Little Creek Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was incredibly personable, great communicators, and made the entire planning process easy. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a rustic yet elegant charm that required minimal additional decorations. The "something borrowed" room was a lifesaver, allowing us to seamlessly set up and prepare for the big day. The staff was also incredibly attentive and helpful during our rehearsal and on the wedding day itself. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special celebration - Little Creek Barn truly had everything we needed and more to make our day absolutely perfect. Seriously - any photograph taken from the outside, to the getting ready suites, ceremony and reception area - will turn out absolutely beautiful due to the venues appearance!

Though I'm not a bride/couple that has utilized the Civic Center as a venue, I can offer a different perspective on the space. I'm a videographer, and frequently film at the Lima Civic Center. The team there has always been very professional and treated me with courtesy. They've helped out when needed (like when a counterpart needed a quiet place to deal with a medical issue). They make me feel like I'm part of their team when I'm there. I've seen how they interact with wedding patrons and families, and I would not hesitate to recommend the Civic Center to couples. I also think it's very neat and convenient to have the hotel attached. I've seen weddings in several different spaces within the building, including the main convention hall, the theater, and the lobby with tremendous natural light. In short, as a vendor I've been very pleased with my experiences at the Lima Civic Center. I frequently encourage my friends and family to inquire with the venue about having their wedding celebrations there.

We had our wedding at Riverbirch Farms and overall it was a great experience. The staff was kind and responsive throughout the planning process, though we did have to follow up a few times on details they forgot about. When the weather turned colder than we expected on our wedding day, they made sure we had heaters set up so our guests stayed comfortable. The venue itself is stunning and offers excellent space for the price, which was important to us. One small issue was that we paid for an extra hour but didn't end up getting it, so just be clear about timing when you book. We'd recommend Riverbirch Farms to other couples looking for a beautiful outdoor space without breaking the bank.

Brookshire caught our attention when searching for venues for their beautiful ceremony outdoor space and the all inclusive aspects of the venue. Both of those impressed us throughout the whole wedding planning process and afterwards when seeing our wedding photos. Kira was our amazing coordinator through Brookshire and she was very easy to communicate with and helped us plan the details for our big day. Leading up to it and on the day of we felt confident that with her and the staff everything would run smoothly. With Brookshire being all-inclusive it was very easy to pick out the details we wanted regarding cake, centerpieces, linens, food/drink, dj and more because Brookshire had all of those vendors booked for us. We just got to tell each vendor our ideas and then they took care of the work making it come to life at Brookshire.

All of our guests were impressed with the food quality, the outdoor and indoor space along with the smoothness of how the wedding day ran.
