“We had our rehearsal dinner here and I genuinely cannot recommend them enough! From our very first contact through the night of our dinner, Tess was absolutely FABULOUS to work with. We booked a semi-private event for around 30–35 guests and were able to drop off a few decorations that morning — a sign, candles, and bud vases with roses. When we arrived that evening, everything was already set up exactly how I had envisioned it. It was absolutely beautiful and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! The entire staff went above and beyond for us. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming and made all of our guests feel so comfortable. The food was fantastic as well! We have several people with celiac disease in our family, including myself, so having safe gluten-free options was extremely important to us. They were more than happy to accommodate us and did an amazing job, which gave me so much peace of mind. What really meant the most to us was how kind Tess was when we ran into an unexpected issue with our wedding venue and our rehearsal walkthrough. She allowed us to use the Maxwell Room to actually rehearse our ceremony, and I cannot explain how grateful we were for her in that moment. She absolutely did not have to do that, and it was just another example of how genuinely kind and accommodating she was throughout the entire experience. Everything from the space, food, setup, and service to the people themselves exceeded our expectations. Tess and the entire staff are genuinely wonderful people who truly care about the experience they give their guests. We are SO thankful we chose to have our rehearsal dinner here and would recommend them a thousand times over for any special event!!”

“From our first conversation, the team at Firefly Lane made us feel heard and supported every step of the way. They stayed in touch before the wedding and answered every question we had without making us feel rushed or uncertain about anything. On our wedding day, they were hands-on and attentive to every detail, making sure everything ran smoothly while letting us just enjoy the moment. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—the space feels open and bright, with a natural beauty that didn't need much decorating.

“My Husband and I got married at Drakewood Farm on 6/28/24. It was the wedding of our dreams! Not only is the property absolutely stunning but Aubrey and the whole Drakewood team are amazing to work with. Being an out of state bride, Aubrey was on top of getting back and answering all our questions leading up to the big day. They also made planning the entire wedding a breeze.
