The Barn at Shady Grove was the perfect place for my wedding. Shannon and Ken worked with us greatly on a date and price that worked for us. The amenities they offered greatly influenced our decision. Ken is an AMAZING DJ. He kept all of our guests entertained while we were taking pictures. Shannon was great at helping us coordinate things the day of. All around, they were the absolute best people to be working with for our wedding day! I can't appreciate them enough! The wedding venue was beautiful, they have so many vendors that they work with that have awesome prices as well. 10/10 recommend.

We worked with Leticia for a beach wedding down in Gulf Shores, AL, and could not have been happier or more impressed with the work she did to make our wedding day better than we could have dreamed (or planned). Leticia and her team were constantly in communication with us for the 12 months leading up to the big day and were a life-saving resource for every little detail. Last minute curveballs, weather, and crazy family were all handled with grace, patience, and confidence by Leticia and her team. Leticia and her team are amazing to work with, and we would whole-heartedly recommend trusting them to deliver a wedding day which exceeds your wildest expectations, just like they did for us.

Awarded Best of Zola
The team at Tuscaloosa River Market was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was always efficient and prompt - they were always willing to find the answer to any question we had. The quality of their work and the value they provided was great, with cleanliness being top-tier. They went the extra mile, assisting with layout design and being easy to work with when there were slight changes due to vendor needs or weather. I love working with this venue and am always thankful when my clients select this space. I cannot recommend Tuscaloosa River Market enough.

This was one of the best choices we made in our wedding planning! Tune Farm is such a beautiful and historical place that is very well taken care of and maintained. It’s obvious that Lisa, the owner, cares deeply about her property and loves to share it. Everyone at Tune Farm felt like family and made our wedding that much more special.
