The Historic Wakefield Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was outstanding - Brent was so helpful and responsive, making the entire experience stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a unique vintage and classy feel that exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make our day special, providing a beautiful custom "Savannah" hanger when we booked the venue and even arranging for horses to be part of our celebration. When it rained right after our ceremony, we were so grateful for the indoor/outdoor capabilities - the team had a seamless rain plan that allowed us to enjoy the rest of the evening indoors. I highly recommend The Historic Wakefield Barn to any couple looking for a stunning, versatile wedding venue.

My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at The Victorian in July 2023, and we cannot say enough praise about this venue. From the moment Brian gave us a tour, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is full of charm and intimacy, which made us certain we’d feel surrounded by our loved ones all day and evening. We loved the ability to get ready in the gorgeous bridal suite filled with natural light, have our ceremony outside under the gorgeous Magnolia Tree, have a cocktail hour on the wrap-around porch and bottom floor of the house, and have a reception on the back patio. Every space was utilized, and the flow made our day a dream. The day didn't feel like three separate events. It felt seamless and as if it was one big day of celebration and love! We wholeheartedly recommend The Victorian as a wedding venue! The staff’s exceptional service, attention to detail, and the overall charm of the venue made our wedding day truly unforgettable.
