We got married on 10/8/22 and chose the buyout option for our 120 person wedding. We had our ceremony in the pavilion, cocktail hour on the wrap around porch, dinner in the restaurant and dancing in the pavilion. From the beginning of our process, Melanie was a pleasure to work with. We are so grateful you were with us every step of the way. Melanie was very responsive to emails and phone calls and provided details to questions we had. We also had a final detail meeting a month prior to review final day of details which was so helpful. Two days before the wedding we had a ceremony walkthrough with the bridal party. The wedding exceeded our expectations in so many ways, it was so perfect and magical! Your staff were so attentive and kind and took such care of us and our family and friends. Our guests could not stop raving about the ambiance, the venue’s breathtaking views, the food, drinks and flow of the evening. Words cannot express how truly grateful we are that we were able to have our wedding at the most perfect place.

Melanie and the team at OTR are the absolute best. Melanie has a true gift for event planning and execution, her talent shines through in the details she is able to think about and plan for. When we last minute added a hot pretzel station for the end of the night, she thoughtfully had the staff put out to-go containers for each guest. She did the same for cupcakes we had for dessert, without us asking (honestly I never would have thought to even ask for this)!. When it got chilly during dinner before dancing started, the team brought out heaters for the guests, when the shuttle bus wouldn't drive up the hill to pick everyone up she coordinated several golf carts to drive guests down to the bus (while I stood there in a panic). The staff set up our table decor fantastically, they were so attentive to myself and my husband throughout the day. We had drinks waiting for us after we walked up the aisle when the ceremony ended. We had a platter of appetizers brought directly to us during cocktail hour. They accommodated requests from family members and bridal party members that were not planned for and they were so gracious about it when they easily could have said no. I would recommend everyone who wants to have a midsize wedding check out OTR! The value for the cost is outstanding and Melanie is truly a magician. I can not recommend OTR enough!

We had such a great experience with On the Rocks. Since we were organizing during COVID restrictions, the staff was fantastic with accommodating our requests and working with us to make sure we were able to celebrate our bride. The staff were all so great and friendly. The location was beautiful, spacious, and fit our need perfectly. The food and drinks were delicious and our guests told us they were very pleased with their meals.

Working with Melanie and her team was the best!! They executed our day perfectly. This venue is absolutely beautiful, and was perfect for our smaller wedding (around 90 guests). Thanks, Melanie!!
