My husband and I got married at Slate & Cypress on June 6th, 2026, and it was truly the most beautiful day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and it was the perfect place for our wedding. Our guests kept telling us how perfect the venue was and how much they loved it.

Olga was incredible and kept everything running so smoothly the entire day. We had no incidents or stressful moments, which I honestly did not think was possible on a wedding day. She made everything feel organized and seamless.

All of the vendors Slate & Cypress works with were amazing, and it really shows that they care about creating the best experience for their couples. The entire team was kind, helpful, and professional from start to finish.

I know some reviews mention that Andrew can be a lot at times, but from our experience, it is very clear that everything he does comes from how much he truly loves the venue and wants every wedding there to be beautiful and successful.

We are so grateful we chose Slate & Cypress for our wedding and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team behind it.

We had our wedding at Slate and Cypress in April I have to say it was the most spectacular day! Everything went off without a hitch! Olga and Andrew from start to finish were great to work with and managed all the day off coordination. Major hats off to Olga, we had our date booked for almost two years and she was so helpful and organized with all the planning. It also made the planning a lot easier to have a list of recommended vendors especially coming from out of state. All together 10/10 experience! Highly recommend

I honestly can't put into words how grateful I am to Slate & Cypress, Andrew, and Olga for making our wedding day absolutely the best.

From the very beginning, Olga thought of every last detail and executed everything flawlessly. She made the entire planning process feel organized, seamless, and stress-free. As someone who tends to think through every possible scenario, I can honestly say I never had a single worry the entire event because I knew everything was in such capable hands.

The event staff was incredible. They were gracious, friendly, fun, hardworking, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived until the end of the night, we felt so well taken care of.

Our guests are still talking about the wedding weeks later. They continue to rave about the flowers, the food and drinks, the DJ, and how beautiful everything was. Every vendor recommendation was outstanding, and the entire day flowed effortlessly.

What makes this review even more meaningful is that I was never the person who dreamed about having a wedding. But Slate & Cypress completely changed my perspective. They created the most beautiful, memorable, joyful day for us - one that exceeded every expectation I never knew I had.

If you're considering Slate & Cypress for your wedding, do it. You will be cared for, supported, and celebrated every step of the way.

Thank you, Andrew and Olga, for giving us a day we'll cherish forever.

Would get married here 1000x over!!!! I don’t even know where to begin. I simply cannot recommend this venue enough. Yes, it’s breathtaking, all inclusive, feels like you’re in a movie… but it’s Olga & Andrew who make it all that Slate and Cypress is. They are two of the most kind hearted, most talented, well spoken, intelligent, creative people we have ever met and genuinely call them friends today. Every single part of our planning experience we felt as though we were the only wedding they were planning because of the consistent dedication to our day. I hope and pray my siblings utilize this venue for their wedding one day because of our experience there. “Wedding planner” is not appropriate enough for everything they did for us. Using this venue means being heard, respected, appreciated, and having people who are fully focused on YOUR day. Every single step will feel seamless with Andrew and Olga and their incredible vendor teams. Every guest told us just how beautiful the wedding venue was and how it was the BEST wedding they had attended for looks, music, food & staff. Trust them & say yes to this beautiful wedding venue that feels out of this world beautiful! I promise you that you will not regret it!!

Slate & Cypress made our dream wedding come to life! Andrew and Olga were so wonderful to work with and made planning a wedding a smooth process. I’ve always heard that planning a wedding can be such a stressful event, but it doesn’t have to be at least not for the bride and groom if you pick Slate & Cypress! With the in-house option, it was easy for us to choose vendors who would turn our vision into a reality. Olga was very organized in the planning process and her experience helped us easily make decisions. The venue is beautiful with several photo ops. Their Chef provided amazing food and their DJ kept the night upbeat with his music. The florals and cake were even better than how we imagined. We were very pleased with the photographer and videographer they recommended and even received a sample of photos within a week of our wedding.
I cannot say enough great things. Olga & Andrew exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them.
