My husband and I did the micro wedding package and it’s the best thing we did! We got to pay one price and have a small intimate wedding and didn’t have to do anything besides show up and bring food/drinks! They decorated absolutely beautifully, everything I wanted and more. The venue itself is just beautiful. Our guest loved the property and all the animals! The staff was great and very accommodating, and Alison was the best to work with! She’s so very friendly and does everything she can to make your day as special as possible. I recommend Cherry Barc to anyone and everyone!
