This venue was absolutely incredible. Made all of my bridal dreams come true! I don't think you will find a more beautiful barn venue anywhere (and the bridal suite - UNREAL), but that isn't even what did it for us. Lexi and her family were the greatest unexpected blessing. Lexi was so kind to us from the very beginning of choosing Grant Gables as our venue, and working with us as we asked questions and got closer to the wedding day. Her whole family helped us all weekend and we considered them family the whole time. I don't know what I would've done without them, and will be thankful for them every time I look back at my wedding. My husband and I had the most perfect day, and we have Lexi to thank for that.

This space is breathtaking - the quality of their work and the value they provide is unmatched. From the quality of service to the beautiful space, it was easy to make plans with them, and the perfect vibes for our special day.
