I hired J Raphael to cater my husband's December birthday party. I had no idea what to expect…read morebecause I've never hired a caterer for a personal event before. The food and service were outstanding! Two ladies showed up at my house with everything needed to throw a party. Food, plates, utensils, a water dispenser and ice bucket. I provided the drinks and a cake, and these ladies took care of everything else. When it was time to cut the cake, they did it for me. They cleaned up everything and left my house in the condition it was in when they arrived. The food was a huge hit: four cold appetizers and four hot appetizers. Best of all, I still have some left to enjoy today! Next time I want to throw a big party, I'm hiring J Raphael.

Finally getting around to review this venue from a wedding I was in on June 10, 2017…read more The venue itself is very large, I believe I saw it can hold 250 guest, and it is a wide open floor plan on the inside. The chandeliers inside are large wagon wheels, with beautifully draped clothed lights running from the wheels throughout the ceiling of the barn. The décor inside is very rustic chic, which is great for any type of weddings. The wedding I was in used navy, sunflowers, and burlap which the entire venue complemented. The venue offers a storage room full of goodies that customers can use to help decorate the venue. We were able to use a few of the easels as well as some signage for the wedding. There is a beautiful bridal suite in the front of the venue, this is absolutely perfect for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready for the big day. There are 5-6 areas with its own mirror and outlets that someone can set up and start getting ready for the day. The area is air conditioned and very relaxing and beautiful. There is a private bathroom as well as an area in the suite for the bride to put on her dress. The men have an area upstairs in the groom's loft with a pool table, and TV which is thoroughly enjoyed by the guys. You can look over the banister to see the entire floor of the venue which is perfect for wedding photos. Outside of the venue there is a covered pavilion with an outdoor fireplace which is beautiful to get married in front of. That is where my friends were married and the seating for the ceremony can be wooden benches or white chairs. The benches were perfect for the look my friend was going for. There is also a beautiful outdoor area that is draped with lights down close to the pond. It is beautiful especially at night or sunset hours for pictures. The venue is beautiful and the flow of the venue was peaceful. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and hopefully I will be able to attend another event there or be in another event.

There are many venues in this area like this one but this was buy far the most beautiful. So why…read morethe 3 star rating? This is a lot of money to pay when you consider the fact that you have to decorate and set up. You have to get the caterer you do all the logistics and afterwords. Here's the back breaker. You have to clean up. We had a wonderful wedding for our daughter and as father of the bride unless you can hire people to do all these things for you I would caution using these types of venues and go with the more tradition venue where everything is done for your. Pay more it's worth it. You are watched by the owners of this place all night the one watching us was not a nice lady. She gave the caterer a hard time and during clean up gave us a hard time and never once lifted a finger to help. This wedding was paid for by my daughter and her now husband again it was beautiful but be very careful. You may think you are saving money going this route I do not believe you are. Depends on the value you put on your time. Go this route get a wedding planner to at least take that stress off your back but then in the Huntsville area there are not many good ones around. Good luck.
