    Green Acres Event Center was the perfect choice for our wedding. Their communication was direct and easy - we could reach out anytime with questions and they responded promptly. The venue itself is beautiful, with a lovely outdoor ceremony space and elegant indoor reception area. But what really made our day special was the fantastic staff. They worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the last dance. Our guests raved about the delicious food and attentive service. We're so grateful to the Green Acres team for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

  • Green Acres Event Center is absolutly stunning

    We had a beautiful Fall wedding at Green Acres, made possible through the expert hands of Megan. The event space is beautiful all on its own, including an updated bridal suite, charming rustic barn details and sprawling grounds for extended outdoor space. Leading up to the big day, Megan made sure we stayed on schedule and offered invaluable advice and suggestions. The wedding day felt like everything was just taken care of. She worked with all our vendors and coordinated everything seamlessly. If I had the opportunity to do the day all over again, I would certainly come back to this venue and work with Megan again. I would probably be less nervous, though… knowing everything was truly taken care of.
