October 2022 Wedding

We got married at this venue in October 2022. Sarah, the owner of the venue, was fantastic in assisting us with our organization and planning from the time of booking. She and her team helped tremendously by essentially being a day of coordinator and planner. They have lots of experience and know what works well with the space they have. They have a couple closets with a multitude of decorations that have been donated from previous brides that are free to use. Their bridal suite and grooms lounge worked perfect for day of getting ready. We had an outdoor ceremony with the best weather and beautiful set up. Sarah and her team went absolutely above and beyond to ensure all of our wishes were handled and well respected to give us the most perfect day we could have imagined.

Sarah was fantastic! We loved working with her and the venue was perfect. Having her and her staff there the day of was super helpful. The closet of donated decor was a great bonus.

Such a cool place and Sarah is wonderful!

What an amazing location for a wedding. This place has old school charm coming out the windows.
There is a groom's suite and a bride's suite downstairs, and after the wedding begins the groom's suite can be converted into a children's area!
There is a huge yard with a fire pit, yard games to play during cocktail hour, and plenty of parking.
Sarah is really great to work with, too. She is extremely helpful with planning your day and provides a lot of necessities. Tables and chairs are included as well as basic linens. There is even a big closet downstairs where people can donate their decor and you can use it for your event free of charge.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
