A wedding of fire and ice a day for the record books! Last minute snow on our November wedding

The infinite possibilities with this venue make it the perfect space for creating your vision. The days leading up to our wedding it became clear that we would most definitely be getting snow/ ice or rain… I refused to make the call until the day before and the owners and Lindsey were super flexible and worked with us on our last minute decision to put a tent up to keep all of our spaces covered and heated. I was still able to have my outdoor woodsy ceremony in the covered pavilion and it was nothing short of magical, sleet tinging the metal awning, fire crackling it was great.
We loved that we were not locked into specific caterers, or other vendors. We were able to rent additional hours leading up to the day of.
Highly recommend CHV for the couple looking for an intimate slow paced celebration. It’s a great blank canvas with great options for overnight stay.
For those of us getting married after kids, this was the only venue I went to where I wasn’t having anxiety about where they would be or what they could get into or break. Cannot speak highly enough about Lindsey (manager) and her responsiveness all along the way!

Sooo much credit to my amazing photographer (photography by Brea) for capturing it all these weee just some sneak peaks and photos from friends and coordinator ( Amy Frances) of set up

The best day ever!!

From the moment we stepped foot on the property to tour the venue with hopes of booking our day to every thing leading up to our big day to then our wedding day, they were amazing! As a nervous bride filled with anxiety, excitement, the feeling of being overwhelmed with everything, Lindsay checked in every chance she could to offer a lending hand. Any questions or concerns I had were always answered in a timely manner. I never felt rushed when I needed to take a trip up to the venue to figure out a few last minute things or just needed to visualize something. Overall, it was such a magical day and I couldn’t have done it without this amazing team and their venue. Thank you camp hidden valley for making this girls dreams come true!!

Great venue for DIY!

Camp Hidden Valley was great for our DIY wedding in the woods. We rented the venue for two nights, which I'd definitely recommend if it's in your budget. Our guests from out of town appreciated the option to stay in the cabins onsite. My only recommendation for the venue would be to update the planning documents given to couples because a lot of the information was inconsistent (i.e. number of rooms / beds per cabin was listed differently on different documents). As other reviews have mentioned, this type of venue is a lot of work, but doable if you plan ahead and especially if you have friends and family who are willing to help.
