Wright’s Mill Farm has weddings down! Between they’re prompt response for any questions we might have had, the upfront pricing, the guidebook, we were left feeling like we could tackle this wedding with no issues! But the real reason for that is the people! Bri is amazing, there isn’t anyone else I could imagine to trust to run the show like she did! Curt always had an answer for any question we came up with, Krissy was amazing, she paid special attention to my elderly grandparents, and they have been raving about her since the wedding!

We recently had a wedding rehearsal dinner at Gallifords. We are not from the area and the wedding venue gave us a list of suggestions for the rehearsal dinner. We tried several other venues but was most impressed with Gallifords. Initially we were skeptical about having the event at the zoo. Gallifords was the most accommodating of any other restaurant. The private function room came with a private patio with views of the zoo. We had three staff members take care of our event. The food was outstanding. The staff was beyond outstanding and made the event even more special.

From the moment we started planning our wedding at Powder Hollow Brewery, the team there was incredibly attentive to our every need. Kenzie, the event coordinator, was super accommodating and always checked in to see if we needed anything. The venue was also very affordable, and they provided all the tables, chairs, and buffet supplies we needed, which made the event planning process much smoother. In fact, they even let us come in the night before to decorate the space, which was a huge help on the day of the event. The bridal shower we held there was fabulous, and there were several other events like music and a book fair happening during our party, but Kenzie handled it all beautifully and we and our guests had a wonderful time. We couldn't have asked for a better event venue!
