The Rehearsal
"When we began the wedding planning process, we did a lot of research and were stunned at how expensive weddings are. We chose Zion Springs because we really appreciated the transparency they provide when it comes to pricing - there are no surprise fees or up charges, everything is crystal clear and reasonably priced. Having everything in one place eliminates the risk of different fees for different vendors, which would end up costing more and more as they add up. It's also extremely nice to make payments to one place and not have to wrangle several vendors."

"When I say there was no stress planning the wedding, I mean it. The smarsheet has everything you can ever think of in one place and it's a very organized process. The team is responsive and helpful at all times. Zion Springs takes care of every single thing, from the website and invitations to parking attendants and amazing videos that perfectly captured our BEST DAY EVER. Flowers were very important to me and they let me use my mom to supply them and Sofia listened thoughtfully to everything I wanted, executing the designs perfectly."
The Ceremony
Processional Music: "El Paso" by Howdy
"The entire property is gorgeous and dreamy. It has everything anyone wants in a venue -- from big patio space, beautiful manicured laws, fire pits, dreamy lighting, beautiful views, high ceilings, everything. It set the tone for our guests having an amazing night filled with laughter, love, and celebration. So many people told us they were blow away by how beautiful and well laid out the venue was."
The Reception
First Dance: "The Bones" by Maren Morris
Dinner: Chicken Piccata, Brisket, Portobello Mushrooms with Rice Pilaf | Donuts
The Cake: Chocolate Cake with French Vanilla Buttercream
"The chicken + waffles and crab cakes were the biggest hit"

What advice would you give to other wedding couples?
"Get married at Zion Springs, you will NOT regret it! While they take care of everything, they also listen to everything you want and make it happen. From specific types of wine to small details in the ceremony, there was nothing they didn't accommodate. Worth every penny! Also, get the end of night video - it is THE BEST THING EVER. Our guests were BLOWN away and I swear they still talk about it. We watched it a million times a day for the first few months and still watch it a lot. It's the perfect way to capture the best day."
