“MSR was by far our dream venue. Not only are the views and property absolutely stunning, but Scena and Susanne were incredible to work with. Wedding planning is hard and stressful, there’s always something you didn’t think of, but, believe me, Scena already has and has already worked it out for you. A God send Our family and us had so much fun staying here as well. We loved being able to stay for 4 days, wind down with our close family after the wedding, and relive the moments together. It truly makes the weekend more special when you don’t have to pack up and get out the very next day. I could go on and on about how wonderful our weekend was. I highly recommend MSR and working with Scena and Susanne. It’s worth the trust me!”

“Estate Farms is a very beautiful venue. You can do so much with it. I hosted my wedding here in October of 2025 and loved it! Eugene, the owner, is very communicative and was great to work with. Any time I had a question, he would text back right away. Really great guy. The only complaint I have is that the day of my wedding, all the bathrooms broke down and had to direct people to the farmhouse. We let the owner know, he was on the premises, but unfortunately, nothing was done. It was disappointing, but I am very happy with the overall experience. Would book again.”

“We got married at Scribner Bend in June. This venue is gorgeous with tons of greenery and florals which cut down on decor costs for us. It is set up perfectly with a separate ceremony, cocktail hour and reception space. We knew immediately after touring that we would not find anything better! They provided a preferred vendor list which led me to an amazing photographer, florist and DJ who all added to the magic of the day. Paisanos catering was incredible as well. Guests could not stop talking about the pesto tortellini for days after! Their team communicated well and provided a lot of insight and help on the day of. Highly recommend Scribner Bend for your wedding!”

“We used Bridgewood Events as the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was everything I could have dreamt of and more. The ceremony was at the water’s edge of a large pond with beautiful trees everywhere and an absolutely stunning bridge. Our reception was in the barn that you have to see to believe. It is so spacious, clean, and was the best backdrop for our photos. The owners are professional, helpful, very quick to get back to me anytime I had questions, just hands down the best vendor we worked with!”
