We planned our wedding in 4 months, and this venue and the coordinator Deanna were a huge reason why we pulled it off! The venue is stunning and magical during sunset, and we received compliments across the board.

Nature Valley Lodge is a beautiful venue, amazing views, great people. Events Director Deanna are long time wedding professional and great to work with. As a wedding vendor, I personally worked with Deanna many times on different wedding/projects, and it was pleasure to work with.

★★★★★ — Video, Jul 2025

Gorgeous venue! I am a wedding coordinator and attended the soft opening. I was pleasantly surprised at this beautiful venue. It’s tucked away making it feel private. The views were stunning and there were so many different spots for guests to gather or even explore during the evening.

Getting married at Nature Valley Lodge

Nature Valley Lodge comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Nature Valley Lodge

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Nature Valley Lodge — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
