yesterday Michelle and I went out and checked out a couple possible wedding venues that we are looking into using for next year. Our first stop was at Camp Muffly. A very nice place and we would have access to the entire area where the wine and jazz festival took place. It has a playground, three pavilions including a large grill and restroom facilities.
There is also a pool on the site, so this is also a possibility. We both liked it, it was definitely spacious and provided shade for a hot summer August day. It was quite large which could be a negative thing, as we would have access to three pavilion, but one is quite a distance away from the other two.
The other venue we checked out was Dorsey's Knob, not so much the lodge, but a pavilion on the grounds that has a very scenic view that could be used for the wedding and the reception. Ironically as we drove by yesterday they were actually setting up for a wedding at this location as you can see by the picture.
We liked both places and have considered the pros and cons about both facilities. Dorsey's knob is a large park and is maintained by BOPARC. The restrooms are about as clean as I have ever seen at an outdoor facility anywhere.
There is a lot to do at see around this property.
The place does hold special meaning to me as it was the subject of my Senior Thesis in College, or at least the historical aspect of it all.
For anyone who would want to turn around and venture to the top of the rock, I promise it will be well worth it as it is absolutely gorgeous up there. You feel like you are top of the world, but believe it or not even thought it may look like it from there, it is not the highest point in Mon County.
We still have some time to decide which venue we want to use and at this time both are available for the time period that we want.
