Reeds and Rushes is truly one of the best wedding venues out there! From our very first meeting to the big day, they were incredibly organized and a joy to work with. The venue itself had the perfect modern aesthetic we were looking for, and both the bridal and groom’s suites were outstanding. Our guests loved the patio space and it was wonderful having an area where they could relax by the fire, play games, and visit. The staff went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Choosing Reeds and Rushes was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions!

We couldn't be happier that we chose Powder Ridge as a wedding venue! From the first tour of the venue to the last dance on our wedding day their staff was absolutely incredible. Laura at Powder Ridge was a huge help during the planning process and the weekend of the wedding. She was knowledgable, friendly, and punctual on every detail! Powder Ridge made the wedding planning process so easy. They have a lot of built in perks to using them as a vendor. They can host the ceremony and reception all in one place - they cater the meals in-house (with fantastic food!), the bar is also run by them. A lot of venues have you hire the big ticket items in to their space. It made it very easy for us that most of this was taken care of by them! The staff on the day of was so attentive, our guests were raving about how beautiful Powder Ridge was in the summer. Your pictures will be beautiful with how green everything is! Another great perk is that you get to utilize the venue the whole weekend - a lot of venue's nowadays have several weddings on one weekend....Powder Ridge lets you decorate on Friday morning, rehearse Friday evening, and have a blast on your wedding day without the scramble of picking up all the decor on Saturday night. We had the best wedding day - and a huge part of the success of the day was because of Powder Ridge and their staff. We couldn't be more impressed with how smooth and polished our wedding was. Our friends and family are still talking about how perfect the day was. We are so grateful for all Powder Ridge did for us and would highly recommend them as a venue for your big day!

My husband and I were married at The Regency earlier this month, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Being able to book both Thursday and Friday gave us the time to decorate, rehearse, and feel completely prepared heading into the big day. We received so many compliments on the food—guests raved about both the flavor and how quickly meals were served. Maddie, our captain, was attentive and reassuring, checking in often to make sure everything was running smoothly. And Emmalee was truly outstanding! She was incredibly flexible, friendly, and helpful in every way. Any time we had a question or request, she immediately had an answer or solution. She made the planning process stress-free and our friends and family adored her just as much as we did. The venue itself was breathtaking—unique, elegant, and the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. We heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests, many of whom remarked on how beautiful the space was and how much they enjoyed the evening. Thank you, Regency, for making our wedding day so special and memorable. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding or special event.

Coyote Moon Grille was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the first time we met with Lindsey, her communication was fast, honest, and professional. The private event space and bar, with both indoor and outdoor accommodations, was exactly what we were looking for. Lindsey handled all the behind-the-scenes details seamlessly, and the staff stayed calm and kept to our timeline.

I cannot recommend enough! The entire Grands team was amazing to work with from start to finish! Joe (general manager) gave us an in-depth tour and made sure we knew all of our options. Mel (events director) made sure we stayed on track with timeline and choosing all the details. Larry (entertainment director) made sure our guests had the best time - I don't think the dance floor was ever empty! And we can't forget about Alyssa (day of coordinator) - she made sure the team had us covered in ways we would have never thought. She made the day stress-free, which was a dream!
