Testimonials

Lauren & Tanner

"I loved everything about this venue! We had about 120 people, who all fit nicely into one room inside for the reception. I recently had my wedding here and got so many compliments on how beautiful it was with the ceremony overlooking the bluffs. There was also a fire pit that many of my guests enjoyed. The staff was very friendly and quick to respond! They were super helpful and had all the tables and chairs set up the day before so we could pre-decorate. I highly recommend this venue!"

Teri & Steve

"Steeplechase was an amazing location and magical venue for a winter wedding. Our daughter was married on the coldest day of 2016 (-26 degrees) and yet the event was hosted very well by Justin and Anna. Steeplechase is an event center that will undoubtedly become very difficult to book due to demand. Check it out and reserve your date early!"

Nicole & Garrett

"My husband and I were married at Steeplechase a few weeks ago. The setting was stunning-- we said our vows on a hill looking over a wooded valley, then ate and danced the night away in their lovely chapel. Words and pictures don't really do the place justice. If natural beauty is a priority for your wedding, Steeplechase is incredible."

Nicole & Scott

"We just got married here on June 9th 2018. We loved the venue and so did all of our guests, even with the rain. Justin was so easy to work with and made everything so easy. He was very accommodating of all our needs. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone."

Michelle & Matthew

"Best place anyone could ask for to enjoy a special occasion. We recently held our wedding and reception there. Absolutely beautiful venue with breathtaking views in all directions. The owners were a joy to work with, and will make sure everything goes perfectly. You won't regret booking this venue!"
