We booked the Morris Estate for our wedding venue. We chose the Chapel and tent package and had 110 guests. It was the most perfect beautiful day 9.18.2026. Our coordinator was Jen and she was absolutely amazing, she only came to me once to ask a question and everything else she took care of. She helped with decorating, timeline, she bustled my dress. There really wasn’t something she couldn’t do. Nate was extremely helpful and charismatic you can really tell he loves his job. Everyone’s favorite part… the food. We chose brie bites, bacon wrapped chicken, and pretzels with cheese for our appetizers. Absolutely delicious. They delivered them by walking around to guests it was perfect. Then for dinner we chose the Filet and stuffed chicken. People were coming up to us all night raving about the food and how it was actually warm when they set their plate down which never happens at large events like that. To our knowledge not a single thing went wrong for our day. We did not expect perfection but that is exactly what we got. The only complaint we had was that our day of coordinated switched 3 times which led to some miscommunication but Jen was very thorough and made sure she had everything correct in her notes. Everyone working the event was so kind. Thank you Jen, Nate, and the Morris Estate family for making our day the dream we have always wanted.

This was my 2nd time to stay at the Morris Estates. I brought my family this time & we had both cabins & 2 rooms in the River House. Beautiful accommodations & the property is breathtaking. We had a photographer come & take family pictures outside & they should be stunning. Highly recommend the Morris Estates!

This is an awesome and relaxing place to stay. My wife treated me here for Father's Day and we really enjoyed it here. The landscaping is beautiful our suite was magnificent. We had a pool and hot tub but unfortunately we didn't use it because of the constant rain that but overall the host Sydney was very helpful and friendly. I wish I could have stayed more than one day but I'll definitely be coming back. Everything is always so neat and clean. The property is very well maintenance and taken care of. When I stay somewhere the Morris Estate is an example that's meets all my expectations love it. 👍👍👍 (Tay)
