“Madison Elyse Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our event. From the very beginning, the chief event planner was incredibly communicative and attentive to our needs. They offered several creative ideas on how to make our event beautiful while still helping us stay within our budget. The space itself is truly stunning - comfortable, clean, and the perfect backdrop for our special day. We were blown away by the level of service and attention to detail provided by the Madison Elyse team. We couldn't recommend them more highly. You won't be disappointed working with this wonderful group.”

“We had the pleasure of having our wedding here September 2024. When I say our experience with this venue could not have gotten any better. Our wedding coordinator, Katie Volkening, was with us every step of the way and never hesitated to answer all of my questions (and there was a lot lol). She was so helpful and responsive through the entire planning process and went above and beyond what was required of her as well as the rest of the BlackBerry Farm staff. The carousel and train ride were such a bargain and were a hit with our guests and made for great pictures! Our ceremony location by the pond was perfect and so serene. Two recommended vendors we used from BlackBerry Farm were, 11th Hour Bartending and Uncle Bub’s and both were amazing to work with as well. We look forward to visiting again on our one year anniversary and taking a train ride with our first child. Just book this venue, you won’t regret it regret it!!!”
