This was the venue for our son's wedding this past weekend. I cannot express how happy we were with the venue itself and the phenomenal family owners that went above and beyond to provide the couple their dream wedding. They not only set up for us once, but twice in order to provide the outside wedding they so desired. That took a huge effort, but they did it with a wonderful family team effort. They put so much heart and effort into making it perfect for everyone. We were able to have our rehearsal and reception at the venue and both events were perfect. From the resources that the caterers have available to them to the bride and groom's individual prep spaces, we couldn't have asked for more. We loved it so much, we had to be gently reminded to leave! I so highly recommend The Legacy at Hatcher Farms for any special event!
