Dream Come True!
Stunning indoor/outdoor space with a purpose
Really the only hiccup on the day was that I forgot my bouquet! I went back to get it and was a little behind on getting ready as a result, but every time I would think “I need that”, Julie would appear with it. Often times before I even realized I needed it myself! She was a joyful calm in the storm and she really wants you to have a special day. She has chosen the recommended vendors with care and consideration and they, too, predicted what we would need. “Eat!” They’d encourage and plod us along to make everything exceptional.
Whether you’re in Frederick County, like we are, or from another area, you’ll feel so at home in this lovely place. The first day we visited, I saw the horses who were perhaps the happiest horses I’ve ever met. Another day, we played fetch with a giant ball and some sweet cows. The animals are so peaceful and happy— this is such a good sign that the people among them are peaceful and happy, too. Would absolutely do it all over again!
