Cliffview Resort

My fiancé and I love the outdoors. We were living in Louisville, KY when we were first looking into venues. Cliffview was the first (and LAST) venue we toured! From the moment we got out of our cars at the overlook, we knew it is where we wanted to get married. The view can’t be beat. The reception hall is beautiful as well! Already built in lantern lighting, and gorgeous bridal suite, plenty of parking, and extra rooms sold us. From the moment we booked to the day we left, the Cliffview staff was incredible. We loved the amount of freedom we had while still having their help when needed. People kept saying it was the best wedding they had been to. Thank you Cliffview for making our day so perfect. I highly recommend this venue to EVERYONE especially those looking for a beautiful outdoor view.

This place is affordable and comes with the BEST staff. I can't speak enough praises about Terri and Nancy. My husband and I have the most beautiful weekend, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the Overlook Point where we had the ceremony. All around, very positive experience. Do not overlook this gem in the Red River Gorge area!

We knew we wanted to get married in the Red River Gorge area and we were blessed that Cliffview had an opening in May. The area is downright gorgeous. We had both our ceremony and reception at Cliffview. The reception was held at their reception hall a.k.a activities building. The building is gorgeous by itself and doesn't really need much if any decoration. The Cliffview staff were very responsive to my questions and they initiated contact themselves several times just to check on us. The staff also moved and set up the provided chairs for the ceremony. We had a few issues with Cliffview and some of them may be mostly related to reserving the place during a holiday weekend. Sundays are not cheaper on holiday weekends. We only reserved the space for Sunday instead of the whole weekend. There was confusion about what ceremony site that we had reserved. Apparently certain buildings are attached to different ceremony sites. We didn't discover this until two months before the wedding. And even if the other ceremony sites are not reserved, you can't choose to have your ceremony at another site. The same is true for rehearsing as well. We asked if we could rehearse the day before the wedding at our ceremony site and we were told that we would have to pay a huge fee to do so even though we would only need it for an hour and it wasn't already reserved. We also inquired about renting the huge dining room at the lodge for a rehearsal dinner and were told that we would have to rent out the whole lodge to have access to the dining room. We had already rented the reception hall. We didn't have a private separate room to get ready in but used the bathrooms of the reception hall. We could have rented a cabin to stay in but since it was a holiday weekend that meant a minimum 3 day stay which becomes very pricey. All in all, gorgeous area and buildings, but lots of restrictions and a nickel and dime attitude/feel.

We were very excited to tour the facilities at Cliffview and our experience today did not let us down. From our first phone call Terri was warm and informative. Their guidelines and pricing is upfront, which was something we had questions about when touring other venues. They have many choices from indoor and outdoor ceremony options, lodging, and reception spaces. You will be surprised at how reasonable the prices are and there is something available for even our modest budget! We have toured four other venues in eastern Kentucky and looked at spaces for the same price that were in no way comparable to this breathtaking space. We will be putting our deposit down asap and cannot wait to work with these kind people on our special day! What an experience, especially for our out of town Guests. Definitely check these guys out!
