Five Stars

We got compliments from so many guests that this was the best wedding they had ever been too, how beautiful it was etc. I would do everything the same exact way if I had to do it over. I toured a few other venues before I found this one and they were okay, but when I saw this one in person I knew instantly that it was it. Maegan and all of the other staff members were so kind and responsive from the first day I visited, and all throughout the day-of! Thank you LRC for your part in making our day the best one yet!

Breathtaking

“Breathtaking” is how all my guests described my wedding. Truthfully they were speechless because of how beautiful it was. The staff was fabulous! Maegan is THE BEST! The Lost River cave is a must have for any upcoming events. If you want to really wow your guests, have the most gorgeous place for pictures, and have an event of a lifetime book it. We got married almost a month ago and I still have guests calling me telling me how absolutely beautiful it was.
