Wedding in full bloom!

We cannot recommend Être Farms enough—it is truly the one-stop-shop fairytale venue every couple dreams of. From the moment we toured, we knew this place was something special. Nearly everything you could possibly need is included or coordinated for you, which made planning a breeze and allowed us to stay fully present and enjoy the weekend with our loved ones.

The staff at Être are simply top-notch—warm, professional, and deeply committed to making your day unforgettable. A special shoutout to Nicole & Mark, the dynamic duo behind the venue, who have created something magical and continue to elevate it year after year. Morgan, the logistics queen, kept every detail on track and every hiccup smoothed out with grace and calm. And Elliana, the design maven, brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. We are still getting compliments on the florals and thoughtful details woven throughout the ceremony and reception.

One of our favorite touches? They treated our French bulldog like royalty—complete with a custom flower leash to match her harness and a designated staff member to care for her throughout the day. It was clear that every single guest, including the four-legged ones, was made to feel special.

Être continues to outdo itself year after year, with new enhancements like an upgraded ceremony space, dress steaming services, and even lawn games. It’s a venue that keeps evolving—and always in service of an unforgettable guest experience.

If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, ease, and heartfelt hospitality, look no further. Être Farms is it.

We loved our wedding

Wedding planning was a stressful process and we got decision-fatigued early on. Once we stumbled upon Etre, we were immediately sold and the process got easier and more enjoyable. The venue is gorgeous, the staff is great, the food was amazing. We couldn’t be more happy with our decision and would recommend having your wedding here to anyone.

Beautiful full-service wedding venue!

We booked Etre Farms for our wedding in June 2025, and are so glad that we did!

My husband and I both work full-time and did not have a lot of time to spend planning all of the little details for a wedding, so we wanted to choose a venue that would take care of those details for us. Etre Farms did not disappoint. They kept us on track and reminded us when we needed to make decisions. They gave us so much flexibility to customize the looking to what we wanted, and when we didn't really care about the details of certain things, they were happy to step in and use their creativity to make the decisions for us. It made the wedding planning process so much less stressful for us, and we're so grateful for it!

Everything ran incredibly smoothly on the day of the wedding. We were well taken care of the whole day, starting in the get-ready suites before the ceremony. The staff made sure that everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule.

We got so many compliments from our guests about the venue! The venue is gorgeous - the space and grounds themselves are beautiful, but it was also wonderfully decorated with flowers and other decor. Many of our guests also remarked at how great the staff was, including how friendly and attentive they were. One bartender in particular was super quick to clean up every spill on the dance floor almost immediately. Our guests also loved the food and drinks.

Michael & Angel Owens Wedding Review

We got married this past October in 2024, and everything leading up to that special day was beyond amazing. The entire team at the venue was so helpful and made the entire planning process a breeze. Nicole, the owner, and Elliana, who was in charge of design, were incredible to work with. They were always so accommodating, ensuring that every detail was perfect.

A huge shoutout to Morgan, our wedding planner! She was absolutely amazing. She was so organized and on top of everything- from our first initial meeting, leading all the way up to our wedding day. She kept things flowing smoothly and making sure the rehearsal the day before was seamless. It really put my mind at ease.

As for the design, I had a vision in mind for how I wanted the day to look, and they completely nailed it. Everything was perfect – from the decor to the setup, it was breathtaking. I received so many compliments from guests, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. People also couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was and how fantastic the service was throughout the day.

The whole experience was truly magical, and I am so grateful for the incredible Etre team that made our dream wedding come to life.

Our Perfect Day

We could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding then our day at Etre Farms. When we first got engaged, I was nervous about planning a Midwest wedding from the West Coast but after visiting Etre Farms they eased all of our concerns. The whole team is fantastic in making sure you feel prepared going into the big day. We were able to work with them on all of our details including florals, decor, food, drinks, DJ, and day of schedule of events which made wedding planning from afar a breeze!

When we walked into the venue on the night of our rehearsal, I was blown away by the tablescapes, florals, signage, and decor. Everything was more beautiful than I could have imagined.

I was surprised by how "low-stress" wedding planning could be and even on the day of, when it started raining before our outdoor ceremony, they kept us calm and moved all guests and the set up into their beautiful ballroom. They truly go above and beyond!

My husband and I, our families, and our guests had nothing but positive things to say about the entire day! It was absolutely gorgeous!

A Dream Wedding at Etre Farms!

Our July 2024 wedding at Etre Farms was absolutely perfect. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the one. The stunning views, beautiful barn, and overall ambiance made for an unforgettable day. The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring everything went smoothly, and their attention to detail made our wedding feel truly special.

A special shoutout to the DJ, who was absolutely amazing! He kept the energy high throughout the night, reading the crowd perfectly and keeping everyone on the dance floor. The music was spot-on, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing.

The venue’s flexibility allowed us to personalize our celebration, and the food was phenomenal—our guests are still raving about it! Etre Farms gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding day!

From the very beginning, their team was incredibly organized and truly held my hand through every step of the planning process.

Incredible Day Thanks to Etre Farms

We recently had the privilege of getting married here and everything about Etre Farms was absolutely immaculate! Etre Farms truly sets the stage for an unforgettable celebration. From the breathtaking surroundings, to the picturesque barn-reimagined, this place is a photographers dream. The attention to detail in every aspect of the wedding and time leading up to the wedding was impressive. Mark & Nicole, and the entire Etre Farms staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of and everything went according to plan. To us, this was one of the largest differentiators when picking a venue. They deserve praise for their flexibility and willingness to accommodate each couples unique preferences and ideas. The personalized touches added an extra layer of warmth and made the celebration truly reflect our story. The catering team at Etre Farms truly outdid themselves. The dinner was a culinary dream, with an immense amount of choices, custom designed based on you and your guests favorite foods and preferences. One thing that stood out to us, was the incredible coordination amongst the Etre Farms team. They seamlessly managed the schedule, ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time. From the beginning of the ceremony, to the grand entrance of the newly-weds, all the way until the last dance, they made sure every moment felt effortless and well coordinated. They have everything you need in-house, and I would suggest you take advantage of it. The DJ did such an amazing job - it was by far the best DJ performance at a wedding that we have ever seen. By utilizing all of the in-house services we could be as involved, or little-involved as we would like. That was such an advantage leading up to the wedding. In conclusion, I cannot say enough about Etre Farms. It is an exceptional wedding venue that excels in every aspect. If you're looking for a place that combines natural beauty, impeccable service, and attention to detail, then Etre Farms is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple seeking to create lasting memories of their special day.
