Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Event spaces at this South Florida escape have been designed with the Scandinavian concept of “hygge” in mind, so you’ll find all sorts of touches that infuse the venues with a sense of comfort, community, and warmth.
- Options include a peaceful reflection pond, inviting dining room, and the gorgeous, modern farmhouse-inspired Gathering Place, with its lofty ceiling, sliding barn doors, and wraparound stone patio. Planning an extra-large bash? Buyouts of the entire property are welcome!
- Your rental fees come with a little good karma: They help support Resilient Retreat, a nonprofit whose mission focuses on providing holistic healing programming for those who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
