A tucked away fairytale dream

This venue is one of a kind. It is hard to find old school charm and elegance in today’s society, but this place is just that. From getting ready in the bridal suite and grooms room to standing under the willow trees by the creek, every moment felt magical. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and super helpful. We had the absolute best weekend here. From the small intimate glass house to the big beautiful courtyard, there’s something for everyone at Pheasant Cove.

Excited Bride

Pheasant Cove at Brookside is where I will be having my wedding in 2026. I booked immediately after our tour. This property has an inviting ambience and abundant natural beauty. These combine to create a wonderful backdrop for our wedding day. Pheasant Cove has numerous spaces for wedding celebrations, rehearsal dinner with both outdoor and indoor options where we will be able to hold all of our proceedings on these beautiful premises. The owners were very helpful, and I know they will go out of their way to make my experience top tier. They felt like family before we left. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great place to start their next chapter.

Father of the Bride viewpoint

Not only is Pheasant Cove a gorgeous venue, but Shane and Lena, the owners are so easy to work with. My daughter found them extremely helpful and very easy to do the contract online. From a father of the bride’s viewpoint, the grounds are well maintained, beautiful and will be a great photo backdrop for any bride and wedding party. I cannot say enough about this venue. Our daughter booked after the tour for her 2026 wedding.

Pheasant Cove Tour

Very thorough on the initial walkthrough. We were able to look at the whole property including the bride’s house and groom’s house, pool/hot tub area, indoor area, outdoor wedding area, etc. Everything was clean and beautiful!

The perfect venue!

There are truly no words big enough to describe how special this place is. From the very first moment we stepped onto the property, we felt something magical — like this was exactly where our love story was meant to be celebrated.

Every corner of the venue was stunning, but more than that, it felt warm, welcoming, and full of heart. As we stood there on our wedding day, surrounded by the people we love most, everything felt peaceful, joyful, and perfectly right. The setting didn’t just frame our memories — it became part of them.

The team treated our day with so much care, kindness, and genuine love. We never felt like just another event. We felt seen, supported, and truly celebrated. Because of them, we were able to be fully present, soaking in every laugh, tear, and unforgettable moment.

This venue gave us more than a beautiful wedding — it gave us a day we will carry in our hearts forever. We are endlessly grateful and would choose this place again in a heartbeat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
