My wife and I were married at the Tack Shed on 8/31/25 and we couldn't have picked a better venue or friendlier venue owners to work with for our big day! From when we first toured the venue to when we left the venue after our ceremony, Christine and Derek did everything we could have asked for or expected to help us feel comfortable and make sure the day went smoothly. They were also quickly up front and transparent with pricing when we first showed interest in the venue, which was very appreciated! On our wedding day, there were some scattered showers and it was overcast, but Christine and Derek ensured everything went smoothly and that the weather ended up being only an afterthought. Before we sat the guests, Derek went out and hand wiped down all the chairs so they were dry for the ceremony, which was very kind. You can tell Christine and Derek both love their venue and take great care of it, while also providing great service and friendliness. We are so happy we made the choice to get married at the Tack Shed, and recommend it to any other couple who would like to get married in the most beautiful place in the US!

We got so many compliments and positive comments about literally every part of the day (everyone LOVED Kodie, Mitch, and Chris)! We are so happy with everything! We came out from MN and Kodie was so easy to work with/correspond with in the months leading up to our big day! We had lots of options to really personalize our day to make it our own. Every guest I talked to was complimenting every part of the day and they all had nothing but positive things to say. We had many guests tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Thank you guys for everything you did for us and we will be forever grateful!

You cannot beat the accommodations, it’s such a unique experience for friends and family and we had so much fun getting to stay a few days before our wedding. There are wildflowers all over the property which just adds to the natural bliss and beauty of your big day. The owner and her family are some of the sweetest, most genuine people and we have kept in touch since our big day. We can’t wait to show our kids one day and create even more memories.
