The owners, Terry and Krissy Donald, are two of the kindest, most accommodating people you will ever meet. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcomed, celebrated, and genuinely cared for. Because we were the very first couple to be married in their brand‑new chapel, the day already felt special -- but Terry and Krissy elevated it even further. Every detail was handled with such warmth and intention that our simple ceremony became something truly unforgettable. We wanted something small, simple, and tasteful, and they delivered exactly that while adding a sense of beauty and meaning that we will always cherish. Their hospitality, professionalism, and heartfelt presence made our wedding day feel blessed from start to finish. We highly recommend Khrisian's Light to anyone looking for a place where love, kindness, and genuine joy fill the room. They made our special day even more special.

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Essentia in April and had around 150 guests. We were…read morelooking for an affordable venue with amenities, but couldn't find any we liked until we found Essentia. With the price, we also got dance lessons which were a BIG help for our 1st dance! Starlina was so helpful and professional before and during the wedding! She made the whole wedding planning process so much easier. Choosing this venue for my big day was the best decision I made. Essentia was absolutely perfect and I would recommend Essentia to ANYONE for ANY occasion. The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the decor is breath-taking.

I did not even want to give 1 star and this is why!:…read more The only things that this vendor provided were the two dance lessons included with the wedding contract and the initial consultation! When trying to pay for this venue, we hit some snags financially since I was in between jobs. I would call at least a week in advance to let her know if a payment would be delayed. (This only occurred twice) Even with the notice Starlina was very rude and not flexible at all. We tried to let that go, and we did. We did notice that she only seemed concerned after we paid. She was not friendly at all until she was paid in full. Then we wanted more dance lessons to show off. We forked out for those lessons too! When we realized our budget was getting out of hand we tried to reason with her. Now full disclosure here, yes in the venue contract it says no refunds. But here is our problem with that. We just let her know yesterday about our change in plans because of budget. Our wedding was not even going to be until October 2016 and we booked her in August of 2015. Well over a year in advance and we cancelled well in advance as well. She did not even want to do a refund even on the dance lessons, which no contract was ever signed saying we could not get our money back. (We only did 3 out of 10 lessons) What seemed so outrageous is that anytime we tried to schedule lessons, she was ALWAYS BOOKED!!! I would get off work at 5pm but we had our dances at 7:30pm. Then every time we talked to her or other customers it seemed she always had some kind of event going on almost all week! So we knew she had plenty of time to fill the day with another event and fill our unused lesson days with other people. The thing about all of this is that we were not even asking for all of it back, at the very least we only wanted half back. Plus, the 2 times I met her mother she would be rude to her in front of me. Be family and do what you do, but be professional in front of customers, no speaking down to your mother! Now she is mad about the review on Wedding wire and disputed it. Good luck because I will just do this every where else! Oh and before she tries to say she offered to help us with the dance lesson money back, she only did so after I told her I would post a review and let people know our experience! (I have the email to prove it!)

Prior to booking, the owner, Ren, was very accommodating to my smaller wedding plans and charged me…read morea per hour rate to include (and I have in writing) 10 farm tables, 100 guest chairs, cake, gift, and sign-in tables, bridal suite and groom's quarters. I booked online but the invoice was for $50 more than I was quoted. I questioned it and never got an answer from the owner but I didn't argue it for all that I was getting. I scheduled two walkthroughs before the wedding and the above inclusion was also verbal from the owner at my first walkthrough. At the second walkthrough, I was met by Breanna who was so very nice. She was very helpful and said that she would be around the day of my wedding to help with any needs I may have. I let her know that we would need one tall cocktail table for the DJ equipment. Sarah, the Administrative Assistant, followed up with me in an email about my need and I just confirmed that I would need this one table. The week of the wedding came and they realized they didn't have me sign the contract for the wedding. I reviewed the contract and signed it. A smoking section was mentioned and I asked where it was located - Sarah responded in email that the smoking area was the gazebo. All was set for the wedding day. On the wedding day, I arrived at 2:30. My allotted time was 3-8 but I had verbal permission from the owner to arrive at 2:30 to begin setting up. We were not greeted by or have any staff present to help with a need we may have had as Breanna had told me at my second walkthrough. At 2:51, I arrived at the bridal suite where I heard others upstairs. Understanding I had the facility at 3:00, I announced my arrival and the hairstylist upstairs said she was doing bridal hair for a bridal portrait and asked me to give them 30 minutes. I proceeded to take our stuff upstairs with their permission. There was no urgency on their part and I never gained access to the bridal makeup counter or area until after 3:30 and my wedding was at 4:00. My mom had to change in the bathroom as did others. We used the small rectangle table to the right of the stairs. Our photos were not clean because of all the clutter with limited space sharing with another bride. We rushed to get ready in 15 minutes ... to include dressing myself, my mom and a jr. bridesmaid (hair included.) Unknowingly to me, my husband and his father entered the groom's quarters and found a huge mess in the facility. My husband had to spend time gathering all the trash in the room from the wedding the night before and pile it up against the wall before photos could be taken with his dad. As mentioned above, the DJ needed one tall table that was requested more than a week prior to the wedding. I emailed Sarah at 3:14 the day of the wedding requesting this table. It showed up minutes before the wedding started and the DJ had already found something upstairs to accommodate the immediate need. After the wedding, the family proceeded to the gazebo to have photos taken where we had to clean up cigars and beer cans sitting on the bench. At 6:30, a guy came to empty trash cans. I mentioned the gazebo to him because I didn't want to be charged for someone else's trash, and he informed me there was a large wedding the night before. This guy was not aware we had the venue till 8:00; however, we cleaned up our mess and were gone by 7:30. On Monday, November 8, I emailed Sarah and Ren regarding the above concerns. To summarize Sarah's email response, it was all a miscommunication and I only had access to the barn, 10 tables and 100 chairs. She says the bridal suite, groom's quarters and gazebo were not included in the hourly rental - but I have the emails that prove differently from the owner. When I asked Sarah about the smoking section at the time of signing the bridal contract, she provided the gazebo location to me and said nothing of it not being available for my hourly rental. In closing, I sent emails that supported my rental and what it included, a copy of the invoice that was $50 more than I was quoted and also the picture of the trash that had to be cleaned up by my husband. I asked Sarah and Ren for a refund of the extra $50 I paid without argument and have received no response back. I signed a full bridal contract that had nothing to do with my hourly rental. Thanks to friends and family, I had a very beautiful wedding. As I told Ren and Sarah I would do, I recommend this barn for a wedding but proceed with caution that whether verbal or written correspondence from them, the miscommunication is among them and they did not, in my situation, stand by their word in all areas.

It all started with the planning, in just under an hour, Blake was able to sit down with my bride and I and discuss our plans for the big day, he took notes, made suggestions, and really made us feel comfortable and confident in his experience... HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Blake and JJ made sure the ceremony, cocktail hour, introductions, photo-booth, and custom lighting all went smooth. Not only smooth, but several of our guests agreed that the music and entertainment were as perfect as they had ever seen. Blake was professional, and you could see his experience with keeping the dance floor full and people entertained. What a GREAT investment he and Jumping Jukebox were to our wedding! Thanks Blake!

We were supposed to have a manned photo booth with props and a book that had all the photos put in for us, we had a photo booth with no man, no book and no props. I didn't make a fuss, after the wedding I asked if I could have an SD or CD of the photos taken, they asked me to make a good review and then they will look into the CD, never heard back. Never received a CD, never saw any of those photos taken. I did not want "dancing in the clouds" which is a smoke machine during our first dance, during our first dance smoke filled the room anyways. I did not want to toss my bouquet or do a garter toss, thankfully the garter toss did not happen (especially since I wasn't wearing one) but the DJ randomly announced the bouquet toss which I then had no choice but to do. The song choices were OK, a couple questionable ones for a wedding I.e the boy is mine. Felt a little weird. The one song I requested be played for my husbands aunt "car wash" never was played. The song I chose for my first dance with my husband was "simply the best" by Noah Reid (the schitts creek edition) the DJ played the thing off YouTube which included the whole "this song is dedicated to etc etc from the show. Overall I think I'm the only one who noticed so it is what it is but still kinda disappointing

Rita has been an absolute blessing in our lives, working with us for years across multiple projects. Everything she touches truly turns to gold! From home staging that helped us sell our house for over a million dollars (her advice on paint, furniture, and comforter colors was invaluable) to the most breathtaking Christmas decor--her work is unmatched. She creates holiday magic with stunning Christmas trees that make your home feel like a winter wonderland. Her talent goes far beyond interiors. Rita has made important family parties glamorous with her beautiful balloon arrangements and party setups, and she's even made school events for my son unforgettable with her thoughtful touch. Her workplace decorations, especially the Christmas trees she created, elevated the entire space. Rita is simply magnificent.
