Mohican Gardens & Conservatory was a wonderful venue for our wedding. While their communication wasn't the quickest, they were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process with my last-minute decisions. The venue itself was truly breathtaking - the gardens and conservatory provided a spacious and comfortable setting that set the perfect backdrop for our special day. They even went above and beyond by providing a golf cart to transport my grandparents around the property, which was a huge help. I would highly recommend Mohican Gardens & Conservatory to any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue with a dedicated staff. My favorite part was having private vows at the dock. Besides the music from the DJ, my husband and I were in complete privacy.

If you are looking for a venue that is not only beautiful, but will make all of your dreams come true, look no further. I would give Bloom and Bower a 10 out of 5 if I could. The value of the venue is extraordinary. It was so wonderful getting to sleep on site at the venue since it is a bed and breakfast, we even had our whole bridal party stay on site and had our rehearsal dinner there. It was so great to not have to leave the property all weekend and not worry about forgetting anything because it was all right there. The greatest part of this venue is the owners themselves. Margaret basically acts as a day-of coordinator and goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is exactly how you envisioned. She fixes any problems that arise and if I had a crazy idea her response was always, "let's make it happen." Margaret worked wonderfully with all of our other vendors as well. She called each vendor the week before the wedding to make sure everything was ready to go. She also had so much good advice for life and marriage. The venue also had staff that set everything up and tore everything down, which means our bridal party and family got to enjoy themselves. The staff was so kind and helpful and made everything look exactly like my vision. I didn't even have to hire a florist because Margaret and her staff built all of our centerpieces and ceremony florals from their stock of florals. When you book with Bloom and Bower you also have access to a HUGE (and I mean huge) number of decorations that Margaret has curated, meaning you can spend your money on other aspects of the big day. The communication with the venue was excellent. They always got back to me in a super timely fashion and answered all of my questions (there were a lot of them). The professionalism of Margaret, Thomas and their staff really showed. And all of this didn't break our bank. The gardens are also absolutely gorgeous, as well as the gazebo and inside of the reception barn. I highly, highly recommend getting married here.

White Birch Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding vision. The location was absolutely gorgeous, with a rustic and romantic vibe that made our day feel so magical. Our first look under the willow tree was truly special. While the venue does provide a day-of coordinator, we would suggest getting an additional coordinator as we felt there was some unorganization and lack of communication from the owner that caused some added stress on the day. Overall, the venue was beautiful and we're so happy we chose it for our special day.

Little Creek Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was incredibly personable, great communicators, and made the entire planning process easy. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a rustic yet elegant charm that required minimal additional decorations. The "something borrowed" room was a lifesaver, allowing us to seamlessly set up and prepare for the big day. The staff was also incredibly attentive and helpful during our rehearsal and on the wedding day itself. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special celebration - Little Creek Barn truly had everything we needed and more to make our day absolutely perfect. Seriously - any photograph taken from the outside, to the getting ready suites, ceremony and reception area - will turn out absolutely beautiful due to the venues appearance!

The property is stunning, and the owners, Amanda and Jesh, are so welcoming, kind, helpful, and overall just the most incredible people. Amanda was always checking in with us from the time we first visited the venue until we were cleaning up the morning after the ceremony and helped us every step of the way. She kept us up to date on any offerings they had available and was quick to offer additional services if she felt it would make the day better.
