    Green Acres Event center was absolutely gorgeous! It caught our eyes online and we immediately wanted to see it in person! We went and toured, were greeted by friendly staff and showed around the property! From the beauty of the barn on the outside the the gorgeous detailing and sparkle from the chandeliers on the inside all the way to the stunning bridal suite, we knew when we walked through the doors this was our wedding venue! Robyn was absolutely amazing to work with from any questions I had while planning all the way through the day of. She made the day seem seamless and even helped me stay calm in the chaos! I would choose this venue over and over again! Our guests loved it and had wonderful time! The only complaint we heard is that they wished there was a bathroom on the second floor where the dinner and dancing was but other than that we had no complaints! Everyone should consider using this venue!

    Green Acres was an absolute dream for our wedding on May 25th! The barn is breathtaking—rustic, romantic, and full of charm. Our ceremony upstairs felt magical, and the entire day flowed seamlessly thanks to Megan, our amazing venue manager. She truly went above and beyond. The downstairs space was perfect for the cocktail hour, and the bridal suite shed out back was adorable—plenty of room for me and my seven bridesmaids. One of the biggest hits was the fire pit with the s’mores package—such a fun, cozy touch to end the night. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or well-run venue. Green Acres made our wedding unforgettable!

  • Amazing Wedding Venue!!!!

    My husband and I recently got married at Green Acres Event Center, and we can not say enough good things about this place!!!! We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside, and the reception was inside upstairs. Our wedding day was perfect!!! This venue and the wonderful people who work there will always hold a special place in our hearts. The venue and property is absolutely gorgeous, and our guests loved everything about it!!! Robyn and Megan are Rockstars and helped us throughout the entire process!!! They are both very friendly, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and answered any questions we had along the way! If you are trying to decide on a wedding venue, look no further!!! I highly recommend this venue!!!

Everything was set on arrival and taken care of before we could even ask. We would definitely recommend this lovely venue and their incredible staff to anyone looking to host their event at Green Acres.
