McGrath Wedding Septemner 2019 Top of the Rock

Big Cedar Lodge was the perfect location for our destination wedding in September 2019. We are from Plano, Texas and had the most amazing experience with everyone at Big Cedar. Our ceremony was at Top of the Rock – Chapel of the Ozarks, reception at Top of the Rock Wine Bar & Event Room and rehearsal dinner at The Worman House. Erin Schroeter was our amazing wedding planner and go to gal for everything at Big Cedar. She is so knowledgeable about the whole process down to the very last minutes before you walk down the aisle. She also provided us with a vendor list that helped us choose an awesome photographer, cake baker and DJ. When it came to room reservations they have a whole team that is dedicated to rooms and reservations. Everyone was so nice to talk to and helped with deciding on how many rooms to block etc. Our wedding went off without a hitch. I would hands down recommend Big Cedar Lodge. The views and scenery are just amazing but the best part is also the people that help you make your day so perfect.

Can you believe we started planning our elopement the Tuesday before our Wedding? Courtney and Julia at Big Cedar Lodge Events helped plan my "Friday at 5" wedding and it would not have been as wonderful without them. It truly was stress free. Flowers were beautiful. Cake was delicious. Food was wonderful, too! Views were amazing. My husband and I were able to enjoy our special day without worry. Thank you, Big Cedar!
