“We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place to celebrate our wedding. The entire property is absolutely stunning, from the ceremony site to the reception space. It’s a truly picturesque setting that made for the most beautiful photos and an unforgettable atmosphere. The day-of staff were friendly, helpful, and made sure everything ran seamlessly. The food was delicious, and so many of our guests complimented the meal. We had a wonderful experience and an incredibly beautiful day, and we’re so happy we chose this venue for our wedding. Just note that it’s not inexpensive, so be prepared for the investment, but the setting and experience are hard to beat.”

“We love working at Full Moon Resort, Its such a beautiful venue! They have the perfect wooded ceremony spot, but also has open fields to use or in case of bad weather you can get married in the barn or the ceremony tent, they also use the barn throughout their weekend weddings for Rehearsal Dinners, breakfast & lunch. & then you have the pavilion which is a beautiful open and airy room that is meant for the reception (its nice that although your guests are there for the weekend you get to save this space for the main event instead of having to repeat a location) They also have lodging for many, with a pool and the grounds are beautiful. We work with Morgan, Nikki, and Kayla (along with many of the other staff members) and they are all aways great to work with, (they know how to work with as a team with hired vendors like us) which makes it more enjoyable and stress-free for all! We are a florist/decorating company and although we have done some elaborate weddings at full moon, you actually don't need to go crazy on florals and decor as the venue itself is beautiful and surrounded by nature.”

“Kismet House was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we booked the space, the owners were incredibly helpful and efficient in their communication, answering all of our questions promptly. Their suggestions for the setup and use of the space were amazing and really helped make our day less stressful. The quality of their work and the overall value was worth every cent - the barn, pond, and every corner of the property provided a dreamlike backdrop that all of our guests raved about. From the ceremony to the sunset and evening by the fireplace, it was magical. I cannot recommend Kismet House enough to any couple looking for a perfect wedding venue.”

“The Ryan Family Farm is a PERFECT place for rustic barn style weddings. The venue boasts so many beautiful features that allow for amazing photo opportunities and having a great time. The Barn itself is amazing with lots of nooks and crannies for privacy but also spacious enough to allow guests to feel comfortable. The Lake makes for a beautiful backdrop for ceremony or photos. It is a very pressure free experience from start to finish. The team there is a pleasure to work with and if there is a service they don't provide they are quick to reccomend someone who can which makes for a very stress free experience!”
