Unfortunately, as the parents who paid for the wedding, we were left feeling disappointed with how the day was managed and how little our family's wishes seemed to matter. Throughout the planning process, whenever we shared ideas or suggestions, they were often dismissed. The wedding planner frequently reminded us of her "35 years of experience," which made us feel that our opinions and vision for the wedding were not valued. We expected professional guidance, but we also expected a collaborative approach that respected what the bride, groom, and family wanted for such an important occasion. On the wedding day, everything felt rushed. A large amount of time was dedicated to the bride and groom eating, yet when we looked over, they were often simply sitting and watching everyone else. They could have been mingling with guests and enjoying time with family and friends, but the coordinator even told them she would let them know when they could get up. It felt unnecessarily restrictive during a celebration that should have been centered around them. There were also changes to the reception that differed from what we had been told to expect. We were informed that speeches would be limited to the parents of the bride and groom, the best man, and the maid of honor. Instead, all of the groomsmen were allowed to speak, taking additional time from other events. The father-daughter dance was faded out early and quickly transitioned into the mother-daughter dance, which was also cut short. The dancing portion of the reception lasted only about an hour before the evening was winding down. After all the time, effort, and money invested in planning this wedding, it was disappointing to see so many meaningful moments rushed through. While the venue itself is beautiful, we left feeling that the day was managed according to the coordinator's preferences rather than the wishes of the couple and family. This was especially concerning given that the coordinator is also the venue owner and the photographer is her daughter. After making a significant financial investment and spending months preparing for this special occasion, the overall experience fell far short of what we were promised and hoped for. Many important moments felt rushed, decisions were made without consulting us, and we were left feeling that our concerns and vision for the wedding were secondary. Even now, we are still waiting for the photos that were promised within eight weeks.

I attended Mont Lamm for one of their hosted Farm to Table events. I have never ever been to an…read moreevent like this before and I must say it was incredible for my first time. The theme for this Farm to Table Event was surf and turk, and there was a seed swap. HOW COOL IS A SEED SWAP! I brought wildflower seeds from the gorge and was pretty darn proud of myself. Let's talk first about the venue. Mont Lamm is an absolutely gorgeous property in the outskirts with amazing farm land and incredible views of the countryside. I dressed up, brought my bottle of wine and a bunch of lilies and truly experience a night out on a Sunday. The grounds are perfectly landscaped and glorious and there is a wood gazebo with intricate details. Then you go inside the barn....and the entire place is lit up with lights. My face was shocked wide eyed and mesmerized by the amount of lighting in this place. Absolutely stunning! Everyone sat in farm style seating and I had met some great people in the seats next to me. We started our evening with a Bees Knees cocktail that I slurped down and was so tasty I wanted another immediately. Shannon then introduced Chef LJ and the story behind farm to table and why they put on the events. Using local farms (and seafood from the nearest freshest place I'm sure) and come up with intricate dishes that compliment each other, for - Four. Solid. Courses. Courses ranged from Salmon on a Rosemary Shortbread, to Sous Vide Steak, Oysters, a delicious Crab dish, and the best tasting dessert with chocolate, cream, and amazingness all in one little dish. Each course paired with an alcoholic beverage and that was fancy as all hell there. What I also enjoyed was the program. Each course was introduced by the chef and in between there was live music by an amazing musician, vendors that spoke about their distillery and herbs, stories about farming, and then the hosts sang and it brought me to tears. UGH. I am so in love with our community and it's vibrancy and am so proud to have been a part of such an amazing event. The next one is in June and I cannot wait.

We just had our daughter's wedding here last weekend and it was an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL experience from start to finish. The owners, Sandra and Douglas, are AMAZING people to work with!! We hired Sandra as the wedding coordinator and she knows her stuff!! She is very easy to work with and extremely helpful in the planning process. She helped us with things we would have never thought of. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The views are gorgeous! The vendors she works with were great as well. I really can't say enough good things about the Lavender Manor!! If you have a special occasion to celebrate, please go to the Lavender Manor! Thank you, Sandra and Douglas, for helping create a very special and memorable day for my daughter and her husband and all of our guests!!

The landscape was very nice with lavender bushes all around. They have a gorgeous barn where the bridesmaids all got ready, and then a little shed for the groomsmen. After the ceremony they opened the barn up, and while it was a small layout, it was amazing to have a spot to escape the sun. The dance floor was perfectly lit and could not have been a better sized! There's nothing worse than too small of a dance floor so no one can fit, or to big of one to make it feel like it's empty. And the staff!!!! Professional/ friendly. While I could tell they worked there, they merged with the guests to blend in. I would absolutely recommend this venue

I predict this will become the new trendy wedding venue for people looking for an off the beaten path locale. The Lodge is located on Liberty Lake.

We all want our children to have a lifetime memory, yet not have to take out a second mortgage out to make it happen. The rates were more than fair, and you get some very important amenities needed for a lovely event. My niece had her wedding here, and it was just as perfect as she hoped it would be. Bar area, a sequestered room for bride and bridesmaids, plenty of bathroom facilities, stage, lights, great sound system, ADA friendly, and even some leisure games in a back corner to occupy the young ones who always get bored with adult functions.You also get the owner. He's a good young dude, is all over the place taking care of things, and is genuinely proud of what he is bringing to the community. And, any little hiccup that might occur is quickly taken care of because....he's there. Our whole family was very impressed with him. Here is an option that I can heartily recommend for working families. Consider the MEC when you are planning your event and being budget conscious...

They did a phenomenal job!!…read more Throughout the planning, Leslie was quick to respond to me and assist me any way she could (which was especially important since I do not live in Spokane and planning was more of a challenge with you're 2 hours away). She was so very organized and great to work with! She's very friendly, funny, and outgoing! She takes great pride in her work and goes the distance to make sure you're happy! She took charge of the event and reassured me she'd take care of everything. She directed everyone on when they should walk down the aisle and with whom they should walk. She set everything up (cake, guest book, chairs, tables, etc.). She even had someone available to run the iPod during the ceremony (sound system complements of YouDoDJ). Everything was perfect. Speaking of perfect, the food was AMAZING! I'm still hearing about how wonderful the food was. We had Pork Tenderloin with a Huckleberry Demi Glace, Italian Chicken Roulade, Roasted Red Potatoes, their Signature Salad (with cranberries and the most delicious candied walnuts), fruit, sourdough bread, and lemonade and coffee to drink (to accompany Arbor Crest's wine). Everything was great. It was one of the best meals I've eaten, and I'm picky! People were saying it was the best wedding food EVER! Service was friendly and attentive. They came around to refill drinks. They even wrapped up leftovers for us to take home. All the staff was very kind and professional. Price was competitive and reasonable! If you need any event catered, I would recommend Catered For You. I have no complaints whatsoever!
