The Barn at Walnut Creek is top-notch. We've had the pleasure of providing DJ services there multiple times. The owners are incredibly easy to work with and ensure all details are on point. Their setup is perfect in every way. Once inside their normal decor is very tasteful. The main room, restrooms, kitchen, and bar are always spotless. Attendants ensure that guests are parked safely upon arrival. This is extremely uncommon for most wedding/reception venues. While we enjoy entertaining all of our clients and their guests, our times are The Barn at Walnut Creek are some of the most memorable. Look no further!

Whitetail Acres Wedding & Event Venue was an amazing choice for our wedding! Their communication style was incredible - they used a convenient wedding portal and always responded to our messages within 24 hours. The venue itself was so spacious and we loved all the little decorative details inside. They really went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, providing bartenders, tables and chairs, tablecloths, and even extra decorations that we were able to use.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Bloom & Bower! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the venue’s stunning beauty. The real highlight, however, was the incredible team behind it. The owners and staff are some of the most humble, caring, and personable people you’ll ever meet. Margaret, who officiated our wedding, was phenomenal! She guided us through every step of the planning process, making it so easy to choose décor from their amazing closet full of options. Seriously, the selection is jaw-dropping! She also provided invaluable recommendations for vendors, checking in regularly to ensure we felt supported and confident. When unexpected rain threatened our outdoor plans, the staff jumped into action, setting up a tent at the last minute. Their commitment to making our day perfect was evident throughout. We couldn't feel more grateful. After the festivities, we enjoyed a cozy night at the bed and breakfast on-site, complete with a delicious breakfast catered just for us the next morning. The staff setup and teardown for you. This meant we could truly relax and enjoy every moment of our day, with zero stress! Thank you, Bloom & Bower, for making our wedding day beautiful and unforgettable! We can’t wait to return for our anniversary celebration!
