Most Magical Wedding Venue

Brightwater Weddings and Events is truly a magical place to get married. My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married here in August. From the second we stepped foot on the property and met the two owners, Mark and Kiki, we knew there was something special about this place. So many venues feel transactional and really highlight that the wedding industry is exactly that-- an industry. My husband and I NEVER felt that way at Brightwater. Mark and Kiki are warm, friendly, and truly care about the people, and the weddings they host. They are organized, professional, and hard-working. I truly do not have enough kind things to say about both the owners and the venue. The space itself is GORGEOUS!!! Truly worth every penny and then some.

Beautiful venue!

Just had our wedding here on 10/10/25 and it couldn’t have gone better! The owners were very responsive during the whole planning process. On the day of they were around if needed but didn’t hover lol. They even offer a shuttle service from the upper ceremony barn down to the lower reception barn for anyone who needed assistance. Would highly recommend them!

Best New Wedding Venue

The venue speaks for itself ... super pretty, brand new modern farmland space right on the outskirts of town. Easily accessible to our guests and their accommodations, loved that we could utilize both barns as well as the 12 acres (don't quote me on that) and the lake for photos! Wedding planning is STRESSFUL, but Kristina and Mark held our hands and made this part of our wedding easy ... Book your wedding, retirement party or whatever else you want to celebrate - you will not be disappointed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
