My daughter just got married at this venue about a month…read moreago. They had several packages to choose from as well as several sights to hold the ceremony and 2 different venues to hold the reception. We chose the Run For The Roses package with the ceremony in the garden and the reception to be held in the Pavilion. Tracey was EXCELLENT from the first meeting! She answered all of our questions, even if we asked the same one 10 times! We reserved the venue in June 2021 for Oct 2022, more than a year in advance. We met with Tracey a few times at the venue before the actual wedding day and had many email and text conversations with her. She wanted to be sure she had every detail down for our daughters wedding and her vision of the day. Everything was great! The evening of the wedding, when it was time to pack up, Tracey and her crew did EVERYTHING! Anytime I got up to help with clean up she'd politely tell me to sit down, and remind me that was their job to do. She even packed up my car! Tracey was just incredible, I can't say enough about her. She was professional, but yet a great friend! I'd highly recommend her! When it came to the venue, the grounds were not what we expected they would be on the wedding day, they have some Air bnb's on sight and one place being remodeled we were told would be finished before the ceremony.It was still in the same unfinished condition it was the first day we went for our initial visit. The fields were cut for parking, but trees were not trimmed back, weeds not pulled, the Pavilion was dirty feeling. It just looked a little unkept. And the stairs leading up to the Bridal Suite are steep! So the Bride's Grandmothers were not able to see/visit with her before the ceremony. We had heard it was out up for sale and then had sold after we had reserved the venue and before the ceremony. So I'm not sure if the change in ownership was a factor in prepping the property for the wedding?

I absolutely love this place, Tracey, and Karen. They made my wedding day a dream come true…read more Yesterday was my wedding day and we've chose this place since February 2017. They are so accommodating. I chose the "All Day Rental" Package. Pros: They listen to you. They know exactly how to work their magic and wave their wand to be your personal fairy grandmother. Tracey was always there if I needed something. Yesterday, I was given the barn for FREE because there was a thunderstorm forecasted on my day. My ceremony started at 3:00pm. Later that night, we had a tornado warning around 5:30pm. Thankfully we had the barn or else who knows what would've happened. I didn't have the barn originally. I had the "All Day Rental" Package where I rented out the entire land except the barn. To be given something free when you are a worrisome, stressed-out bride over the weather was astounding. I know they were able to give me the barn because I had already rented out the entire land, but even then to know that they wanted my day to be as perfect as it can be meant so much to me and my entire family. In the rental package that I had, they give you 12 hours which is MORE than enough time to have everyone ready in the same land. I only needed 10 hours. Because they knew there was going to be horrible weather, they allowed my husband and I to be on the land at 7am in the morning! This was much earlier than the contract had said. Cons: There are none! There's no point to nit pick over little things when they made my day from the beginning!

We had a bar and a buffet dinner, and the space was more than adequate. We could not use the patio because of the weather, but there was more than enough room inside. Tesh was very accommodating. She let us visit the venue while another event was being set up so we could see how the room looked decorated. The tables and chairs were set up when got there about 3 hours before the event. She took down some tables and put others up at our request. She checked in during the event and was there to help us clean up. The catering and bartending areas worked well. We did not use their caterer, and this did not present any problems. I highly recommend them!

I was a maid of honor at my best friends wedding here last April and honestly was shocked at the…read morelevel of inflexibly this venue provided. First, the groom and bride wanted to set up the venue the night prior as the bridal party was going to do it (her mama made ALL the decorations) and we didn't want to be rushed the day of. Little backstory, we rented the entire venue for THREE DAYS so we did assume that if we rented it for three days, we would have full access. However, the venue absolutely refused to allow us to do so and did not tell us until a week prior. Their reasoning was there was no insurance on the barn and were unable to provide an option to opt in for additional Insurance. A direct result of this was the entire bridal party spent 8am in the morning until 2:00pm setting up the venue and not being able to spend any time with the bride and groom the day of. Secondly, when we saw the tablecloths set up the next day I noticed the color was a little off. So I asked the wedding coordinator if there was a chance I could replace them with another color. She explained that they unfortunately did not have replacements on site. They rented them for each event. The bridal party went about our day. Then I found in the house (where the washer and dryer is) additional white tablecloths that I had asked for. Please bear in mind I wasn't asking the venue workers to do additional work. I volunteered the bridal party to get them and replace the horrid pink ones. I was more upset we were lied too and would've expected complete transparency. Lastly, they overcharged the bride and groom for the amount of people at the wedding by $300 and refused to provide a refund. I would not recommend this venue for any bride. I have been a part of over five weddings and helped plan over a dozen and this venue was one of the worst I've ever experienced. I would book elsewhere

They're professional, personable, and punctual-- hardworking and creative-- I mean it truly doesn't get any better than these two. There's no question in my mind that I wouldn't have been able to pull off the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to (I realize I'm slightly biased) without the help of Ryder + Rhoades.

The venue has so many unique places to hold the ceremony and the reception barn was perfect. Colleen was very helpful when my daughter decided to change her mind about having a private ceremony to inviting all the guests. The ceremony was held under an old shade tree in front the historic home. It was amazing. From the bridal suite to the groomsmen's loft, this venue has it all.
