Highly recommend!

Exceeded expectations! Highly recommend! PLANNING: Fast and quick to respond to any and all questions. One of my favorite things about this venue is that it is not a "cookie cutter" wedding venue. We did not have to choose from a designated list of vendors, we did not have only one option for how the venue needed to be set-up, etc. We were really able to individualize the wedding and make it special so that it represented us as a couple. THE WEDDING DAY: Kevin was absolutely amazing throughout the whole wedding day. He anticipated needs without even being asked like making sure the golf cart was always available for our grandparents. He took away so much stress which really allowed me to fully enjoy the day. And of course the venue is absolutely beautiful! Our pictures came out amazing! They also have a fall harvest festival every year (which we have already been back too) and plan on attending every year as a new family tradition and our first as newlyweds!

Best decision we made!

You will not find a better place to get married. The Neltner’s are so helpful, kind, and have an unmatched location. We planned our whole wedding in three months to get to get married here, and it was totally worth it! Best decision we made!

We chose Neltner's as the location because we wanted an outdoor wedding with a "backyard party" feel, and it delivered! The farm is set up to feel elegant while still casual, with lighting and decor that made the night very romantic. Different aspects of the grounds can be customized to fit your wedding needs. Someone was on site during the entire day of the ceremony, and he helped coordinate between different vendors. My wife appreciated the boutique across the street that she and the bridesmaids were able to use to get ready, which allowed privacy but also proximity to the venue. The landscape here is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures from the wedding were absolutely fantastic. For those seeking an outdoor venue, this place is perfect and the people are great to work with!

Neltner's Farm was absolutely gorgeous for our wedding reception. They were extremely accommodating for our custom plans and allowed us to do a number of things differently; including building my own bars and modifying the layout of the venue. This is a family run business on their own property and they truly take care of every detail. They recently made renovations to the barn which are absolutely gorgeous. My one caveat, make sure you are prepared for an "a la carte" wedding and the costs that come with it. After the rental equipment costs (bathroom trailer, tables, chairs, tent, etc), caterer, linens, and supporting staff, it put us a little over the edge. However, a lot of this may actually have fallen on our choice of caterer. Otherwise, this is a gorgeous location that gave us the most beautiful wedding reception. 100% recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
