Paranormal Activity Cut Our Visit Short!…read more We were looking forward to a relaxing weekend at Belle Oaks and were drawn in by the charming photos and description. But from the moment we arrived, it was clear that--while still beautiful--the inn was showing signs of wear, a faded echo of its restored glory from 20 years ago. What we liked: The property retains a nostalgic charm, with antiques adorning every corner. The hosts greeted us warmly and shared a bit of the inn's history. To their credit, they did warn us that the older electrical circuits might cause occasional flickering lights. What we didn't expect: Lights turning on and off by themselves. The television powering on in the middle of the night. Bed sheets being pulled off us while we slept. Feeling as if I was being touched and it wasn't my husband. The paranormal energy was far more intense than we'd anticipated--and ultimately, we decided to cut our trip short. Other concerns: The pool was dirty, and while breakfast was tasty, it was surprisingly sparse. As someone who's stayed in many bed and breakfasts, this was the first time I've encountered a buffet-style setup with no table settings, no water service, and a limited selection. We left both hungry and unnerved. Speaking with locals we learned that stories abound about hauntings in Gonzales.

We attended a wedding in August and it was pretty hot outside because as a guest, you have to stay seated for a bit for the whole ceremony, but that is a seasonal thing. There was an outdoor patio appetizer set up area to mingle for a little bit, and then we moved indoors to be seated for dinner and the reception I thought the venue was perfect. The only big tip that I would have liked to have received before attending was to try to come with an SUV or four-wheel-drive because the incline to get up to the location is pretty steep!! It was a little scary and I wouldn't have liked to have been the one driving.

My husband and I had our wedding here just a few weeks ago. Everything was amazing. Chris and…read moreBethany were so responsive and helpful with any/all questions. They even noticed I paid a vendor for something they supplied and was able to reimburse me some money, which was much appreciated! Anna, our day of coordinator provided by Red Ridge, was absolutely fantastic. She was handling things I wouldn't have even thought of. She was kind and team-bride all the way. She was absolutely incredible and I cannot say enough good things about her. Everyone in the wedding party noticed how attentive and helpful she was. The venue itself is in a stunning location. The photos from the evening are just amazing against the beautiful backdrop. Everything was just beautiful, especially because we picked the all-inclusive package which really helped cut down on the extra things I needed to plan as a bride. All of their details were handled with easy to access and manage online forms. The ONLY reason I am not giving 5 stars is due to a very disappointing experience with the DJ provided by the venue. I am trying hard not to fault the venue for this, but it really was pretty heartbreaking for me as the bride. The DJ, a young man who had been with the company several years I was told, played the wrong song as I walked down the aisle. Instead of playing the instrumental version of one of me and my husband 's favorite songs, the DJ played our aisle exit song as I walked down the aisle. The song had words and was upbeat. Although a meaningful song to us as a couple, it was just not the bridal moment I had always dreamt about. It the moment, I just went with it because I didn't want to stop and go back, I just wan't sure what to do, but I really can't stop thinking about how that moment of walking down the aisle that I'e always dreamt of was taken from me by a DJ just not paying enough attention. To make matters just a bit worse, he then played that same song as we exited the ceremony space. I had a few guests mention to me how it was as "interesting choice in ceremony music" and I just had to explain that there had been a mistake. I felt really embarrassed and disappointed. In addition, even though I had hand selected the songs to play at the reception, the DJ somehow loaded up the wrong playlist and the first 4 or 5 songs weren;t ones I had picked. Oldies were played, which was fine I guess ... just not our kind of music. After alerting Anna to the fact that this was not our music the problem was rectified. After reaching out to Chris and Bethany about my frustration and sadness over this issue they were very apologetic and let me know that that DJ would no longer be working for their company. I feel a sense of relief for upcoming brides that will not have to feel the disappointment of having that one special moment ruined, but I also feel a sense of guilt for having that employee lose their position.

Our wedding coordinator knew her duties and the owner seemed to try to overstep how we wanted our sons wedding to be. From setting up tables to food preparation which we had a catering food truck. The owners would not let them bring in their prepared food and having the food truck come in and out of the rain with 5/8 plates for a wedding of 150 guests. The venue we booked for Friday and Saturday and on top of that had to have decorations down the same night. And also let's not forget about the AC as they would go and change it while you were not looking. You pay for a venue to enjoy the way you want it and to setup the way you want it not the way the last people had theirs setup.

Both owners are so friendly and helpful! My wedding day was absolutely perfect despite the weather. The air B&B on site is perfect when you book the venue. It was so cute and super clean.

The reception area is big and open as well. My favorite part of the entire place though is the back patio which has lots of room for guests to relax and chat away from noise. Not to mention the stunning sunset view that you get from the back patio. On top of the venue being so beautiful itself, the owner (Linda) was great to work with. She was so helpful preparing for our wedding, and coordinating on the day of the event. Both of us have never been married before, and Linda was awesome to ask advice or bounce ideas off of. She knew what she was doing 100%, and our day wouldn't have been as great as it was without her. I would highly recommend Angel Mountain Events to anyone getting married!!!

Hot water. Comfortable beds. They have Kuerig coffee makers in the hallways, not in the room. They have pods as well or bring your own. An Italian restaurant is attached, but not sure about breakfast options. Large free parking in parking lot across street so if you have a trailer, shouldn't be a problem. Reasonably priced, but some high additional fees. Definitely worth the stay.
