From our first meeting with Rachel at King Cole Farm, we knew we were in good hands. Rachel was outstanding throughout the entire process - from our initial visit to the day of the event and even in the days after. She always had a warm smile on her face and took care of anything that came up, no matter how big or small. Rachel put us at ease and made the entire weekend a fabulous experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The beautiful scenery where the ceremony took place, the lovely cocktail hour space, and the grand barn doors that the wedding party walked through - it was all an amazing experience. There was plenty of room for the caterer, bar, desserts, late night snacks, and of course, dancing! On the day of the event, we had the pleasure of working with the intern as well. She was so kind, giving rides to the ceremony and back to the cocktail hour and house for our elderly guests. She also helped us with the cleanup at the end of the night. The entire King Cole Farm staff is truly top-notch. I am still getting phone calls, text messages and social media posts that it was the best wedding they have ever attended! I would highly recommend King Cole Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue. We had such a wonderful experience, and I hope to use them again in the future!

There is lots of outdoor space as well as a huge inside space. Bridal and groom suite was spacious while we were there getting ready.

I've shot here a number of times (Zola only let me chose 10 out of 30 pics I wanted to show) and it is fantastic. First, the staff is wonderful as they are attentive and they go above and beyond for their couples. I love to see that because, as a photographer, I work closely with the staff so we can make the couple's day just as they imagined. There are great spots to get photos, just a short distance from the clubhouse. As a photographer, that is important because I want to get the amazing shots the couple wants without a delay getting them to the reception. The sunsets on the river are amazing and they get them ALL year. I've shot there in winter, spring, summer, and fall. You are in great hands with the staff at Two Rivers and you have the potential for stunning wedding photos. I highly recommend Two Rivers for you wedding day!
