From the start of our day to the last light that went out, Pleasant Pastures Weddings and Events was the perfect location for us! They had so many wonderful extras and everything was included in their package price. So many other places want to add everything on, but so much was included in our day making our wedding planning so much easier. The property is stunning with so many gardens, ponds, beautiful grass pastures, animals in the background, the giant old oak tree was definitely the center point and made a beautiful statement. The tent was perfect for our warm day with the breeze flowing through. The pine harvest tables were gorgeous! We were able to use some of their decorations which saved us even more money. The yard games were super fun for our guests. The grain bin bar was so much fun! The antique horse carriage and Mahagony tree swing made for stunning pictures. The Jennings family and staff were so kind and helpful every step of the way. They even let us bring our dog on the property (on leash of course) and we were able to bring our campers to stay a couple nights. The campfire was an added fun bonus for the wedding party. So many wonderful, fun, down to earth features. You will definitely feel like you are home on their property! This was the perfect location for us and we were shocked at how much was provided for us in the price. So many personal details!
