Best Wedding Ever

It was so smooth. I was able to bring an outside caterer in, they had a backup plan for when it rained, they were super helpful with options we had for everything. I couldn’t have imagined a better experience for our big day. Highly recommend

Best wedding venue! I highly recommend for any occasion!

If you’re looking for a venue that will be better than your dream wedding, Nickajack farms is that place. I got married this June at Nickajack farms and even booked it with just seeing a video tour of it because I live in New York. The barn was truly more than I could have imagined. When I saw it in person for the first time I was amazed by how beautiful it was. Everyone at Nickajack farms was so friendly and helpful and they made my day so special. Becca was our day of coordinator and she was truly the best. She was organized, kind, and very helpful along with the other staff that day. I am very thankful for all of her hard work that day. 😄 A lot of my guests came from out of state and some in state and work in the entertainment theatrical industry and everyone had great things to say about the venue and how it looked. Considering it was such a hot day everyone was so happy and I think that speaks on how wonderful the venue is. The day felt magical and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day for my wedding. ❤️😄 Thanks Nickajack Farms!

Greatest venue!!

In short, Allison is incredible. When we began looking for a venue, we wanted to make sure it was a climate controlled barn with other amenities. Often times you’ll look into a barn venue and you’re required to do the rest. Not here! Allison communicated with us every step of the way. She also coordinates the day-of with all vendors to ensure the smoothest flow of the day. They recommended several other vendors, offered rentals/equipment, have a new bar inside, and also have the BEST outdoor area for pictures. We were able to have a beautiful fire going at sunset overlooking the cornfields. This place was our dream come true and we could not be any happier.

Ps. We got to snap a few wedding pics with Alpacas

Beautiful barn. Our wedding was beautiful! Only complaint is they do not have air conditioning but as long as it is not hot and humid the barn actually stays pretty cool without in the summer.

Lovely Place

The upstairs can get pretty hot. This place is great for hosting a fall/Halloween wedding. There is plenty of space. If anything, I just wish we could've used our low fog fog machine. They are super helpful and make it incredibly easy to plan a wedding!

Hello! On July 28 my daughter Caitlin was married at Nickajack Farms. The staff of Alison, Amanda, and Susan were wonderful. And this unfairly describes them. All of them made sure the bride and groom’s needs and expectations were met; they ensured the guests were comfortable, and the families of the bride and groom were happy. I could not have imagined the level of service we received from these three amazing people. Thank you, Alison, Amanda, and Susan for helping make Caitlin and Brian’s day so much better because of your attention to detail and your willingness to provide a level of service surpassed by nobody. Thank you! I will be recommending your facility to friends and family.

Sincerely,
Michael B Elkins
