What to Bring on Your Tour

Bring a checklist of specific questions that align with your unique needs—those that go beyond what we cover in our Answers video. Focus on how our packages can cater to your requirements and clarify any particular details important to your wedding.

You’ll also want to bring your payment details (ACH bank transfer). We’re confident that after your tour, you’ll want to secure your date quickly, as they fill up fast on a first-come, first-served basis.



Who to Bring on Your Tour

You and your partner should bring along anyone involved in the decision-making process, like parents or family members contributing financially. Including a member of your wedding party can be helpful, as they can take notes and catch details you might miss. However, it’s best to keep the group small to avoid distractions.

Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes as you’ll be exploring the manor house, events barn, and our beautifully landscaped grounds.


All I can say is, JUST DO IT. Your future self will thank you for choosing Zion Springs and you will look back at it and wish you could do it all over again. To this day, we still look at our pictures and videos and we are just so happy that we chose Zion Springs. They truly did give us the best day ever and we are forever grateful.

What Wedding Details Are Covered on the Tour?

Your tour at Zion Springs begins with a personalized conversation in The Command Post, where we'll explore the vibe and theme you envision for your wedding day, the memories you want to create, and the experience you wish to offer your guests. We'll discuss key elements like the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, catering, and accommodations, including our luxurious bridal suite. We’ll also outline the specifics of our wedding packages, whether you’re planning an elopement, a minimony, a one-day, or a three-day celebration, walking you through what each option includes for your big day.

What Does My Tour Look Like?

We’ll start at the Ceremony Terrace, where you can picture your walk down the aisle surrounded by beautiful blooms. Then, we’ll visit the Green Room, ideal for cocktails, and the Cucina, where hors d’oeuvres can be enjoyed. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at our commercial kitchen, where our head chef and team create culinary masterpieces. In the design center, you'll preview our selection of serving dishes, table settings, flatware, stemware, and decor options.

Next, we’ll explore the Barn suites, perfect for groomsmen or guests to relax in, followed by a visit to the Manor House, where additional accommodations and the elegant bridal suite await. You’ll also see the Kennedy suite, where you and your bridesmaids can get ready in style.

The Manor House features a cozy living room with a fireplace, a sunroom ideal for mother-and-bride photos, and a dining room perfect for gathering around the table for meals.

Finally, we’ll return to the Barn to experience the rustic charm of the reception hall, complete with lighting and sound systems. We’ll practice the bride's grand entrance down the “Cinderella” stairs, perfecting that special moment. As we conclude, you’ll take in the picturesque lawn views, ideal for your vows and portraits, and visit the Upper Deck, where the celebration can continue with our late-night menu and open bar.
