Worsell Manor could not have been a more perfect vendor for us! From the time we toured in September 2023 to our wedding in September 2024, there was constant communication and helpfulness with the staff there. We were required to have a day-of coordinator, and were so happy we picked one of the staff members at Worsell: Ashlee. We stayed at the house on the property with our wedding party and it was perfect. The staff at Worsell were extremely helpful day of - everything was done behind the scenes for us which was great for us so we didn’t feel stressed. I wish we could do the day all over again!

Originally a cow and poultry farm, the previous owners had run the property as a winery before Rick purchased it in May of 2017. After seeing the property, its luscious landscape, and the rustic charm of the original buildings, Rick had a vision. He saw the property transformed into a modern, chic space that maintained the history and character of the original farm. More importantly, he imagined bringing others’ visions to life with a beautiful and unique setting for weddings and private events.

My husband and I had our wedding at Rosewood Farms on 12/2/23 and it was nothing short of amazing! Rosewood linked us with incredible vendors such as our wedding planner and catering company, and thought of every last detail for us. The grounds were breathtaking and set up for any type of weather. The staff was super helpful and responsive. We used their Photo Booth at our reception and loved it. We received our photos back promptly on a flash drive and well as a book with printed copies with handwritten notes from our guests. So many people ask us where we got married because of how beautiful it looked and were so proud to say it was at Rosewood Farms!
