“We enjoyed everything about our experience with Port 393. From the very beginning when the owners were so welcoming during our tour to the very end. We especially loved having meetings every month starting 6 months before the wedding. That was super helpful with planning. I would recommend the VIP or VIP package which include those meetings and a coordinator (and it’s very fairly priced). We went in not wanting to bring in our own decor so it was super helpful to be able to rent from the Charm Decor house. The decor turned out beautiful. We also loved not having to find our own bartending service since Port 393 provides it. The bartenders were great and there was never a long line, even with 170 guests. We were able to choose from 12 caterers which was also great because some venues really limit the amount of caterers you can choose from. The Cove House (getting ready house) was a big reason we chose this venue. It included a shared kitchen for groom’s party and bride’s party then separate areas for girls getting ready and guys getting ready. The girls’ getting ready area is SO spacious and has 6 salon spots. And lastly and most important, our coordinator, Nature, was amazing. We aren’t the best planners so it was very helpful having 6 meetings with her leading up to the wedding. And the day of, she was there and on top of everything from before 9am to after midnight. We did not have to worry about the timeline running smoothly or any of the decor being set up. She took care of anything we needed. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we can’t think of any negatives. 10/10 would recommend”

The views from the venue are truly unbeatable and made the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Communication was solid once we got closer to the wedding day, and the team was responsive when we needed them. One thing to note is that the cleanup felt a bit rushed, and the doors locked before our time was actually up, which caught us off guard. Despite that hiccup, the staff's attentiveness and the gorgeous waterfront setting made our day feel special.”

We happened to hear about Inisfree in passing and decided to drive over. Peggy and Bruce (the owners) couldn't have been kinder and more welcoming and they remained that way the entire process and continue to be! They have so much passion for Inisfree and it shows. The ground are beautiful and immaculate and they truly love to engage with people. We also rented all ten rooms out at the bed and breakfast for our wedding weekend and got special and intimate time with our friends- from pool time, garden/patio hangs, and delicious home made breakfasts (quiche, zucchini bread, blueberry muffins just to name some of my favorites). Our friends/wedding party who stayed onsite continue to rave about their stay and the guests of our wedding party couldn't get over how beautiful the property is. Everyone loved silent disco!!!

“Choosing The Union Pavilion at Railside Golf Club was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, the team was quick to respond to our questions and made the planning process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, they thought of everything—when we returned from pictures, appetizers were waiting at our table, and they even arranged for us to ride golf carts around the course with our photographers to get stunning shots of the grounds. The venue itself is beautiful, the food was incredible, and the prices were fair compared to other places we looked at. The staff went above and beyond, including a complimentary champagne toast for our head table that felt so special. We can't recommend them enough to couples looking for a venue that delivers on quality, thoughtfulness, and value.”

“We cannot recommend Old Stonegate Farms enough! Melissa worked with us over the course of two years leading up to our wedding, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Her and her husband, Doug, were so incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the entire process. We booked a Friday wedding, which allowed us to unload our decor into the on-site farmhouse the day before, and that extra time made such a difference! Melissa went above and beyond, meeting us at the venue FIVE times in the two years leading up to our wedding so we could measure tables, look through their decor closet (which they generously allow couples to use for FREE!), and brainstorm all the different ideas and possibilities I was considering. As a bride who put so much thought into every little detail, having someone so patient and willing to help bring my vision to life meant the world to me! The farmhouse was absolutely perfect for getting ready on the morning of our wedding, and both the ceremony and reception spaces were everything we could have hoped for. The entire day was beautiful, and we have heard nothing but glowing reviews from our guests about the venue and how wonderful everything was! Melissa and Doug, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the time, kindness, and care you put into making our wedding so special. You made the entire experience feel personal, and we are so grateful we chose Old Stonegate Farms for one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, DO IT! You will be in such good hands. ️”
