Absolutely WONDERFUL experience from start to finish! The owners are incredibly sweet and committed to making your event be exactly what you envisioned. We worked with them for our wedding and the view, space, everything was top notch. Extra bonus, they have a little farm on site that you are free to visit if you are interested, just let them know. If you even want donkeys or goats at your wedding, they make that happy too. Thank you so much to the owners and everyone involved to make our special day one to remember.

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding at Henderson Acres this weekend. Let me start off by saying, this venue is Gorgeous, and gorgeous doesn’t even feel like an adequate adjective to even describe. The house- exquisite. The views- unmatched. It’s the most beautiful back drop for any bride and grooms dream wedding. Brett & Crew were involved in every detail. There was no task or request unmet and no detail spared at this venue. They have thought of everything and they were amazing. If you have any concerns about booking this place…. You need to lay them to rest. They went above and beyond and 130 guests were treated like they were at a 5-star resort. Thank you to all the staff there that made our wedding PERFECT. Henderson Acres exceeded every expectation and the site and its views did not disappoint. You couldn’t take an ugly picture here if you tried!!!
