Planning a wedding is hard, planning a wedding somewhere you have never been to is even harder…read more Putting all of your trust into someone to plan and arrange all the details AND beautifully capture it somewhere you have never been is level 10 crazy. Finding the most perfect person to plan that wedding, make you feel and look beautiful, cover every detail you didn't even think of AND beautifully capture every moment, is a gift you can never take for granted. Sarah is that gift. She is a master at her craft and gave us the most magical and glorious day we could have ever dreamed. She thought of things we hadn't even thought of and took care of every detail so we could just be in the moment from start to end. Our photos are beyond breathtaking and her team of hand selected professionals ( hair, makeup, floral, and officiant ) were all matched specific to our unique personalities and likes because she cared to get to know us. We are forever thankful to her.

Tambra was our full service wedding planner for our April 2022 wedding with a 30K budget. Our…read morewedding was absolutely perfect. I would choose Tambra over and over again for the following reasons: 1) She was responsive and available. I was always able to reach Tambra whether it was through text, call, or email. She always made a point to be available to us and responded to all of our requests almost immediately. Or, if she was particularly busy one weekend, she would acknowledge our request and let us know that she would get back to us within the next 72 hours. Her responsiveness was incredibly important to us, because in planning a wedding, everything feels urgent and important. It was really reassuring to know that she was always just a text away if we needed her. 2) She was kind and patient. I was constantly impressed by how pleasant it was working with Tambra. As a couple, we were incredibly indecisive and changed our minds on some big ticket items multiple times. Tambra very gracefully supported us through our decisions and never once made us feel judged or guilty for changing our minds. I could tell that she is truly a kind person who really cares for her clients. This was so important to me, because as a bride you want the planning process to be pleasant. Tambra always made me feel like I was being supported. 3) She was organized, dependable, and professional. Tambra delivered beyond our expectations on our wedding day. During the days leading up to the wedding, she was checking in almost every day just to ask if we had any hiccups come up. On the day before the wedding, she helped us secure last minute space heaters for the wedding due to inclement weather. She also pre-walked the ceremony grounds and recruited staff to mow the lawn and clean up twigs since she felt it not up to her standards. On the wedding day, thing ran so smoothly. I very much owe our perfect wedding to Tambra's planning skills and foresight to ensure everything was planned. She also offered expert tips that we would not have known had we not had her experience, such as how to time out the day, how to make a ceremony seating chart, when to time photos with sunset, etc. Tambra's execution of our wedding day made all of the cost of the wedding worth it. I cannot express our gratitude enough to Tambra for helping us make our dream wedding come true!

Honest Review: Zion Red Rock Oasis, Villa, and Chalet (Wedding September 2024)…read more TL;DR: * Beautiful setting * Friendly staff * Overpriced for what you get * Avoid the lake after midsummer * Watch out for vendor limitations and hidden fees Overview We hosted our wedding in mid-September 2024 and rented all three Zion Red Rock properties: The Oasis, The Villa, and The Chalet. Here's what we loved and what we didn't. The Good Location & Scenery Rockville and the surrounding area are stunning. The Oasis and Villa are particularly beautiful. The Chalet is more basic but has great views from its elevated position. Amenities Tons to do on-site: pools, lake, theater, soccer field, and more. Great for entertaining guests. Staff Andrea and Devin (no longer there) were helpful leading up to the event. On-site staff was friendly and responsive. Vendors We Loved Snow Canyon Catering: Jeremy and his team were incredible. Delicious food, professional service, and great people to hang out with Desert Ice: Customized our menu and was a pleasure to work with. Silver Lining: Accommodating and kind throughout the planning process. Poppa Naps BBQ: Didn't end up using him, but he was responsive and eager to help early on. The Not-So-Great Cost vs. Value While the properties are beautiful, they don't operate at the level you'd expect for the high price point. Service is hit-or-miss, and extra fees stack up quickly. The bunkroom only had one set of overhead lights - no lamps in each bunk, so the light was either on for everyone or no one. An oversight that they said they would correct. Temperature It was hot. We moved our ceremony last minute to a shaded spot under the tree at The Oasis. If you're planning a fall wedding, check Zion temps and add 10 degrees for Rockville. Nothing the venue could have controlled, just more of an FYI. Supplies Very limited paper towels (2 rolls/kitchen) and toilet paper (4 rolls/bathroom) provided--even with 30-40 guests per house and hosting a 150 person wedding at one of the houses. We were denied extra despite the high cost of rental. Oddly, they did offer unlimited coffee. Lighting Fees We were charged $700+ for the rental, setup and teardown of overhead string lights at the Oasis (the same ones we own - but they said theirs were the "only dark sky approved ones'), even though they were already set up from a previous event. Payment went to the event manager's personal Venmo--not the venue. Lake Warning Do not swim in the lake past midsummer. It's stagnant, smells bad, and caused health issues for several guests--rashes, sore throats, congestion. My wife ended up needing a chest X-ray after swimming. Unpleasant Odor There was a faint sewage smell throughout our stay--likely from a nearby water treatment facility visible from The Chalet. Vendor Red Flags Platinum Vendors Vendors are labeled "Platinum" because they pay the venue a 10% kickback--not because they're the best. This cost is passed directly to you, and you're required to use them. Poor Communication Rheanna's Private Dining - Gave us a quote, then ghosted. God Bless PupUSAs & Crepes - Took 6 months to respond. Sushi Squad - Replied 8 months later. Venue was informed but did not update the list or help find alternatives. Electric Audio (Required DJ Vendor) This is the event manager's husband's company, the only one allowed to manage sound due to local noise ordinances. Jason (the owner) has a good rep according to google reviews, but he backed out last minute. His brother subbed in and made several mistakes, including playing music too early during the ceremony. If you're required to use them, insist that Jason be present. Final Thoughts The Zion Red Rock properties are beautiful, and our wedding was ultimately a great time, but we had to work hard to make it that way. For the price, we expected more professionalism and flexibility. If you choose this venue, read the fine print, get everything in writing, and prepare for some DIY problem-solving.
