I felt comfortable, relaxed and downright gorgeous the entire time, even shedding a tear or two (maybe 50) at how confident I felt in my own skin ... and then I saw the developed photos and cried all over again. Her talent is limitless. From behind the scenes to behind the lense, Kate knows what she's doing. Between outfit changes and during the shoot, she explained different lights and different angles, and how they all worked together. The photos I received (and disk!) shortly after the shoot were incredible, but still not the best part of the experience. Kate helped me find the confidence and self love I deserve, and reminded me that I should always be proud of exactly who I am. I'll always be grateful for that day, and Kate. And, my face still hurts from smiling during the entire shoot. AND I LIKE IT.

When I first saw SV online, I absolutely fell in love with it and knew it be the place where I…read morewould plan my dream wedding. But believe or not, SV only gets better once you meet the Owner, Marianne and the wedding coordinators who are A Little Party (ALP). They are all so WONDERFUL to work with and I felt completely cared for throughout the wedding process, which is a really scary thing if you don't have a good team by your side. Marianne and ALP are both professional, prompt, and go above and beyond. They made sure I was happy and satisfied and if there was an issue or concern, they help fix it right away. The best part of SV for me was when I finally saw it in person. Though SV looks amazing and gorgeous in pictures, it'll take your breath away in person. If you want a gorgeous outdoor venue with the wedding dream team, you've come to the right place. I can honestly say I had my dream wedding here and then some more with the love and care I received from Marianne and all the vendors affiliated with SV.

We toured over 10 venues in our area before finding Cedar Oaks Farm, and truly nothing else met…read moreboth my and my husband's standards -- especially not at such a fair price. Every other venue was double the cost, and still didn't compare. From the breathtaking Mountain View's to the immaculate getting-ready suites, we knew right away this was the one. The staff was kind, responsive, and helpful from the very beginning, and they worked with us to book immediately after our tour. We ended up driving 2.5 hours for our wedding here, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was booked far in advance (for good reason!), so we didn't get our original date -- but we were thrilled just to get in. We ended up with a July wedding and the weather was perfect. Yes, it was warm, but we planned ahead with fans as favors, and no one cared once they saw the view. The venue itself is clean, beautifully maintained, and laid out so thoughtfully. The getting-ready spaces for both the guys and girls were by far the nicest of any venue we toured. Everything felt peaceful, elegant, and easy. Our guests were in awe -- they made a weekend of it and kept telling us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Out of 200 invited, about 120 came, and the entire day felt just right. If you're looking for a venue that's stunning, organized, and elegant -- without spending $10k just to book it -- Cedar Oaks Farm is absolutely the one. I recommend it to anyone who wants the perfect view and a flawless experience.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Blackwater Creek Catering! They catered our recent…read morewedding and from the first meeting Darin was professional, organized, creative and truly understood the feel I wanted for our event. He went above and beyond to help us identify and describe a vision and make sure our vendors all saw that vision with us. His team was equally as professional and service oriented. It was icing on the cake that his food was AMAZING - I've gotten so many compliments about the variety and taste of the menu he devised. I can't imagine having gone with another caterer for our event and I would recommend Darin and Blackwater Creek Catering to anyone, without reservation!

My daughter had a wedding at the end of May 2026 at Sorella Farms. It is a pretty venue. Our…read moreexperience became complicated by the sale of this property just after our signing the agreement. There are several things people should know before they book this venue. One, they tell you there are several vendors to pick from for the DJ, Caterer, Florist and Bakery. That was NOT the case. They have one vendor for each of the things included in the package. The DJ paid no attention to the play list submitted by the Bride and Groom. He did not play one song on their playlist. He was also asked to do an anniversary dance, which he did not do. I would not recommend him at all. The caterer was disappointing. The food was cold and mediocrely prepared. They were frankly a bit rude to work with. The florist did a pretty good job. The bakery was supposed to do a mango cake and did a peach cake. The cake was at least moist and did taste good. You need to know this venue says it is all inclusive, but that is not really true. They want to charge you for every little thing for example $150 for a table for a cake. Michelle, who now owns this venue, is not as personable as the previous owner and really needs to work on her communication skills. Sarah, the wedding coordinator, is nice, but she was mostly absent. She was slow to react during most of the wedding. Our guests sat for over an hour with no food or direction of what was going on or what was next. She was mostly absent even before the wedding. She never made sure the bridesmaids all had their flowers or the mothers and fathers had theirs. They did not communicate well before the wedding. My daughter had to work as her own coordinator really. It was stressful because supposedly this was part of the package but in reality, we did not have a focused coordinator. We also had a medical emergency right after the wedding and there was no water or ice or anything in place to help with that emergency. The coordinator and owner were nowhere to be found when the emergency happened. The actual place for the girls to get dressed is Michelle's home. It is SO inconvenient. You cannot even place your dresses in the home on the rehearsal night. The space for the girls to get dressed is small and too warm. There is really no place for the bride to stay while she is waiting for the wedding as there are way too many windows. They should consider putting a bridal suite in that is not attached to the house so the girls can get ready at the venue. Otherwise, you have to rent something else to get ready and that is more expense. I cannot recommend this venue based on our experience. The value was in the One Stop Aspect for the money but the execution left much wanting. The owner must up her personability, the coordinator must work on her detailed and consistent focus and engagement, and the vendors list should be expanded. My daughter had a great time because we kept her from the many problems during the wedding and reception, but there are many issues with this venue. If you are looking for a wedding venue, I would be wary of this one in it's current configuration.

She has an absurd amount of experience and knows exactly how to focus on the couple so that it is a stress free day! The grounds are beautiful- they put a ton of work into making sure flowers are blooming, everything is clean, and the set up is exactly how you like it. They maintain tons of lights that make the venue look like something out of a fairy tale. Teresa went out of her way to help me during the planning process so that everything was prepared and she took care to communicate all of the details with us so it was all taken care of. She solved countless crises (the cake baker backing out last minute, the rehearsal dinner being double booked, our outside caterer being non responsive, I could go on...) without ever adding stress to my plate and with always taking care of the problem in a quick and professional manner. Everything is also priced very reasonably- I honestly would have been willing to pay double what we did for the great service we got and the beauty of the venue. Also, we received massive discounts from other vendors because they love working at Glencliff so much. The bouquets were also incredible! Teresa included extra flowers and designed the bouquets to fit in perfectly with the rest of the day. She is clearly an expert in her trade. Everything was fabulous and I'm so thankful we chose Glencliff for our wedding!

The grounds are breath-taking! (Many of our wedding guests were very complimentary on how beautiful Glencliff was!) Teresa was wonderful to work with - she handled so many details for us that would have been difficult to take care of long distance. Although we did not use all of her "team" for one-stop-shopping, it was nice to have that option. We had our wedding ceremony at a nearby church and Teresa was there for the rehearsal and service, making sure everything came off without a hitch! Teresa did a beautiful job with the bridal party flowers, the poolside spread of hors de oeurves, and a delicious dinner. Her DJ, Carla, was fabulous - handled the job of Master of Ceremonies professionally and kept thing running smoothly! I was most impressed with Teresa's willingness to do what she could to make it truly "our wedding". We appreciated her expertise and suggestions but bottom line, she listened to what the bride desired and did all she could to accommodate our requests - even if it meant making last minute changes. I have no reservations in recommending Teresa and Glencliff Manor for YOUR wedding/reception venue!
