We are Brent and Lorie Cooper and we've been married for 40 years. We have four adult kids, three who are married and two grandsons. Family has always been very important to us and we look forward to investing in yours! We are so excited for you to visit us at The Wooded Knot! We would love to meet you, show you around, and help you prepare for the wedding day of your dreams! Most importantly we desire to get to know you and call you family! We would love to help you prepare for your wedding day, and marriage in any way we can!

The birth of The Wooded Knot comes from a simple vision. The love for family, people, and Jesus. As with any birth, it comes with birth pains and The Wooded Knot is no exception. It has been years in the making. What started as a simple idea for community that would bring family and friends together God has restructured over time and has laid a much larger vision on our hearts. As a society we spend so much time and energy planning one wedding day when in reality we spend very little energy on what comes after. As the honeymoon fades and children enter the home, where do couples and families turn when life gets hard and messy.

As the vision started to blossom and grow it became clear to us the importance of providing resources, and connecting with couples on a more personal level in the engagement period. We want to be a lifetime resource for couples and their families. Our hope is that you will come back and visit with us after the wedding day! Not only do we want to come alongside couples to help create a beautiful wedding day with all the amenities, but we want to be more than just a venue. We want to help couples invest in their happily- ever- after and provide you with resources that will nurture, encourage, and create a beautiful marriage. We offer pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, marriage mentors, and opportunities for couples to grow and connect with other couples in the same stage of life through marriage and family retreats and community. The time and effort put into marriages and families is an investment and we want to provide opportunities to protect your most cherished investments.... your relationships.
