We had our February wedding at Camp Aramoni and they were absolutely amazing. Andrea made the entire experience from planning to the day of completely stress-free. The food was amazing, we received RAVE reviews from all of our guests. All of the staff were so kind and professional and made sure our day was completely seamless. The atmosphere in the venue was gorgeous and required minimal decor to achieve the exact look I was going for. I would HIGHLY recommend Camp Aramoni to anyone who is planning an event.

Camp Aramoni is a gorgeous venue with a lot of beauty and history. We hosted our wedding here, and we loved every minute of it! Our ceremony took place outside, while the reception took place inside. The ambiance was perfect, and Andrea was very helpful in guiding us through our planning and making our wedding as perfect as possible. It was a perfect day! We both strongly recommend this place for anyone searching for wedding venues!

Got married here at their venue, Bricks and Stones and also stayed in the campground. Absolutely gorgeous venue, very friendly and helpful staff, and Andrea (our event coordinator) was phenomenal and so helpful! We loved working with her and she made things very easy. The food prepared by the in-house chef was also incredible and I can't recommend the crispy garlic potatoes enough.

This was our first time glamping and we had a wonderful time! Everything was exceptional – the tent, the service, and the food. We stayed in the “Flora & Fauna” tent and it was nicer than most hotel rooms we’ve been in! It had ample space for a comfy king size bed and sitting area and was beautifully decorated and has a large bathroom with a shower with great water pressure, a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge. It was very warm and humid while we were there but that was not a problem at all in our air conditioned home away from home!||All of the staff was very friendly and tentative. They drove us in a 4x4 to our tent with our luggage when we checked in and said we could text them if we ever wanted a ride to the barn (where breakfast and dinner are served) but we didn’t because we enjoyed the short walk on the lovely grounds. The barn is very charming and the breakfast and dinner that were included each night were so delicious!! Also, we ordered a charcuterie board for one afternoon and they set it up on the table in our tent and it was impressive. Each night they texted to see when we would like them to start our bonfire (which was right outside our tent) and we gazed at the stars while we enjoyed the smores they provided.||On Wednesday night they have live music at their venue (Bricks & Stones) so we ate dinner in the barn and they took us by the 4x4 to the venue and we enjoyed cocktails while sitting outside listening to great live music. ||We met one of the owners and he was very friendly and stopped to answer our questions and told us the very interesting history of the grounds (used to be brickyard) and how he and his wife ended up turning it into glamping while preserving some of the historical structures on the grounds. He and his staff made us feel so welcome and comfortable and we can’t wait to return again next year!!

Such a fun and exciting place to visit! The staff was top notch and the accommodations well set up and maintained. We came in the fall with 4 families. There were 8 kids in our group (ages 7 and under) and everyone had a blast. This was the perfect place for our kids to explore and be kids, and the adults had just as much fun. We will definitely be back for more camping fun!

Room was beautiful. Staff was friendly. Food was excellent which was my favorite part. Expensive stay but worth it for the experience.||Sometimes cell phone reception was choppy so it delayed sending them a message until we got a signal and had to wait that extra time for a ride to the main hall. There should be a better way to go about that.||We ended up having to leave early Sunday morning due to a work obligation. We let them know that the day before. I was hoping they could have had some breakfast ready to go for us but they said the kitchen staff would not have the food ready by the time we left which was a bummer because we were looking forward to having it (and also since it was part of the room cost). Would have been nice if they offered something for us to go, even if it was a bagel and some juice.|Oh and watch out for the mosquitoes in the summertime. Bring bug spray.

Such a wonderful weekend! The tents are simply stunning, the food was great, and the atmosphere was amazing! Falling asleep hearing the gentle creaking from the wind, waking up to the birds and the wonderful smells of prairie flora, and playing games both inside and out, taking a break from the world for a few days was just so uplifting! The wedding venue is absolutely beautiful, and the reception hall was gorgeous! I would highly recommend to anyone to take a few days away from the world and spend them at Camp Aramoni!

My husband and I spent two nights here for my birthday and our anniversary. It has been on our bucket list to do for a couple of years and we were so excited to go and experience.
The first night we checked in and wanted to get a drink and sit outside before dinner to just relax and enjoy the view but the bar was closed. We went inside to see if a drink could be made but we were seated for dinner instead. Since the bar was closed the server was running outside to make drinks for everyone and it was taking 20+ minutes just for a drink to be made. Staffing issues Dinner was delicious and we left and went to bed.
Had breakfast the next morning and our table was facing the coffee bar. We had the pleasure of watching the staff argue about who was taking our table (neither wanted to) so again we waited for a while to be helped. We were never offered juice or condiments like the other tables which made us feel like we had done something to turn them off to us. My husband asked me if I had booked on a discounted site … which I hadn’t.
Again we left - the food was good and we decided we were not going to have breakfast the next morning prior to leaving.
Dinner that night was a totally different experience. The staff was friendly and organized. The bar was open and the bartender was wonderful and chatty and made a wonderful drink. I wish this had been the case for the entire time. We left feeling like they have some work to do to charge $1000 for 2 nights. Paying that I expect a certain level of service and consistency that is lacking. Not sure if we would return sadly.
