Pre-Marital Mentoring
At our Cedar Valley wedding venue, we are committed to not only hosting beautiful weddings but also fostering strong and successful marriages. That's why we offer complimentary pre-marital mentoring sessions included in all our packages. With over 15 years of experience in pre-marital counseling, my wife and I are dedicated to helping couples build a solid foundation for their life together.
Our pre-marital mentoring program consists of four one-hour sessions. To ensure that couples have ample time to complete these sessions before their wedding, we require that the venue be paid for at least 8 weeks in advance. This timeframe allows us to schedule and conduct the four sessions, covering important topics that are crucial for a healthy and thriving marriage.
