Malachi and I had our wedding here in september and it was the most magical weekend ever. Sharen and Tara went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our weekend so special and as a wedding photographer myself, i have never ever seen a wedding run so smoothly! They are so accommodating and truly GOOD PEOPLE! You can tell they put their entire heart and soul into this place and treat all couples and guests as though they are family.

Glamping retro is an incredible experience all around. From the luxurious glamping tents, cozy treehouse, and beautiful scenery, we literally couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The property has so many different options to host your ceremony. we opted for the meadow, and i’m so glad we did!!! During our ceremony, butterflies fluttered all around us and our guests could not stop talking about it.

Since our wedding day, we have heard nothing but how we had the best wedding ever and have had numerous guests tell us that our venue was perfect and that they hope to come back and rent it as an airbnb for a fun getaway sometime.

Truly 10/10. If you want it, sharen and tara will do all they can to make it happen. Cannot say enough good things about this place. It was a core memory for not only Malachi and I, but our guests attending as well. Thank you glamping retro!!!!

A few weeks ago my wife and I got married here, and it was absolutely everything and more than we could have ever asked for. Having a wedding at Glamping Retro means having owners who's service go above and beyond to make your dreams come to life. Every step of the way, Sharen, Tara, and Tony were there to answer every question, give recommendations, and assist us in making sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted and planned.

Along with incredible owners, Glamping Retro is a venue like no other with the abundance of clean, cozy, accessible stays and amenities, pet friendly accommodations, and a serene environment. From the night before the wedding where we grilled out with our wedding party and relaxed by the fire eating s'mores, to the night after reflecting on how perfect the day went while still having all our closest friends and family there relaxing by that same fire, the wedding was a truly unforgettable experience.

We can never thank Glamping Retro enough for the hospitality and care that turned our wedding into reality, and a beautiful memory that we will forever talk about. We will undoubtedly be returning for our anniversary next year!

The moment we stepped on property to tour for our microwedding we knew this was the place for us! It is so peaceful and beautiful! We even stayed in the glamping tents prior to our wedding day because we (& our dog) love it so much! Sharen & her team set everything up and had personal welcome signs for each tent. We will be back for anniversaries to celebrate!

My husband and I got married at Glamping Retro in October, and seriously, you cannot beat the quality of this wedding venue for the price. The property is absolutely gorgeous making environment, decorating, photos, etc. very easy. There are so many different fun spaces to use in different ways for the event. The owners and employees are on top of everything, making the wedding day run smoothly. They are super attentive and make your event feel so personal, which is very impressive considering that they often have back to back weddings on the weekends.

The morning of our wedding, my wedding dress and marriage license got locked in my car with the keys in the venue parking lot. The venue managers were immediately helpful, making phone calls and bringing out tools in search of solutions. For reasons beyond their control, we ultimately ended up breaking the car window so that we could resolve the issue and move forward. I planned on just handling the broken window the next morning, but when I returned to the venue after getting my hair done, they had vacuumed all the glass out of the car and taped over the empty window. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our day got back on track and that there were no further problems. I cannot thank them enough and could not imagine having had a better venue or wedding experience.
