A Simple Affair

We were looking to have a simple, intimate, rustic style wedding and A Simple Affair provided us with everything we needed to make this possible. We booked with this venue because of its affordability, flexibility (can use outside vendors for everything except alcohol) and the NYE Flash Sale offered at the time (12% off $7500 or more if booked by 12/31). We purchased the All Inclusive Weekday Package for our April wedding which included 8 hours venue and amenities access, rustic decoration, BBQ buffet, Crumbl Cookies, the ceremony package, 3 hours of DJ, and 3 hours of a Personalized Photobooth.

POSITIVES:
-Staff responded quickly throughout planning process
-Highly Customizable (food, decoration, floor plan, etc.)
-Very organized and clear documentation & communication
-Helpful reminders sent before payment due dates
-Ample parking available
-Consultations provided are very helpful
-Lighting and decoration were gorgeous: Greenery, hanging planter box, candles, burlap table runners, farm wood tables, vine hangers, and with the all inclusive package you have access to any decoration items from their storage
-Quick turn around time between ceremony and reception
-Staff on the day of the wedding were very attentive and friendly
-Projector for slideshow worked amazingly
NEGATIVES:
-Alcohol options are great, but just be aware that you must purchase alcohol through the venue
-The bridal suite is not the largest and is situated directly across from the restrooms. It is not suited for large bridal parties (more than 6 people gets tight) and to avoid guests flooding in, lock the door
-Lapel microphones were not provided. Although the venue offered them and said they would provide a lapel microphone for my officiant, days before my wedding day they got a new sound system and unfortunately did not have lapel microphones paired with the new system
-Venue is completely indoors. However, there is a small grassy area belonging to a nearby community (literally 1 minute walk from the venue) that is not associated with the venue but that we used for "cocktail hour" (no alcohol, just appetizers served) and pictures

Overall, we were very pleased with the services A Simple Affair Venue offered. I highly recommend this venue for anyone with a wedding party

We had an amazing reception! Our coordinators were attentive and helped our “us party” run smoothly. I would recommend setting up the bar closer to the door for future events. We lost our deposit due to people taking drinks outside multiple times.
