We held our wedding here on 11/02/24 - Ali and the entire Wurlitzer staff went above and beyond all expectations.

Our guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, and how much they loved the food! Everything about our day was perfect with the Wurlitzer and staff being the biggest reason for that!

The Gallagher is even more beautiful in person. Jenna and her team were so extremely helpful. They not only set up all the decorations to your exact vision, but also take them down at the end of the night which makes it so nice for friends and family to just be able to enjoy the evening and not worry about cleanup. I could not have had a better wedding day, its all thanks to Jenna and her team and their beautiful barn!
