Two years ago, me and my now husband were looking at vendors and venus. We went to a bridal showcase and we fell in love with everything about this place. All of our vendors were there for us to pick out. Jerry Was there and from that moment I'm the communication never stopped. We had to change our date a couple of times and he accommodated. when I said wanted to come to pick out stuff and the sign paperwork. But we need to bring our son Jerry said bring him along, even let him sign the papers. Even until moments before me walking down the aisle. I knew that everything at the venue would be OK because he communicated with us. Even 2 days before are wedding. It was perfect and it was. More than what we had expected, the staff ,bartender ,the DJ and the Baker was so nice and so sweet. Our family and friends still to this day. Talk about how amazing are wedding was and the food and the music and the desserts. Thank you for making our feel magical

From the beautiful property to the barn this will make your wedding day even more special. Have to give a huge shot out to Kelly the owner, she is the sweetest lady you will meet. She made sure during the whole planning process to be by our sides. If you need to speak to her, she’s right there for you. On our wedding day she made sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot think of one thing that went wrong. She did a fabulous job ensuring everything was set up properly with the vendors. Highly recommend!
