We recently celebrated our wedding at Basil Place, and it was nothing short of magical! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, with the stunning pond and foliage and elegant indoor spaces that created the perfect ambiance for our special day. What truly made Basil Place wonderful was the owner, Michelle. She was always there to answer questions and provide recommendations for other vendors. Her warmth and generosity made us feel special. Thanks to Michelle and the beautiful setting of Basil Place, our wedding was a dream come true. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location and outstanding service!

first off, I want to say the team at Sun Valley is amazing. They were always so fast to answer all of my questions (and trust me I had plenty). They are kind, fun, and passionate about what they do. The grounds are beautiful. Every single person I encountered through Sun Valley was so kind, making sure everything was perfect and seeing if there was absolutely anything we needed/if there was anything they could do to make the whole experience better. Once it all came together, it couldn’t have been a more beautiful venue. The ponds are stunning and being able to have the ceremony there was absolutely amazing. The inside is so spacious and even with everyone in the building, it never felt crowded or “full”, but it also didn’t look empty. The tile wall behind where the head table goes is stunning. It comes out so well in pictures. Some of the decor didn’t go with our style and they were totally okay with us putting anything that didn’t go in the storage room for the night. I received so many compliments on how it is the most beautiful venue they’ve ever seen. Things I’d like to mention is: there are bed and breakfasts kind of close by, but only hold ?60 people. The closest hotel is a Marriott and it’s 20 minutes away and they only have 1 shuttle that holds 11 people. There isn’t great service out there so Ubers weren’t super easy to get so we rented shuttles. All worked out totally fine, but just something to keep in mind. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Sun Valley: the look of the ceremony/cocktail hour and reception, the people (literally everyone that works there: AMAZING), the catering options (we chose A Taste of Excellence which we also HIGHLY recommend because wow), the whole experience. I am so beyond thrilled and couldn’t imagine my day anywhere else. I am so thankful for everyone there and had so much fun with them, they were some of my favorite people there. but seriously, I am so happy with my choice of Sun Valley and highly highly recommend!!!! Thank you Sun Valley for making our day so special

The twinkling lights, music, and dancing beckons you towards a tiki bar where a bartender is serving up fizzy drinks and fun cocktails. You stop. You soak in this moment. You smile as you run towards the dance floor and realize: this is my wedding day.

The Kingsville Lodge was such a wonderful, intimate ceremony space. It feels almost secluded- it’s romantic and woodsy and will make for such a beautiful ceremony spot for your wedding day. I highly recommend this if you’re not having lots of guests and want something a little more lowkey but still very pretty!

Amazing services!!! Alyssa and her team were amazing! They made sure my day went off without a hitch! She kept me up to speed on everything we still needed and made sure I had all my questions answered. The food was amazing and my guests cannot stop talking about how delicious everything was. The view was amazing and everything was kept so clean and organized. They have weddings down to a science at this point. Could not have asked for a better venue, caterer or coordinator.
