    The most romantic cave!

    We had a fantastic experience using Lost River Cave as our wedding venue. Be prepared to book very far in advance if you want to use this stunning venue. We booked our wedding date last summer and only had 2 dates to choose from this year, but if a venue is great it will fill up quickly. Our contact Maegan, was very helpful and answered any and all questions that we had regarding planning. Due to the inclimate weather we did have to move the ceremony into the cave, where we had only planned to have the reception. That did create up some hiccups, but it all worked out in the end. If I had to do it all over I would pick Lost River Cave again and again.

    Simply the best venue ever!

    The team at Lost River Cave, especially Maegan, were so incredible and helpful to work with (particularly during these crazy times of COVID19)!!

    I had stumbled across the cave online while looking for a venue and it caught my eye, it was so beautiful and unique. So we planned a tour, my husband and I fell in love with the cave as soon as we saw it. This was the place we wanted to get married, no doubt about it.

    From beginning to end Maegan was the absolute best to work with- from giving us a list of vendors in the area she recommended to keeping us up to date on the latest guidelines/guest limit/etc due to COVID. The entire team helped ensure the evening was a fun celebration while still remaining safe. I can't thank them enough for helping to make our dream wedding come to life!!!

    Lost River Cave's reply:

    Thanks so much for allowing us to celebrate with you and for your kind words. We are so happy to hear that you all had your dream wedding (even in the middle of a global pandemic)! We are BIG fans of you and Mike!
