The Blessings Place was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, the team there was incredibly friendly, genuine, and responsive in helping us plan our special day. Their 9-acre property has a beautiful, boho-romantic, and rustic vibe that felt so perfect for the relaxed, holy atmosphere we were going for. Even though their venue is truly undervalued for all that it offers, they worked with us to host our 2026 wedding there for under 1,000 - an absolute steal! The wife there does catering on and off so you can even ask her to cook for your wedding. Buffet style for under 2000
A Peaceful Place with Purpose
•Verified review
•Appraelle H.•Jul 14
I haven’t hosted anything here myself, but I’ve seen what The Blessings Place offers and know the heart behind it. It’s a peaceful, faith-filled venue that feels like a hidden gem for those planning weddings, retreats, quinceañeras, or other special family gatherings. What really stands out is how intentional the space is. You can tell it was created not just for events, but for moments that matter—where love is celebrated, faith is honored, and families come together. I know Jim and Rosa personally, and they are people who genuinely care about others. That alone gives me full confidence in recommending this place to anyone looking for a meaningful and God-centered setting for their event. If you’re planning something special and want a space where your story will be welcomed with love and prayer, this might be the place for you.

Perfect Venue for Fellowship and Events
•Verified review
•Antonio B.•Jul 12
I didn’t have a wedding here, but I did stay for a week with my wife and son to enjoy the space and also attend one of the men’s fellowship events hosted by James. The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, well-designed, and perfect for all kinds of events or getaways. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones or just enjoying quiet time, the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. James and Rosa are incredible people who truly care about every detail and every guest. I highly recommend this space for anyone looking for a special place to host a meaningful event.
