“As a DJ for many weddings at Full Moon Resort, I am continually impressed by the team’s professionalism and genuine commitment to both couples and vendors. From the owners to the coordinators and support staff, everyone upholds exceptionally high standards while maintaining a warm, personable, and pleasantly laid-back approach that truly puts people at ease. Their communication is clear, friendly, and steady throughout the planning process, which gives couples real peace of mind. With a full team invested in every detail, they help couples navigate any unforeseen situations and coordinate seamlessly with my DJ team and all other vendors. Their multiple on-site locations accommodate weddings of all sizes, and their beautifully maintained grounds and high-quality facilities create an ideal backdrop for any celebration. Even better, they have reliable backups for everything, ensuring the day runs smoothly no matter what. As a DJ, I especially appreciate their teamwork and attention to detail—whether it’s thoughtfully crafting and adapting the timeline or being attentive to the physical environment and atmosphere. I highly recommend Full Moon Resort to any couple seeking a dedicated, well-organized, and truly exceptional wedding venue.”

““How did you FIND this place?!” We heard this from our guests all night long. It felt like we’d discovered a secret garden, and everyone was desperate to know the story behind it. We got married at Black Walnut Farm in the fall of 2024. It was the first venue we visited, and we knew it was "the one" the moment we stepped out of the car—even before seeing the full extent of the work that has since gone into it. Owners Sarah and Jim have created something truly special; you can feel the heart and soul they’ve poured into the property while beautifully maintaining its historical integrity and charm. Getting to witness the venue’s progression in the months leading up to our wedding made us appreciate the sheer passion and hard work they pour into every detail. Sarah and Jim's support made all the difference. Because of the diligence they showed throughout our planning process, we felt entirely at ease when the big day finally arrived. We knew we were in excellent hands. If you’re on the fence about the full weekend package: do it. Beyond allowing us to feel completely at home, it gave us the space to host welcome drinks on the grounds as a “sneak peek” for our guests, while keeping the ceremony site and the barn under wraps for a big reveal the next day. The day after our wedding, we had the whole place to ourselves when our loved ones left and we wandered the enchanting grounds with our dog, basking in the warmth of all the love and joy we felt. Black Walnut Farm is a unique, deeply human venue. We couldn't have picked a better place to start our lives together.”
