The Pavilion at Nick's Road made our wedding venue dreams come true. We were initially attracted to the venue because we had many out of town friends in our wedding party, so the fact that they could stay on site made the entire weekend an experience instead of just one quick day. Catherine was such a pleasure to work with and I felt very supported by her at every turn. The venue and land itself is absolutely gorgeous, quiet, and peaceful. We were able to have the fire going at night after all of the wedding shenanigans so that our guests could relax instead of being "kicked out by 10" like other venues. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. If we made one right choice throughout the whole wedding planning process, it was to choose this venue. Thank you for a perfect weekend!

Beautiful venue, great service, and exactly what we needed for our big day. If you are like me and have your heart set on an outdoor wedding, this is absolutely the way to go to have a built-in backup plan! Sure enough, it rained through almost our entire reception, but we were able to still be outside and under cover in the arena, where we ended up doing everything from the ceremony to dinner to dancing. We wish we could have used the venue as originally planned (with the ceremony under the beautiful oak tree and dancing on the patio in front of the new outdoor fireplace) but I was so happy to not have to move things completely inside, which we would have had to do at other venues. On top of that, Julia and her husband were great to work with throughout the whole process, they provided and offered a lot of what we needed from tables and chairs to decor, the bridal suite and groom’s suite were wonderful comfortable places to get ready, and the horses added just the right fairytale touch.

I honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue than Waverly Estate. There’s no venue like it that gives you the flexibility of coming in on Friday & staying until Sunday. We had no worries about clean up after the reception or scrambling the morning of between a hotel & the venue for getting ready. On top of all of that, the all inclusive package that Waverly has is NEXT LEVEL. I didn’t have to search for vendors because Waverly had them already available & built into my package. It was an absolute dream to have one less thing to stress about. Their coordinator, Rachel, is absolutely amazing too. She answered every question I had & was the best cheerleader for us on wedding day. She had everything completely organized & made my vision come true for our wedding. My wedding was a dream come true, in huge part to the team at Waverly Estate.

My wedding at Healing Green Farms was perfect! We could not have imagined a more dreamy, romantic backdrop. Our day felt like a fairytale. Here we are 1 year later and Healing Green Farms even set up a picnic spot with fresh cut roses for our wedding anniversary. The owner, Janie, was communicative and there for us through every step!
