We worked with Edna and at first it was fine but then over time she became harder to work with, she was disrespectful, rude, and at times talks bad about people who she promotes. The floors were a lovely wood and looked nice and they told us they were redoing the area, and she said to us that it would be new floors and center piece designs along with the bar being put in a different corner when we came to check in a couple Months later the floors were tile and uneven and they didn't look great at all. She was rude to the grooms mother when she was trying to plan everything. If I could go back I would have chosen a different place.

I didn't even bother to ask my Spanish speaking BF to translate it for me, thinking all I needed to know was the date, time, and location. Secondly, I have never been to a 2 in 1, wedding and reception all at the same location, so I really thought this one would be just like any other receptions I have been to. I'm so glad I went and had the honor of being there to witness the beautiful ceremony. This venue is literally out in the middle of nowhere. it's secluded and very intimate. The setting was perfect, overlooking the lake, the barn, and some hays too. The only thing missing was probably some horses. After the ceremony, we moved right inside for the reception. I love the fact that the reception hall was like a huge garage. It has rolled up doors that 2 full sides could be wide opened if the weather permits, which it was a perfect day for it. It's a location worth checking out and considering if you're planning for your big day. Just a heads up tho, the parking lot is all gravel, be very careful if you wear high heels. It was a real pain in the ass for me making that short walk to and from the car, but I suck at walking in high heels, so u might be just fine ;)

On 4/3/21, my husband and I had our beautiful wedding at Stonebriar County Club.  Blake was our…read moreflorist and day of coordinator.  He kept us informed of upcoming deadlines and was always very creative and flexible with our ideas.  In the beginning, I had (too) many ideas of what I liked although I knew which flowers I wanted.  We met a couple times (Zoom) leading up to the wedding to discuss bouquets, table arrangements, and décor and each time he was timely and helpful.  I was able to show him pictures I had found and he was able to turn my inspiration into reality because he is so passionate about his job.  Also, we decided to make floral changes after the bridal portraits bouquet was made because some flowers just weren't white enough for our ginger jar theme.  Blake was very understandable and send a new vision board to us.  We decided a month or so before our wedding we'd also have Blake do the day-of coordinating; it was no problem to add that on later.  A week before the wedding, my (now) husband met with Blake to provide all of our ginger jars for the center pieces.  Unbeknownst to me, my husband was also handing over a very sentimental scarf that he had requested to be included in my bouquet.  On the day of our wedding, Blake arrived at our venue early with TJ and team to ensemble the areas of the country club.  Upon its reveal to us, everything looked exactly how we envisioned!  Blake and team checked on my husband and I throughout the night to ensure we were fed, quenched, and happy.  At the end of the night, we ended up having the BEST time with Blake after everyone had left and we were sneaking off in our get-away car.  Blake had packed up the car with my veil, hangers, gifts, sign in globe, and even a box of leftover to take back to our hotel!  We've stayed in contact with Blake after our wedding and actually attended HIS wedding as guests.  Blake is a professional and sweetheart that we are so thankful we had on our wedding day.

My husband and I eloped at their office recently. We based the decision off of the quality of the…read morewebsite, etc. We made the assumption that with their website being as pleasant as it was, and with the photos from the events they'd planned being quite aesthetically pleasing, that their office where elopements are held would also be similarly nice. Unfortunately, we were wrong to make that assumption. So this review really only pertains to their in-office elopements, as I can't speak to the rest of their services. Getting in touch with the owner, Blake, was relatively easy, at first. It was easy to pay online, and he thoughtfully sent us a questionnaire, which was simple and painless to fill out. But after this, at times it was a little difficult to get a response from him and/or the officiator he assigned us regarding our wedding vows. Nothing major, but there was a span of a few days before we received a response in our last correspondence. But it ended up fine. Most of our disappointment was with the office. It was located in a dingy, old building that smelled musty and odd. It seemed like they rent at least two rooms for their business in this building, and both doors were open when we arrived - one was the room where elopements are held, the other I assume was their normal office. We saw Blake (the owner) sitting at a desk in the normal office, but he made no effort to step out and say hello, introduce himself or welcome us, etc. He didn't even wave. We never spoke in person. He looked our way and then turned back to his computer monitor. It was not very professional or kind. Our officiator (who was fine, no complaints there) promptly noticed our arrival and walked us to the elopement room next door. And this is where it got worse. Terrible, SUPER dim, yellow fluorescent lighting. Outdated (Green, I think?) carpet. That same musty smell. The archway we stood under looked pretty half-assedly constructed. We were debating hiring a photographer to come along and help us commemorate the moment, but now we're glad that we didn't - there was no helping that setting. We now wish that we'd asked to see a picture of the office first. I'd post one here but the pictures turned out so terrible that we deleted them all already. We kept a Polaroid that disguised the setting a little bit (with Polaroids not being super hi-res and all), but that's it. The short version of this - if you care about the setting of your elopement, DON'T DO IT HERE. I'm sure they might be wonderful at conventional wedding planning, but this was a total bummer. It's a good thing that we weren't crazy invested in a conventional wedding anyway, but we want to help another nontraditional couple avoid this unpleasantly surprising situation! We did receive our marriage certificate back insanely fast (a week), so they were very prompt about sending it out for us.

I am not easily impressed and Occasions far exceeded my expectations. My guests were still bragging on the rehearsal dinner at the wedding.

Here, we met Barak O'Llama, Sir Llama-lot, Drama Llama, Bahama Llama, and the Dalhi Llama. They have an indoor, air-conditioned llama play room, where the llamas carry out their hierarchy and spend their time staring in the mirror. They have a whole llama show where they teach a llama class. It's super fun! If you ever need a llama themed wedding, this is a great place to do it. Out in front of Castle Waterford, be sure to check out their art- a metal chariot, the Loch Ness Monster, and other weird stuff. It's a beautiful venue that's such a fun place to hang out at! The only draw back was that the only restroom out here was a port-a-potty. Not very regal.
