The Pavilion at Nick's Road made our wedding venue dreams come true. We were initially attracted to the venue because we had many out of town friends in our wedding party, so the fact that they could stay on site made the entire weekend an experience instead of just one quick day. Catherine was such a pleasure to work with and I felt very supported by her at every turn. The venue and land itself is absolutely gorgeous, quiet, and peaceful. We were able to have the fire going at night after all of the wedding shenanigans so that our guests could relax instead of being "kicked out by 10" like other venues. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. If we made one right choice throughout the whole wedding planning process, it was to choose this venue. Thank you for a perfect weekend!

Sure, the venue is beautiful, the food is always amazing (and of course the load-in is much easier than some). But the main reason every one of our staff loves performing there is their people.
