Dream come true!

We had our wedding last weekend and it was absolutely our dream come true. Jeff has been so wonderful to work with! He answered all our questions, made sure everything was perfect, and on top of that is just a genuinely nice person. We wanted a wedding where we felt like we were immersed in the natural beauty of the forest but still have the conveniences of a proper venue and it exceeded every expectation we had. We couldn’t have chosen a spot more perfect for us and we will cherish the memory of this beautiful space in the woods forever.

Breath-taking location!

First of all, Jeff and Tere are the absolute best! Jeff gave me a list of affordable and reliable vendors to aid with our special day and each vendor was attentive and easy to reach. I cannot stress enough how Jeff's list of vendors made it so simple to plan the wedding! The venue itself was breath-taking. I was told by many of our guests how magical the day was and how they loved the scenery. We had an October wedding and the weather was perfect! It was sunny but cool. If you are looking for a unique forest wedding, Into the Woods is the place for you :)

A magical experience ✨️

Into the Woods is thee best venue. From the moment we did our walk through I knew we were going to book and I am so glad we did! Tere and Jeff welcomed us and made us feel like we were meant to be married there. If you dream of a woodsy outdoor wedding this is the place. On our wedding day Jeff was there to support and make sure the day went as we had hoped. Definitely recommend and will hopefully renew our vows in 5 years here ❤️
