Woodbury Falls is the wedding venue for YOU! I had such an amazing experience during the planning and preparing stages leading up to my wedding. This venue space is complimentary of so many needs that arose throughout our day/evening. Miranda Fox was exceptional to work with! She has a vision for each bride/couple and ensured I was supported for my big day. It was very reassuring to know that everything would be taken care of, prepared, and proactively handled during decorating, DJ set up, caterer accommodations, etc. There are so many decisions to be made, but Miranda made it so simple to add things I wanted for my day without any hassle or hesitation. Woodbury Falls is such a beautiful place, tucked away in a peaceful area of the county. It was easily accessible to the interstate for our traveling family, and there are local hoteling accommodations available. Highly recommend this venue for weddings or any other memorable event you may be planning!

Fair Oaks Farms was a nice venue for our wedding, though their communication style was a bit minimal on the actual wedding day. The quality of their work and value was very nice - the servers were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. However, when our official reception time was up at 11pm, the staff turned on all the lights and rushed us to gather our belongings and vacate the reception hall immediately. This made the end of our special night feel a bit abrupt and hurried. Overall, Fair Oaks Farms provided a pleasant setting for our wedding, but could improve the communication and transition at the end of the night.

We are a unique venue that you rent for the entire weekend. You check in on Friday morning and don't check out until Sunday morning. You have all day Friday to decorate and can have your rehearsal & rehearsal dinner that evening. You can stay all night in our large, beautiful farmhouse and be ready to get your hair & makeup done first thing on Saturday morning in our sunroom that showcases the most gorgeous views of the pond, woods & pastures. Saturday you get to say "I DO" and follow that up with the reception you have been excited to throw to celebrate with all your favorite people. When you are exhausted from the fun, you get to stumble across the parking lot & crash in the comfy beds of the house. A huge bonus is that you don't have to shut your party down by midnight...you can go as long as you want. You can clean up on Sunday and check out at 11am. We have the most beautiful sunsets and endless spots for your perfect pictures.

The Hideaway at Crazymans was an amazing wedding venue for our special day! Jenny, the venue coordinator, was so great to work with - her communication was effective and timely throughout the entire planning process. The Hideaway is a beautiful space with clean, elegant decor and stunning views. Jenny ensured the setup for our ceremony and reception went smoothly, even helping out in the bar area to make sure we had everything we needed. The whole experience was so easy, and we are so grateful to Jenny and the entire Hideaway team for contributing to making our wedding day perfect!
