    The Catlett Farm was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. The rustic charm of the barn, coupled with its simple elegance, created a stunning backdrop that required minimal decoration. The decor closet was a lifesaver, saving us both time and money. The open houses were incredibly helpful in our planning process. The entire Catlett Farm team was exceptional. Their communication was top-notch, the planning spreadsheet was a valuable tool, and their staff was fantastic to work with. Their professionalism and helpfulness made our entire wedding experience truly unforgettable. Our favorite moment was our private dance at the end of the night. The feeling of pure joy and satisfaction was indescribable. The venue was beautiful, and our taco truck was a huge hit with our guests. We received countless compliments on both.

    Catlett Farm is such a beautiful venue for indoor/outdoor ceremony and reception! Mrs. Catlett is also so quick to respond to anything and gives so many resources and recommendations to help plan! The decor closet is amazing and really takes the stress of buying so many decorations away! Highly recommend for any couple who want a venue that is friendly, easy to work with, and will help ensure your day is amazing!

    My wife found The Catlett Farm and what a gem! The venue was gorgeous with so many options to make it your own, both outdoors and indoors. Marie was very professional, helpful and kind. My wife and I loved their China and would definitely recommend using it. We got a rainbow on our day which certainly added to the magic!
