“Let me start with this, one of my friend’s is a retired wedding/event coordinator and she said she’s never seen a team as good as the MBR team in her 20 years. The atrium is a beautiful ceremony location, the ballroom is classy and perfect for a wedding bash, their vendors are excellent, and they are just a well oiled machine. They take great notes throughout the process and check in with you, their software platform makes it easy and I just can’t say enough good things about the day of. I had someone constantly checking in to see if I needed something to drink or food, etc. We went down the street for pics and a coordinator came with us and made sure we had water when we got back. 100/10 rating. Also, so many photo opps near the venue.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue, Fishermen’s Inn truly exceeded our expectations! One of the biggest advantages of choosing this venue is that their food and drink are all in-house. This took a huge weight off our shoulders during the planning process, and they absolutely delivered. We received so many compliments from our guests about both the food and drinks. For hors d’oeuvres, we chose the bacon-wrapped dates, sweet potato and avocado bites, bruschetta, and buffalo chicken bites, our guests especially raved about the buffalo chicken bites and bacon-wrapped dates! We also added the mimosa service while we were getting ready, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. The staff set everything up beautifully with cups, juice, champagne, and fruit for garnish, it was so cute and made the morning feel extra special. I am so happy that we made the decision to get ready at the venue! The boys had a great time playing bags and football on the patio while the girls got ready upstairs. Our day of coordinator, Tara, was beyond excellent. She helped us plan every detail down to the minute and brought up things I would have never even considered. She was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire day and night. She struck the perfect balance, always there when we needed her, but never overbearing. I truly couldn’t be happier with her support. The dining experience was another highlight. The dining room is absolutely stunning, the natural light that comes in from all of the windows and the view is stunning! Many guests mentioned how memorable the dinner service was, they present the meals in such an elegant way! We chose the Fishermen’s Inn signature salad, creamy chicken and rice pilaf soup, chicken piccata, and salmon with pineapple mango salsa. Guests consistently told us the food was fresh, served warm, and perfectly portioned. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and offer so many beautiful spots for photos. Since we got married in October, having a strong indoor ceremony option was very important to us in case of bad weather. Fishermen’s Inn gave us that peace of mind. We were lucky to have a perfect 75 degree day and held our dream outdoor ceremony, but I felt completely confident in the indoor backup as well. Our guests loved the outdoor cocktail hour on the patio, and many took that time to explore the grounds and take photos. The landscaping is clearly a priority, the property is incredibly well-maintained, and the fall mums were especially stunning! There was also plenty of parking for guests, which made things very convenient. Another feature we loved is how each part of the day, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, can take place in different spaces. It keeps the experience feeling fresh and exciting for everyone. Fishermen’s Inn truly sets couples up for success with their organized planning process and consistent check-ins. I am so grateful for their support and how seamless they made everything feel. They have truly thought of everything. We cannot recommend Fishermen’s Inn enough, they went above and beyond in every way!”

“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!!”
