Had our wedding here this past weekend and for any couples considering it, all I can say is...Do it! Terrain was absolutely the right decision and we can't imagine having done our wedding anywhere else. The staff is attentive, organized, detailed and kind. The food and beverage offerings were incredible. The team at Terrain made our vision come true and we have heard from so many guests that they had a spectacular time. The best compliment was from my father-in-law who said that the wedding seemed like it cost 2-3xs what we spent just because of how beautifully everything was put together.
