The White Crow Wedding and Event Venue was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Kelli and Blake's communication was clear, consistent, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself was immaculately clean, well-maintained, and beautifully set up for our special day. The arches they had available were stunning, and they worked closely with us to ensure we could follow all COVID-19 restrictions while still having a magical wedding. With having to reschedule due to lockdowns, Kelli and Blake went above and beyond to make our wedding day an amazing, safe experience for our family and friends. We feel so lucky to have found the White Crow, as they made the whole process easy, enjoyable, and above all, beautiful. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
