I love watching the horses frolic while the most stunning sunsets fall behind the reception tent. The venue and catering staff are the best in the industry and treat all couples, guests, and vendors like royalty. And the food is absolutely delicious!

“I can't put into words the experience of working with Annemarie and Jim. They were great communicators from start to finish. We went to the first open house last fall and decided to book for March 2024. It gave us 6 months of planning, and as stressful as it was, the easiest part was working with Annemarie to plan it all. The venue is beautiful and the house is perfect and Annemarie makes sure to make you feel so special and heard throughout the process. All my guests raved about the venue and all said "if this was around when I got married, I would have picked this place". Truly a beautiful experience from beginning to end.”
