My husband and I got married at Walnut Hill in late May and had the most beautiful, intimate wedding. The venue itself brought so much in terms of decor—the gorgeous tree grove, charming barn, in bloom garden—we really only added small touches with florals and tablescapes / seating to bring the event together. As the bride, I also loved that we had the on-location farmhouse to get ready in, watch guests arrive, plus be able to run back to change or touch up during the event. Essie and Mike (venue owners) are incredible to work with, they truly care that you're going to have an amazing time. And Kate, the venue GM / planner, is super organized, has the best attitude, and will make the planning process SO much more fun and exciting. Overall, you just feel taken care of. The Walnut team is also very well connected and respected in the area. Vendors love working with them, which means you get access to a lot of good recommendations, and options to fit your vision. We couldn't recommend the venue or team more!

We got married at Fairytale Gardens & Weddings in September 2024. What originally drew us to this venue was how relatively affordable it was, and how beautiful the barn and forest-side photos were. Erin and Maria were the ones who dealt with us in the months leading up to the wedding, and seamlessly coordinated everything on the day of. They were absolutely crucial in making the planning and execution of our big day everything we could have wanted. They are both caring professionals and are excellent at what they do. They accommodated our every wish and desire and provided thoughtful feedback when necessary. One of our favorite aspects of the venue was the "pay-it-forward attic". Fairytale Gardens & Weddings has an attic full of decorations, signs, etc. This was a huge time and money saver for us and allowed us to round out the barn and table decor. If you are looking for a wonderful, caring, friendly, and special venue, you need not look any further! Attached images credited to Julia Andrew Fine Art Photos
