The owners have done a phenomenal job renovating this church. It’s the perfect space for hosting a variety of events. I created a custom floral mural in one of the rooms, and Natalie and Michael were wonderful to work for. They are attentive, considerate, honest, have an eye for design, and truly care about the space they curated for future attendees.

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

The Longhouse was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Anna, the coordinator, was incredibly responsive and helpful, even when we had questions late at night. For the price, the venue was above and beyond - the space was beautiful and the team went out of their way to make our day special. The coordinator lit all of our candles, which was such a nice touch, and anytime she heard us pondering what to do, she would jump in with great advice. The only downside was the time limit of 9 hours, but the team was so accommodating that I can't complain when the overall price was so reasonable. My dog was even able to join us, which made the day even more perfect. Overall, I had a really great experience at The Longhouse and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue with exceptional service.
