Mini Acres Farm was the perfect venue for our South Asian wedding. Laura was prompt and kind in her communication, and she was very accommodating of our needs, finding the solutions we were looking for. The venue was the first and only one we saw, and we knew it was the one - the magnolia tree, the large swings, the granary, and the fountain add so much character to this already beautiful blueberry farm. The bride and groom's suites were welcoming and had plenty of room for our families to rest and get ready. Ours was a South Asian wedding, and this venue gave us the canvas to make it our own!
