Awarded Best of Zola
This venue was absolutely incredible. Made all of my bridal dreams come true! I don't think you will find a more beautiful barn venue anywhere (and the bridal suite - UNREAL), but that isn't even what did it for us. Lexi and her family were the greatest unexpected blessing. Lexi was so kind to us from the very beginning of choosing Grant Gables as our venue, and working with us as we asked questions and got closer to the wedding day. Her whole family helped us all weekend and we considered them family the whole time. I don't know what I would've done without them, and will be thankful for them every time I look back at my wedding. My husband and I had the most perfect day, and we have Lexi to thank for that.

Initially, the 62-acre Het Landhuis Estate was part of a 1,000-acre farm owned by the Henderson family who operated a tanyard in the area, making saddles and other leather items. One day a future bride drove past Het Landhuis; she stopped in the main driveway and asked if she could get married there. That conversation changed the course of the estate, and Het Landhuis had its Grand Opening in 2010. Het Landhuis is not your ordinary location for a wedding; this becomes obvious once you visit the grounds and look at the eight different venues the estate offers. Het Landhuis presents you with a magical setting for your storybook wedding!
