"We had our wedding in October of 2024. Coal City Bluff is amazing! Desta (the owner) is the best person ever! Prices are great, and you get a lot! We were in contact on and off with Desta from the moment we booked to even after our wedding. The venue is beautiful and we have amazing photos!"
— Courtney, Married in October 2024
"I had the pleasure of being invited to a most memorable wedding this weekend. Coal City Bluff is the most unique and beautiful wedding venue I've been to. Desta and her husband own the property and saw to all the little details to make this wedding so wonderful, plus they are two of the nicest people you can ever meet. I would not hesitate recommending Coal City Bluff to anyone who is looking to make memories of a lifetime."
— Robert, Wedding Guest in 2024
"We had our 20-year class reunion here and we had a blast! The owners have done an amazing job with this gorgeous venue. They have mastered where rustic meets elegance. This venue not only sits on a bluff with a view to die for, but it also hosts cabins for rent and so much more! The planning is smooth, and hospitality is top notch, and the continued love they pour into making it better and better is glowing! This is where I will get married and where I refer to all my friends and family!"
— DCHS Class of 2003
This venue is absolutely beautiful! And the view is breathtaking! The owners, Desta and her husband are incredible to work with! She will do everything for you if you don’t know how you want to decorate for your occasion. She asks your opinion on everything before she does it. She is so sweet and wants the best for you. You will gain a friend after working with her. I would highly recommend her. And if you want to rent out her cabin for your occasion, I recommend that too. It’s homey and comfortable. It has its own heating and air setting so you can set it to what you want, and it has a giant TV. Would highly recommend this venue!

For our daughter's second birthday party. we knew we wanted to have her party somewhere special. Coal City Bluff was more than we could have imagined. It's a beautiful venue that can suit any decor or style, with plenty of room to host a number of people, while still allowing you to keep connected to your guests. The owners, Jeremy and Desta, are the most honest, down to earth, and genuinely friendly people you'll ever find. They really want their guests to enjoy themselves, and go above and beyond to accommodate everyone's needs. We loved Coal City Bluff and have recommended them to friends!
- Amanda, Celebrated a Birthday in 2018
I just had my wedding here and I can’t explain how beautiful it is, the pictures don’t do it justice. The owners are super helpful and friendly they will do absolutely anything to make sure you have the best experience. I highly recommend Coal City Bluff, Desta Sims is absolutely the best hands down.
- Kendra, Married in October 2019
My husband and I had our dream wedding at Coal City Bluff in September 2016. This venue couldn't be more perfect! The bluff view is breathtaking and is perfect for pictures. They also have a bridal suite for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in. We highly recommend Coal City Bluff for any wedding or event! Their customer service is amazing as well!
