The venue’s extraordinary natural and architectural features, from the water wheel and waterfall to the cascading creek and 100-year-old handcrafted beams, give photographers a genuinely stunning, one-of-a-kind range of backdrops that needs no enhancement. For the entertainment, the enclosed grand ballroom, with its rustic beams and hard surfaces, gives a wedding DJ solid structure and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception fills the room and the dance floor stays packed in the mountains.
