The staff at Tailwater made our big day unforgettable, not only for us, but for our guests too! They took care of every detail, and we felt like fast friends with the staff! I can't recommend them enough for any large event if you want to know it will be done right. Our guests are still raving about the food, the amenities, the venue, and the views of the river! All included photos are by the CoCo Collective, Cortney VanOrden!
Highly recommend

I cannot begin to recommend Tailwater Lodge enough. Jenn was wonderful every step of the way with timely responses to every question and accommodating our requests. Kate and Liberty were phenomenal on the wedding day with assistance, guidance and overall support. They truly did not overlook even the smallest detail. For example, I was not at my seat the moment my dinner was served and a cloche was immediately placed over my meal to ensure it didn’t get cold. Also, a tray of appetizers was provided during dress bustling so we did not miss out on their delicious food. We had multiple guests report it was the best wedding they have ever attended and the food was phenomenal. It was an incredible weekend from the rehearsal dinner all the way through the farewell brunch, Tailwater was wonderful and I would not change a thing!
Wonderful

From start to finish Tailwater Lodge was such a great experience! They are so accommodation and every person on the team was fantastic! The food was incredible (Which you don't hear often at weddings) and I highly recommend Tailwater Lodge for a great wedding experience!
