From the start of our day to the last light that went out, Pleasant Pastures Weddings and Events was the perfect location for us! They had so many wonderful extras and everything was included in their package price. So many other places want to add everything on, but so much was included in our day making our wedding planning so much easier. The property is stunning with so many gardens, ponds, beautiful grass pastures, animals in the background, the giant old oak tree was definitely the center point and made a beautiful statement. The tent was perfect for our warm day with the breeze flowing through. The pine harvest tables were gorgeous! We were able to use some of their decorations which saved us even more money. The yard games were super fun for our guests. The grain bin bar was so much fun! The antique horse carriage and Mahagony tree swing made for stunning pictures. The Jennings family and staff were so kind and helpful every step of the way. They even let us bring our dog on the property (on leash of course) and we were able to bring our campers to stay a couple nights. The campfire was an added fun bonus for the wedding party. So many wonderful, fun, down to earth features. You will definitely feel like you are home on their property! This was the perfect location for us and we were shocked at how much was provided for us in the price. So many personal details!

The venue itself is a huge, spacious space with great lighting that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. They were also incredibly helpful with all the last minute details that come up when planning a wedding. On top of that, the Braham Event Center is a non-profit organization that gives back to the community, and their pricing was very reasonable for the high-quality space they provided.

Al and Lyndsey are the best! Even decorating the main ceremony site after I had changed my mind at least 3 times or more. I am so thankful for them, they put out my 200 candles and walking down the aisle was everything I wanted. The grounds are so beautiful, the work that has been put in really shows. It's really a no decoration required, so anything added just gives it that extra special touch. The Atrium is really the best venue a couple of nerd, who wanted a DnD wedding could want. Wedding dreams came true!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We arranged our son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner at Blackwoods and I cannot say enough about what a positive experience it was. The room was spacious (we had close to 51 people) and the staff was kind, professional and available to help with anything we needed. We had a buffet style dinner and our guests commented on the prime rib, saying it was "the best they ever had." Blackwoods staff made the start of our wedding weekend such an enjoyable experience. They easily accommodated us with our "slide show" presentation of the bride and groom and our musical guest which we brought in for dinner music. I would highly recommend them and thank them for the great experience.
