My now husband and I planned our 9/3/20 wedding a year and a half in advance and Ainsworth was on our short list. When the pandemic picked up in March, we had already booked Ainsworth but we weren't sure if it was still going to be the right place for us. We initially picked the venue with the idea of having a 70 person wedding. We knocked it down to 10 people max, 12 including the two of us, with masks required. But once we met with Krystle and Kevin in person and toured the grounds and saw what options we had, we found this was THE perfect place. There's SO much room to work with outdoors, there's lots of places to host an intimate wedding, you have so many gorgeous places to have photos taken, and socially distancing your wedding can totally happen but still feel beautiful and intimate. Fellow COVID brides, I cannot emphasize enough how much you should look into booking Ainsworth. Kevin is a lovely gentleman, an utter sweetheart who wants you to have the BEST day ever, especially now in these hard times. Krystle will go BEYOND the call of duty as a day-of coordinator to make sure you are relaxed and have the best day ever too, and she is super responsive. Even if we don't decide on having our "big celebration" next year, I know we plan on doing some sort of future event or vow renewal years later in the future. If you're looking for a place to have a gorgeous wedding where everyone feels safe, has lots of privacy, and all the help you can think of (destination COVID brides, hit this place up too), then this is the venue for you. Much love for Ainsworth!
