. Having everything we needed in one space without worrying about transporting guests was perfect. Also, having a coordinator to work closely with was a life saver! Raleigh is great and the day truly would not have gone as smooth as it did without her. With a hotel and bar close by, preferred vendors listed, and an airbnb for us to stay in the night of, The Jerome checked all of our boxes and we are so glad we chose to have our wedding here!

My husband and I got married at the Northern Lights Ballroom & Catering venue and were thrilled with the experience from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was wonderful - the staff was responsive, friendly, and really made sure we knew what to expect at each step. On the big day, the ballroom looked absolutely beautiful. The decor was elegant yet understated, perfectly enhancing the venue's natural charm. And the food was fantastic - all of our guests raved about the amazing dinner and desserts the catering team prepared. Everyone we interacted with was so nice, patient, and seemed genuinely invested in making our wedding day perfect.
