Simply amazing.

I cannot say enough good things about this venue AND the venue manager, Kaitlyn. I wanted a fall Garden & Gun aesthetic which the farm house and property lent themselves too with ease. Kaitlyn was also just extremely helpful and really helped make sure our day was perfect. She helped answer any question I had, no matter how small. Also, if I needed to check out venue spacing, measure something or just need another visual of the venue, she made sure we could get out there as many times as we needed, which was extremely helpful. We did a sit down buffet dinner for 165 people, 8 of those being seated at a family table. There was plenty of space inside to accommodate all of that and a DJ. We did use the covered patio for cocktail hour though. The property itself is stunning and a great for photos, especially in the fall! The cottage is great for the bridal party to get ready the morning of too. We had 15 people (5 of those hair and makeup with equipment) and had enough space for everyone to be comfortable and relax while getting ready. It’s also well stocked with toiletries for those little things we forget! In all, I’d use the venue again and again. They’re amazing.

Perfect farm venue!

This venue is perfect if you're looking for a private farm venue with scenery. It has a covered outdoor pavilion if you want an outdoor ceremony and indoor space if you want an indoor ceremony. The inside space in the barn is perfect for any reception. The farmhouse on the venue made it super convenient to stay in the night before so we could start getting ready first thing in the morning and it comfortably sleeps up to 10 people! The pastures and trees made for beautiful photos, especially in the fall with all the colors! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a versatile, rustic farm venue!

The landscape is delightful and the views at sunset are just breathtaking! The farm also has super cute horses, cows, and chickens on site (free eggs)! <3 The farmhouse is perfect for the bridal party to get ready in and spend the night if they want!
