Beautiful day and beautiful venue
Gratitude & Grace - Fabulous in every way!
Bride and bridesmaids stayed at the Victorian house the night before the wedding. It was pristine, clean and such a treat to be able to have the house on the property. There is also a beautiful pool and hot tub for guests to enjoy. And ladies, the bridal suite is amazing!
I would say without hesitation, this is the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever attended! The ceremony was outside under the arch, dancing in the immaculate barn complete with lights and chandelier on the second floor. Food was served under tents on the lawn, which was perfect. There were so many places you could go on the property, should you want to have some privacy - the barn, the house, seating by the pool and other seating around the grounds.
I will forever have etched in my heart how wonderful this place is! Everyone that attended thought the place was spectacular and the Bride and Groom are over the moon with cherished memories of their special day! Thank you again, Ron for making our day an absolutely memorable one.
