This left a lot of people who came to help us setup out in the heat while the women went to the bridal suite for hair and makeup and got to shower. My second issue was that the grooms suite (which is the owners personal home, so I understand the constraints) isn't available until 2 hours before the ceremony, and the shower was off limits. I would not recommend doing a ceremony before 4pm on a hot day because the tipis may not be cooled down enough, and definitely be prepared to shower if you're going to be setting things up yourself. Maybe if the ac had been turned on before the sun came up, or left on overnight so it would remain cool for the next day, that might've prevented them from getting so hot. They did bring out some fans to get the air moving better and help it cool down, but it wasn't until about 3 or 4 pm that it started to feel tolerable in there. It was pretty miserable working in there to get stuff setup. We were very concerned that it wouldn't cool down at all by the time people would arrive at 4:30pm. They let us get there a bit early to start setting up, and they got the AC in the tipis on about when we got there at 10am, but it didn't cool down for hours.
First, we got married mid May and it was mid to high 90's that day. I only had two main issues with the venue in the end. They kept things as relaxed as possible, even when things didn't run quite to schedule, which is exactly what I wanted. Autumn and Matt were our coordinators for the day, and they did great, keeping things as low stress as possible for me and everyone else by worrying about the timeline and such so we didn't have to. They also provide an on the day coordinator to help communicate with vendors on the day of the wedding, and help things run smoothly. The suite is so cute! My only complaint is the metal spiral staircase is cramped to get up and down, but besides that it is wonderful! The bed was very comfy 😉 It was nice to be able to simply walk from the reception to the bridal suite. It also came with the bridal suite for the night so me and my new husband didn't have to go far after the wedding. Tables and chairs for the reception are included, seating for the aisle is already there, things are ready for the DJ to setup at the reception and ceremony areas, atmospheric fairy lights inside and outside lighting up the tents and the property is already there and gorgeous-this venue barely needs any decorating because it's already beautiful and has everything you need! There are also many tall trees on the property, and they shaded the aisle area very well for our 5pm ceremony! Worth it even beyond just what it looks like.
