Historic Shady Lane provided excellent communication throughout our wedding planning process. Their coordinator Caitlyn was very good about keeping us informed and addressing any of our questions or concerns. The venue itself was beautifully stunning, with a gorgeous greenhouse and very spacious reception tent. When it rained on our wedding day, they were quick to accommodate and rearrange the setup so our guests could stay nice and dry inside the greenhouse. They also offered golf cart transportation, which our guests really appreciated. While their preferred vendor list had some great options, we ended up finding an amazing makeup artist that wasn't on their list. Overall, Historic Shady Lane contributed greatly to making our special day unforgettable.

I cannot recommend Pine Ridge Farm highly enough for your wedding or special event venue. From my first communication with Kristin, I felt cared for - her professional yet warm demeanor put me at ease. Throughout the entire planning process, Kristin and her team were extremely helpful and detail-oriented, answering my many questions promptly and thoroughly. This allowed me to relax on the big day, trusting the Pine Ridge staff to flawlessly handle every last detail. The venue itself is utterly gorgeous, providing a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and reception. My guests were just as impressed as I was with the lush scenery and rustic-chic barn reception hall. I'm so grateful to Kristin and her excellent team for helping our wedding vision come to life - everything was just beautiful!

First, I want to start off by saying I wrote this entire review and then accidentally deleted it - but I am re-writing the review because I loved the Booking House that much!!!!! My wife and I got married here almost three months ago and we had the most amazing experience. It was the very first wedding venue we toured and we were instantly in love: from the beautiful chandeliers, the large getting ready rooms for both wedding parties, the exposed brick, having the entire venue to yourself, etc - it was stunning and we knew we wanted to get married here! Our main point of contact was Brittany, who was amazing to work with. She was so responsive, had great ideas, and made the whole process so enjoyable and easy. She also provided a list of "suggested vendors" (we booked the majority of their suggested vendors with the exception of hair/makeup, florals, and photography), and their recommendations were 10/10. We also hired the Booking House's bartending team and Day of Coordinating team, which we definitely recommend. Our Day of Coordinator, Aalea, was the absolute best!!! She made sure our drinks were always full, she always had a smile on her face, she hustled around to make sure everything was perfect, packed up everything for us, etc - we literally did not worry about ONE SINGLE THING on our wedding day because we knew we had the best team on our side. Lastly, we had a longer engagement and we were booked at the Booking House for almost 2 years before our wedding. Throughout those 2 years, we went to their Open House and a “signature cocktail” event, which was SO helpful! Not sure if other venues have a “Signature cocktail” event also, but it helped make our day so special as we had unique cocktails on our bar menu. If you're thinking about having your wedding/special event here, pay your deposit and get to planning!!! You won't regret it.

The Barn at Silverstone is hands down the most gorgeous wedding venue with best in class service. I truly cannot express how wonderful this venue is, from the stunning reception barn, to the breathtaking ceremony spaces, the unique cocktail hour space, beautiful scenery, and most of all, the kind and professional staff. Miranda and Kristy are absolutely spectacular - they supported my husband and I throughout the whole process. On the day of, everything went SO smoothly thanks to them. They gracefully guided us throughout the day, making sure we were comfortable and that all of our requests and wishes were taken care of. Our guests raved about the venue all night and so did my husband and I! This was the first and ONLY venue we toured because we immediately knew it felt right and had everything we were looking for. I cannot recommend The Barn at Silverstone enough!! I will always cherish how spectacular they made our wedding 3

We were the first wedding that True Chesapeake had done and they exceeded our expectations. We really had a unique wedding experience thanks to them. Guests had access to an oyster bar right when they walk in as well as an open bar. Planning was easy because almost everything was through True Chesapeake. They set up the chairs for our ceremony, then flipped the room. They set up the bridal party space with drinks and snacks so we didn’t go hungry. Communicating with their team was easy, punctual , and efficient. The food was obviously in house and AMAZING! Everyone said we had the best wedding food.
