If you are looking for a beautiful farm wedding venue, go ahead and look no further because this is it. I have finally had a moment to really leave a good, thorough review of this amazing place. Let me start from the beginning.
Glenn and Diane are absolutely wonderful. For our first viewing of the venue back in September/October 2019, Glenn showed us around and made us feel absolutely at home. Our date was to be set for March 29, 2020. We were so excited and planning was a WHIRLWIND. Then it happened. You know. The pandemic. Right before our wedding.
My husband and I made the decision to postpone the ceremony. I cried. Glenn and Diane were extremely understanding of the situation and worked with us for a new date. I cannot express how relieved I was that they allowed us to reschedule with such grace.
With that being said, our hearts were still set for 3/29/2020 for our marriage. My husband and I then made the decision to ask Glenn to officiate us and his daughter and wife, Diane, were witnesses/photographers. It was just the 5 of us. It broke our hearts and many of our family member hearts that we could not all be together that day, however it was still a gorgeous, beautiful, and private ceremony for the both of us.
Our new date was set to October 18, 2020. Glenn and Diane helped us organize the wedding flow at the rehearsal dinner. They were so sweet and knowledgeable!
I had an officiate, caterer, hairstylist, DJ, cake, decorations, and all the other tidbits that go into a wedding. Things were coming together!
And then my officiate fell through. Glenn came through yet again as our officiate and he did an AMAZING job both times.
On the day of the wedding, we had tons of hand sanitizer and planned for plenty of space for social distancing (the ceremony and reception were all outside). The ceremony area and the reception area was set up, just the way we had discussed and if there were any last minute changes (an extra table cloth or moving 1 or 2 tables) Glenn was there to rescue!
In the bridal suite, my bridesmaid, who was also my hairstylist, was working on curling my hair. Well, I have SUPER straight hair and heard that if it is not washed it will hold a curl longer. I had showered at the venue in a bathroom next to the bridal suite (so convenient and the bridal suite is so cute!) but I did not wash my hair. I suppose all of the stress of the wedding day had made my hair too oily for styling. None of us had dry shampoo and there was no time to wash my hair! I was freaking out! But here comes Diane to the rescue! She called up her daughter who brought dry shampoo over in minutes! It may sound like a silly, small thing, but as the bride on your big day, it felt like a big deal at that moment.
The ceremony went beautifully smooth, and then there were pictures. I had asked Glenn and Diane if I could get photographs with the white horse on the farm and they agreed. If you see pictures of the horses, and want to get a picture with them, simply ask ahead of time. Getting these shots were SO worth it!
During the reception and after the wedding, many people complemented the ceremony, the bride's dress, the bridesmaids' dresses, the food, the weather, etc., but THE MAIN complement my family and I received, was how stunning and beautiful the venue is. From the plantation style house, to the rolling fields with horses, to the gorgeous old oak trees, to the twinkling chandelier lights of the reception area, this place is breath-taking.
Long story short, delightful venue owners (Diane and Glenn), charming venue, and marvelous pricing, THIS is THE place for your barn-style wedding. I promise :) read more
