I booked my venue very early as I fell in love with Viamede years ago...and ended up disappointed.

1. There was a tornado last summer that caused a ton of damage however, renovations were supposed to be done by the wedding, they weren't. Although they did very well at making the area tidy for the day of, there was no communication with me prior to my arrival. It was made worse by the addition steps down the aisle where there was once a ramp. This makes the wedding point inaccessible to anyonw with a walking disability and hard for young children or high heels. This could all have been made better by a simple phone call Also the cottages were purchased by a few of my guests and they were not ready.

2. Towards the end of our stay, there was some type of water pressure failure. Toilets wouldn't flush, and there was no running water. 99% of my guests has left by this point but some couldn't shower before they left.

3. The evening before the wedding day, there was very young, junior staff working. They tried their best but had little supervision or support it felt, and felt kinda helpless for any questions myself or my family had.

4. The wedding point minus the changes was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the view was breathtaking.

Viamede Resort is the greatest place on earth! We had the most amazing wedding weekend, it was beyond anything we could have ever looked at. All of the staff were fantastic (special shout out to Deanna and Nikki!). The food is incredible, the views are spectacular, and the staff go above and beyond to make you happy. We are still on cloud 9! Thank you again, Viamede! Can’t wait to visit for each anniversary!
