**Wedding Review** ~Julia W.
We explored many venues around the area and I can't imagine going with any other than Hickory Bridge, I am already recommending it to other engaged couples! We got married in a chapel but had our reception at Hickory Bridge in the restaurant and these are my takeaways:
PROFESSIONALISM
Angie, the wedding coordinator was absolutely AMAZING! She has YOUR back and will do anything in her power to make your vision come to life. Even though she is a woman of many talents, she always clears time in her schedule to make sure everything is right, and answer any and all questions. She lays out all of your options with NO hidden fees (this was important to me) and honors your choice, no questions asked.
BEAUTY
This venue is stunning. Between the restaurant itself and the Red Shed, they can do it all! Small rustic weddings, big elaborate weddings, there is something for anybody. There are so many beautiful locations outside the venue to get gorgeous wedding photos taken. They keep authentic farmhouse charm but can also give you an elegant feel if you so prefer.
BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
We were very pleased with the total cost seeing all that was included. Instead of one small plate per guest the nature of their restaurant is to really feed people as the guests see fit, and they do NOT compromise on quality. There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from, numerous sides, and they even included appetizers/charcuterie and an open bar option for guests while bridal party got photos done. Their alcohol selection (if you so prefer it) is large. The raspberry rum punch was a real crowd pleaser! And considering that Angie is there to help make every detail perfect in your own way, I have already started recommending it to others I know are engaged. She has inclusive options for every budget! I am so blown away by the way Angie presented my desserts and gift/favor tables. Several guests told me the food was the best of any wedding they had been to. We were even able to use the Bed and Breakfast to get hair and makeup done at no added cost which helped so much with space and time. And don't forget they have secluded cottages in the woods that you can rent for 2+ nights! I spent the night before my wedding with my bridesmaids to have some girl time, and the wedding night with my husband! Some if not all include a jacuzzi! I definitely recommend booking a cottage, they are adorable and right near the water. We had breakfast dropped off right at our door and it was cinnamon rolls, quiche, fresh fruit and yogurt, and orange juice. They include so many thoughtful touches in everything they do. It was very special being able to choose Hickory Bridge for my reception and if I could do it all again I would not change a single thing.
