At the end of June 2025, my daughter held her wedding reception at Historic Jasmine. (We had purchased the Weekend Destination package, so my daughter and MANY of her friends enjoyed overnights at Historic Jasmine on Friday and Saturday with the main event held on Saturday.) If I could rate Historic Jasmine with 100 stars I would! From Day One of inquiring about Historic Jasmine, its manager, Ashton, was absolutely FANTASTIC! He remained that way throughout the ENTIRETY of the process as well as AFTERWARDS! Ashton's replies were ALWAYS incredibly prompt and thorough. He picked up on "implied tasks" and provided responses to those as well. He provided input to questions I asked that had nothing to do with Historic Jasmine but with weddings and receptions in general. He spent plenty of time with my daughter and me working out the details. He was ALWAYS willing to help and he always did! Ashton is the face of this family-run business. His fine character and stellar attitude epitomized that of his mom, dad, and brother who work so diligently behind the scenes, most often without notice. I am not exaggerating when I say, "The entire family is AMAZING, truly amazing!" (When I met the dad and brother, I felt as if I were speaking with Ashton! :)) Without doubt, Historic Jasmine reflects this family's time, effort, and attention to create a PHENOMENAL venue! It is a STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL place, outside and inside! GORGEOUS, VIBRANT landscaping surrounded by woods outside - historical and nostalgic decor inside mixed with modern conveniences (to include abundant bathrooms) - are at the ready to warmly welcome guests. Our caterer - Edwards Catering - was thrilled to learn we had contracted with Historic Jasmine. He has catered there for more than 15 years and greatly appreciates its setup for his services. Speaking of food, I am reminded that my daughter and her friends were pleasantly surprised to find coffee and breakfast items awaiting them in the kitchen in the morning - we did not know such was part of the weekend package so they were thrilled to discover such! I could go on and on about our positive experiences with Historic Jasmine! I will summarize by saying, in my opinion, having checked out a plethora of venues, Historic Jasmine was and is THE ABSOLUTE BEST VENUE! Without question, it is a reflection of the family who runs it, also THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

We won a giveaway for this venue and had no idea what to expect- but the owner, Logan, walked us through everything and helped deliver a wedding we will never forget! Logan is very helpful and communicative. The venue is rustic, charming, and quaint in all the best ways. The views are breathtaking- especially at golden hour! The arches and covered spaces are easy to make your own with decor and provide the perfect backdrop. The get ready space and parking is not ideal, but they have come such a long way in a short amount of time and continuing to make improvements every day as a brand new venue! I’d definitely recommend Bentwood Farms for your wedding.

From start to finish, our experience with the Gala was incredible. In a competitive and expensive industry, the Gala 417 stands alone in its food quality, lovable staff, and dedication to its clients. During our planning process, the Gala staff was responsive and courteous even when we had some off the wall ideas. They love to support creative visions and help you make your vision come to life. Early on, we picked up on how comfortable our vendors were to work with the Gala team, which is a testament to their ability to work as a team to accomplish their clients wedding wishes. Weeks after our wedding, we continue to receive messages from friends and family who rave about the venue, food and drink, and staff. We would book again with the Gala 10 out of 10 times, it was one of the first and best decisions my husband and I made.

The Boathouse at Sunday Park provided a stunning venue for our wedding. Kristan Hughes, the event coordinator, was extremely prompt and sincere in her communication, providing detailed responses to all our questions. The natural beauty and spaciousness of the venue, with its gorgeous views, perfectly complemented our wedding vision. On the big day, Kristan made sure everything ran smoothly so I felt relaxed rather than stressed. She brought my dream wedding to life by making sure all the details were organized and set up just as I had hoped. I cannot recommend Kristan and the Boathouse highly enough for couples looking for a venue that will contribute to a special, memorable wedding day.
