“We used the Tree Top Room. A little under 100 guests. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful. It’s deceiving because we were wondering how our guests would fit but it was more than enough. It’s also shaded which was perfect for a hot day. Wedding packages are very inclusive and don’t leave a lot for you to worry about. We went with the Ruby package which included 4 passed apps, a cheese and fruit display, champagne toast, salad course, choice of 3 entrees, wedding cake allowance and center pieces for the reception tables(sweet heart table was an extra fee but was reasonable). We added a late night snack station as well. We worked with Janet and had a Day of coordinator, banquet captain and a bridal attendant. The entire staff were absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything went, how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. If you are looking for an all inclusive place that will literally do everything and take away any chance of stress.. I cannot recommend them enough!! They really know what they are doing!”

“Our wedding venue was absolutely stunning and everything I had pictured for our special day! The ceremony site was breathtaking, and it was exactly what I had envisioned when dreaming about our wedding. The house was perfect for getting ready and offered so many beautiful photo opportunities. And the barn was absolutely perfection! I had always wanted to get married in a barn, and I truly could not have picked a better place. The entire property was gorgeous and made such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding photos and memories. My only complaints were that we couldn’t have our rehearsal at the venue the day before, access on the wedding day didn’t begin until 11 AM, and we were responsible for taking care of the trash. Those things did make the logistics a little more challenging, especially on such a busy day. However, those few things aside, the venue itself was everything we could have asked for and more. If you’re dreaming of a beautiful barn wedding with a breathtaking ceremony location and a charming house for getting ready, this place is absolutely worth considering! We are so happy we chose it and will always look back on our wedding day here with the best memories.”
