If I could do my wedding over again I would do it over and over again at the Barn at Cottonwood. We opted for the Giant Slide, Tractor Ride, Photobooth, Bonfire. In Lieu of a wedding cake, we did pumpkin pie and apple cider donuts provided by the venue. It was beautiful and means a lot to me that this was a family-owned operation. On the day of event, we had several attendants there for us for both the giant slide and tractor ride. Overall, it was a great experience, and I am very happy.

The Barn at Blackberry Farm was the perfect venue for our September 2025 wedding! We stumbled across it when our original venue closed and had to rearrange our plans, and Tara and her team were a godsend. Tara was prompt in communication to us (even when we weren't), and had a great relationship with our vendor team as well, so there was a lot handled behind the scenes that we didn't need to worry about- which was so appreciative! Our guests really loved the indoor/outdoor setting and multitude of activities (the train during cocktail hour, walking around the grounds, the s'more's during the reception), and we had some guests who had some accessibility concerns which were all able to be addressed by Tara and her team. It was a warm on the day of our wedding, so we were worried about how cool the barn was going to be, but it ended up cooling down at night so it was perfect with the large barn doors being open throughout. Would highly recommend!!

We had our wedding at Rosewood farm in August 2025 and it was the most perfect day we could imagine, and lots of that can be credited to the venue and the staff there. Harmony was a huge help during the planning process and made sure we had every detail in line. The new event space is so gorgeous and we had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the venue was. It was so much fun to have our guests walk around the farm and see the animals as well. We also purchased our flowers from Rosewood, they not only fit our budget but they turned out stunning. We were over the moon and we can’t recommend this place enough!!

Amazing, photogenic, the vibe here is relaxed, be who you are, have fun and celebrate life. This amazing huge barn built in 1947 with golden chandelier overlooking the head table is in it's own class. A very unique features of the barn is the second floor overlooking the head table for a gallery type feel. Outside is the flower garden with pergola where the outdoor wedding can take place. Then capping the evening relaxing by the gas firepit watching the sunset with the string lights overhead. Stay, relax and get prepared in your own bridal suite in the three bedroom farmhouse built in the 1890's as the gentlemen get ready in their own groomsmen quarters. One amazing aspect for the wedding package is it’s a standard three day booking. Families arrive on Friday and check out on Sunday. This gives them time to relax and take the whole experience in. Plus the time is spent making their wedding their own. This is the place for imagination and creativity to really shine.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Englebrecht Farm last September and had to change many details last minute due to the pandemic. Chris was extremely flexible and understanding of our situation. He helped us safely plan our dream wedding and made sure everything went perfect for us. The barn is original, rustic and absolutely beautiful. You can really make it fit your vision with your decorations, lights, etc. You get access to the barn and farmhouse for the entire weekend of your wedding which takes out a lot of the stress and time constraints that usually occur. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the people who run it! If your looking for a rustic wedding venue in the area that is just down the road from a brand new hotel and several local businesses for your guests to enjoy, I highly recommend Englebrecht Farm!
