Although the venue is relatively nice, our overall experience was poor and the staff were not helpful at all. Where to start... They asked us to have all of the beverages and alcohol there at 12 so the bartenders can prep and get set up. They didn't show up until 4 so all the beer was hot and we were there unnecessarily early. I also had several complaints the bartender was rude and they shutdown the bar without a last call or warning. The pool we were supposed to be able to use was full of algae. Nope! The chairs were set up for 250 people, we needed 140 and there was no aisle to separate the grooms and brides guests. When we requested the change, we were told we would have to do it and put the chairs back at the end of the night or be charged $1000. No soap in the bride's bathroom, flowers were dead at the pavilion, and be prepared to bring everything... If its not a table or chair you better have it because they don't. On a day like that, the devil is in the details and the details were lacking. Could have been a much better experience.

I am appalled by the practices of this venue. After working…read moreon the wedding industry for 21 years I have never run into a venue who has attendants barging into the bridal sweet to rush everyone! We had 9 people to style full hair and makeup for a 5:30 ready time yet they wouldn't allow us into the venue until 1pm.... Even if we rushed that is an impossible task and left everyone in the room panicking and rushing. The joy of the big day was ruined by their poor and unprofessional timing for this wedding party. Set up should have been at least halfway don't the night before and whoever needed to sleep in should have been up and letting us all in that morning. I've needed venues open by 6-8am many times and they make it work. They don't book the party, set impossible timing goals and not allow the party to be in until mid afternoon! They didn't even allow time for touchups. I hope I never have to work this venue again unless they start thinking about their guests and make their expectations more reasonable to my sweet brides can be relaxed, comfortable and happy.

Inside did not disappoint, with lots of detail and open spaces for wedding ceremonies and receptions to be held. There is a "man cave" in the basement for the groomsmen and second floor space for the bride and her ladies. An elevator makes traveling between floors a cinch. There is a beautiful pool and ceremony room, which has a wall of glass that allows for views of the property, trees, and barn in the background. Reasons for not offering 5 stars would be the seemingly inexperienced and somewhat inattentive staff and the extremely cold reception space. Many guests were clearly cold (it was a wet winter day with cool temperature) and it felt quite chilly in the space. The staff were friendly however did not seem to go out of their way to check in with guests. You had to flag down the servers for a passed appetizer, instead of being offered one. Hopefully these issues can be improved upon to improve the guest experience and make the wedding couple feel pampered and stress free on their big day.

Some venues simply provide a space... but this venue delivered an experience I will never forget…read more From the moment we started planning until the very last moment of the night, everything felt effortless, magical, and perfectly orchestrated--and that is all because of Dawn, the absolute superstar host who made our wedding day flawless. Dawn didn't just do her job--she showed OUT. Every detail was handled with such care, professionalism, and grace that I never had to worry about a single thing. Weddings can be stressful, but Dawn created an atmosphere where I could actually be present and soak in every beautiful moment. She anticipated needs before they even arose, kept everything flowing seamlessly, and somehow managed to make the entire day feel calm, joyful, and perfectly timed. The venue itself was stunning, but what truly made it special was the way Dawn brought everything together behind the scenes. She made sure every transition was smooth, every guest felt welcomed, and every detail of the celebration unfolded exactly how it should. It's rare to find someone who cares as much as she does, and it truly showed in every moment of our wedding day. If you are looking for a venue where your wedding will be treated like the most important event in the world, this is the place--and Dawn is the reason why. She didn't just host our wedding... she elevated it, protected it, and made it unforgettable. Dawn, thank you for going above and beyond and making sure our big day went off without a hitch. Because of you, our wedding wasn't just beautiful--it was absolutely perfect.

This place is GORGEOUS!! My sister had her wedding here, and I honestly teared up from the moment I…read moredrove up to the venue. Everything about it was just so elegant and beautiful. It felt like a venue from Tuscany. You can tell they take pride in their landscaping as it's beautiful all the way around from front to back. Greenery everywhere, flowers, water running-everything you'd want for a wedding. They have two places where your ceremony can take place-outside back by the forested area or in the courtyard. Both beautiful areas but the wooded area was a DREAM. The sun shining through the trees and the long pathway down to the altar made it stunning. There was plenty of seating for everyone too. We did use the courtyard for cocktail hour, and it was such a good space for chatting, relaxing, and photos!! The inside was also Beauuutiful! A very large room surrounded by big glass windows. They set everything up for us and made each table look so elegant and beautiful. The staff did a wonderful job. The bride's suite was also Unreal!!! The most gorgeous getting ready space with plenty of mirrors and outlets. It has your own personal bathroom, kitchen area, and lounging area. It made the day even that more special! The groom's suite was smaller but still nice with a nice TV as well. Our experience with staff was also great from start to finish as well. Overall, this space is absolutely incredible. I would get married here if I lived here!!

They opted to get married underneath this enormous oak tree, there are several other ceremony spots too.

They have a bridal suite upstairs in the barn and a separate grooms house a little bit of a ways from the barn. It's a little bit out there in the middle of nowhere but it's worth the drive!
