Shepherd Run Estate Helped deliver everything We wanted for our Wedding. The Coordinator helped take care of everything so we didn't have to worry about anything except walking down the aisle. We didn't have a big budget and they worked with us. We had plenty of time without feeling rushed. They helped set everything up and made sure the caterer and cakes got set up with no problems. I couldn't have been more thankful for Everything they did. The Venue had great places to take Pictures and the Bridal Suite was much bigger than we thought! My Groom and groomsmen really enjoyed the Wolfs Den also. I don't think i can say enough good things about this place. I can't recommend a better Place! Shepherd Run Estate! Book THEM!
