Zion Springs

Elijah and I got married here on 3/15/2025 as winners of their first ever #BestDayEverGiveaway and I write this review with a box of tissues by my side because my heart is so full and I cannot stop crying 🥹 So apologies for any typos. First off the Tigges family is so warm and amazing. The weddings that they host are like no other. The ceremony was stunning. Sophia did amazing with our flowers! Our DJ, Mr. Jon Tigges himself, was amazing and kept the party alive all night. Sophie the baby sitter kept the kids entertained and safe in the play room. The food, prepared by head chef Anna Tigges and the Zion Springs staff was sooooooooo good! We were able to select appetizers and entrees that spoke to our crowd, and even a few custom food requests from our personal journey. Nate and the bar team kept the drinks flowing for all of our guests. The decor was just gorgeous. Our table settings was so pretty. The venue itself is just plain perfect. Plenty of space to connect and have fun. Zion Springs arranged all of the major services using their well tested process and our phenomenal Event Coordinator Laura made everything so easy for us. Laura, we will always love you. Thank you for such an amazing night. It was more than we could have ever asked for. We have a heart full of gratitude for this place and all of the people here. Thank you thank you thank you. We will be back soon!! 🩷

We worked with the event coordinator at Zion Springs by phone to get an estimate for a weekend day wedding at Zion Springs with 149 people and received the attached email. The final total pricing was $50,847 as shown in the attached. We were also told that an entire weekend wedding would be about $12,000 more. These estimates were within our budget so we scheduled a tour. At the end of the tour, we were interested in reserving a date and were informed that the price estimate for a weekend day wedding with the same selections and number of people was about $62,000, an $11,000 increase! Likewise, the entire weekend price increased to $75,000. When asked about the difference Zion Springs response was that there must have been an “error in their system”. I asked if they would honor the previous estimate. The owner (Jon) said no and that he could easily sell that date to someone else. I then asked for a print or email copy of the new higher estimate with our selections and was told that they were not able to provide that. We were referred to their website estimating tool. This tool requires the input of about 10 variables including selection of services and number of guests for multiple different events. Since the outcome would be different for different selections, I again asked if they could provide a written estimate for our specific selections so we would all have a record of what was selected and the final price. At that point I was told that they were not able to provide a written or electronic copy of our specific estimate and we were pressured to put a deposit down immediately or the date we wanted would be “gone as soon as we walked out the door.” The “bait and switch” with the pricing and the inability to provide a written estimate was of concern so we decided not to use this venue. Others considering this venue should be aware of Zion Springs’ pricing inconsistencies.

The property is beautiful

Lovely rooms and absolutely stunning grounds. Arrived on a moonlit evening and went for a walk around the sloping lawns.

My only complaint is that the rooms have no soundproofing. I could hear the conversation in the next room so clearly, I almost went around to their door to show them where to find the sheets for the futon. Speaking of that, the futon was quite hard. Though as a back sleeper, I made do.

Zion Springs Review “Your wedding was the best wedding I’ve been too” That was the compliment we constantly got after our big day from many of our friends and family. And let me tell you, my friends have been to many weddings, so for them to say that ours was one of the best is a high rating. There were so many parts that made our wedding amazing and the credit goes to Zion Springs. Let me tell you why, 1. PACKAGE DEAL — A big part of why our wedding was so successful was because how well it flowed. The Zion Springs team is deeply mindful of creating a magical day. They purposefully start the ceremony right when the sun is setting so that when the bride goes down the aisle, the lighting is PERFECT. They set the dances and speeches after dinner so that there is full attention on them. And so much more. And the team works seamlessly together to get everything going smoothly. That is what you get when doing a package deal rather than getting random vendors and try to make them work together. 

As the bride, I didn’t have to worry about what would go where and what needed to be done. Zion Springs handled it all. And that gave me the freedom to just enjoy the party. 2. CLEAR COSTS — I hate when there are surprise costs and figuring out tip and all that, which is why Zion Springs was so great in this regard. They gave me a clear invoice which I could pay off month to month which included everything. No hidden fees. No surprise bills. It was refreshing to have honest people give me honest costs. 3. AMAZING OWNERS — John and Chris cared so much about making sure we had an amazing wedding. They truly went above and beyond what any owner could do. I felt so cared for. 4. AMAZING COORDINATOR WHO KNOWS HER STUFF — Laura is the MVP. She knows how to pull together an event and handle last minute questions and issues. She is there when you need her, but also gives you your space so you can enjoy your wedding. She is the best balance of both authoritative and relaxed. She is someone you will want on your side on your big day and you can trust she will get things done. 5. AMAZING VIDEOGRAPHERS — The videographers are out here risking their lives, running in the hot sun and almost running into trees, so they can get the perfect shot all while wearing all black outfits. They were so hardworking and got the best video shots I cannot believe how beautiful they were! 6. AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHERS — The photos. The photos. The photos. I haven’t gotten the full album yet, but from what I’ve seen in the sneak peak… my god… my husband and I look like models ya’ll. The visuals, the colors, are so vivid and romantic. And all thanks to Bethany and Doug and their team. Bethany has that fun energy that also makes you feel relaxed enough to be yourself when taking photos. She is sweetness itself. And she knew exactly where to snap the prettiest photos. 7. BARTENDERS — I heard from so many people how much they loved the bartenders. They were friendly, open and energetic. They danced to the music and never let the line get too long. My friends and fam loved them. 8. FOOD — Usually Im disappointed in wedding food because they come out overcooked and bland but not here. We got the beef short rib and salmon and it was so moist and delicious! Ice-cream was served for dessert and the line was instant! But man. The real winner though was the after party tacos. They had it all. Meat. Guac. Chips. Salsa (fancy flavored ones). My aunt was so happy being fed deliciousness before returning home. She stayed until 1am to eat them. Which was surprising because most family leave early at wedding. But the tacos… the tacos keep them around. OVERALL -- I honestly cannot say enough about how great this place was. It’s a beautiful venue and an all inclusive package deal that lets you having a worry-free wedding. Before I found them, I was overwhelmed by the venue search process. I couldn’t believe I had to figure out the prices of the venue, but the caterer, florist, photographer and dj too?? And they all had such confusing prices I wanted to just throw in the towel and not plan a wedding at all. And then I found Zion Springs and they solved all my problems. All I had to worry about was finding my dress and a hair/makeup person and I was set. They had everything else covered and I trusted they would make my vision a reality. Isn’t that what a wedding should be about? Enjoying the party rather than stressing about everything going right? If you pick this place, your wedding could also be ‘the best wedding ever’.

My friends had a wedding here recently and everything was perfect. The food, venue, DJ, stay and team overall were on point. You know the team works well when shortly after pictures or videos are taken they are quickly uploaded to be shared with the party the same day. I’ve never seen a team work this efficiently. Wedding food is always important I had the short rib here and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The after party taco bar was a nice addition. Each of the cabins in the main barn had fast WiFi, AC units and clean bathrooms. Highly recommend coming here if you want a staycation or looking to plan a large event.

Great place, decoration and quiet and clean bedroom. Great place For reunions, weddings or couple escape.

Breakfast could be better

Great/common room was awesome and we appreciated the muffins and rolls that were set out for us.

Would like to tour the site sometime to understand room accommodations a bit better. On line description could be a bit better with added photos. I would not call this room a suite; but I’m sure that is debatable.
