We absolutely loved the entire wedding planning process and wedding day with Blue and the team at Asessippi. The attention to detail in the planning process made it super easy to know that the wedding day was going to go perfectly as planned. Although we only ended up having our ceremony here, and not our reception, we would highly reccomend them for anyone looking to have the wedding of their dreams! -

Jared K. Married on 24/07/2021High Hopes, Low Results
I want to ensure I write a comprehensive review so that I am not taken as just a disgruntled individual. For full disclosure, my fiancee and I were planning on booking at Asessippi (had even paid the deposit), when a number of events led to us cancelling.
I would like to start with the pros: The area is absolutely gorgeous. The valley, vine chapel, and river area was what my fiancee and I were most hoping for for our wedding. It is very breathtaking in both the winter and the summer.
Now that I have addressed all that we have found enjoyable about our experience I would like to list the reasons for a low review:
The staff was poorly organized and non-responsive throughout the first few months. As an example I would list that we asked for her to inquire into drapery for the tent, which she agreed to do (as she had rented the tent for us, and we did not know the dimensions). After over a month without results, we were told to looking into it ourselves, which led to weeks before we could get the tent dimensions.
The conversations were also very persistent on options that would cost more money, and not cognizant of what we wanted. We were pushed to rent out fans and bug zappers for our outdoor wedding (despite saying no), told to expect a $400 fee for the dance floor (which was listed as included in the contract), as well as meeting a number of difficulties in trying to provide liquor ourselves (double charging bar services, adding in security costs, and a 40% corkage fee).
On the topic of cost, the staff took no opportunity to increase price for granted. Gratuity and tax were added to everything including items such as the dance floor, and items from other vendors (tent rental). We were also quoted $175 (plus gratuity and taxes) in costs to have a event permit for the park filled out, which upon research we found was a $50 dollar form that would take minutes to complete.
We had hopes that having one point of contact for rentals would relieve stress, but we found that even talking about planning the wedding was a chore. Safe to say our decision to move on from Asessippi has rekindled our excitement. -

Blue and her team did everything possible to make our day special. Even when it stormed so bad our ceremony sight got washed away last minute! It was a wonderful day and so beautiful! They went above and beyond for us. -

Blue is amazing to work with! We had our ceremony scheduled for August 2020 and due to Covid, had to postpone to next year, she was so accommodating for us and can not wait to tie the knot next year! -

Kara F. Married on 31/12/2016Blue and her staff did such an amazing job helping me get my day together! The food was terrific, we asked for pulled pork, coleslaw and potato salad; it was a huge hit with the guests! The venue looked spectacular and we got to go up on the ski lift with our bridal party and that was a memory everlasting!
