Aaron did our wedding and he was great. Our needs were pretty ridiculous and went like this:…read more "Here's a list of all the songs that have to be played and yes, the total time is longer than the event. Also, our friends will bombard you with requests and they'll only get worse as the night goes on. Please accommodate what they want." He pulled it off! Plus he was super nice. For example, Aaron checked the total time of our playlist and planned ahead to cut some songs short so we could hear as many as possible. He was exactly what we wanted and we highly recommend him!

The drinking water at some of the MDOT rest areas can be a bit skanky, my dog won't drink it. I'm…read moresure it is well water, which I generally have not trouble with, but the northern MDOT rest stops water are bad. Even if you use the water fountains. Parking is usually plentiful, lots of space to get a meal outside of your vehicle (picnic), but be prepared for mosquitoes when it warms up in the summer. Bathrooms are usually clean and functional.

My husband and I were married here a week ago today, and it was truly a dream come true…read more My husband and I had decided on a small romantic wedding with only immediate family present and our two closest friends present. Christine was absolutely wonderful. She was patient and answered all of my questions, she made the whole process so much easier for us. The pictures do not do her home justice, and I loved that we were able to customize every detail about our ceremony. With the lighting and beautiful stained glass windows we got a lot of beautiful photos as well. It still almost seems unreal. If you are looking for an intimate wedding, and just want to keep it simple and classy, this is absolutely the place to go!

I never give a bad review but I feel the need to say something…read more My mother passed away at the end of January 2018 and I wanted to find a place for her Celebration of Life (she did not want a funeral). I was very upset and since I live in another state I was very stressed about securing a rental hall for June 2018. My mom was a hunter, a fisherman and loved the outdoors so I wanted something she would have wanted. I called the number for the Jackson County Outdoor Club hall rental. I got a voicemail that just told me the number I reached...no name was given. Not knowing for sure who this was, I left a message. Needless to say, I called several more times (without leaving a message) with no response. I then got a call from Rachel. She was very angry with me for calling so many times and informed me "she did have another job"! I told her how sorry I was and told her I had no idea because of her voicemail not giving any details. She then told me not to call again until after 5pm...but she would call me instead. Well, by 6:30pm she had not called me so I called her, again. Went right to voicemail, I left a brief message asking her to please call me back. She never did! Since then I found another place for my moms memorial. I believe that Rachel was very unprofessional and she should at least have a message that this number was her personal phone but she also works for Jackson County Outdoor Club, that she works another job and she will return your call after 5pm. I truly hope she does not treat everyone this way because if she does, it doesn't reflect well for the Jackson County Outdoor Club business!
