Blown away!!

Me and my now husband cannot stop talking about how happy we were to have gone with the west branch angler resort/ river run restaurant as our wedding venue!! They blew us away for our wedding weekend. Here the celebration is not just one day they turn the entire weekend in to your wedding and know how to throw a fantastic event. They even let us stay a day early from when all of our festivities were to begin which was perfect being able to just kick back before it all began. All of our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful their cabins were, how the food was and how much FUN they had the entire weekend. It was so great getting to be able to celebrate with so many friends and family members here for not just one day but two whole days!!! Any time we needed anything the staff were all so accommodating even at 11 pm when our propane heaters ran out. Matt and all of his staff did a fantastic job! I would recommend this resort to anyone who is getting married or just looking for somewhere to vacation close by.

Amazing Venue

My husband and I got married on October 14 at West Branch and had the most beautiful, perfect, and fun wedding weekend imaginable. We started our weekend off with a very smoothly run rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at the venue. We then moved to the bonfire which was such an amazing, memorable experience. It was a very cold weekend and the fire kept everyone warm and allowed us to spend extra time together even in the cold. The ceremony and reception on Saturday ran flawlessly, even with some changes we had to put in place due to weather. I gave Matt and the crew all of my decor on Friday and trusted he would make everything beautiful (and they did not disappoint!) There was incredible attention to detail throughout the entire weekend. My husband and I can't recommend Matt and the West Branch crew enough. They made the entire planning process so laid-back and easy. Thank you so much to Matt and the team at West Branch Angler Resort!

Amazing Wedding and Amazing Staff

I have nothing bad to say at all! Matt was very helpful and accommodating and made me feel calm and relaxed the entire time. I was always able to ask him questions or run ideas by him. The food was amazing, the staff were helpful and the venue is so so beautiful. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing the day of, everything went so smoothly and calm I got to enjoy every second. And Matt was so great with my parents and basically eliminated any drama between us- which is way above and beyond! Can’t recommend this place enough.

Having played at hundreds of venues over 3 decades I can say with complete confidence that West Branch is a true stand out location for weddings on so many levels. The food was amazing, the location was picturesque, and Matt and the entire staff have that calm confidence that really makes everyone feel at ease knowing everything will exceed expectations. And they do! If you're looking for a non-traditional venue for a reception or an extended wedding weekend, this is the place. You'll feel like you're way off the beaten path, but it's less than 5 minutes off Rt. 17. Well done!
