I recently got married at Prairie Moon and it was gorgeous! The Venue itself was beautiful, the wine taste wonderful and now they have a Brewery! What a great place to have a wedding! The coordinator was on her game, so friendly and so willing to help! I never once felt nervous that things were going to fail. She added more chairs when need be, she offered great support and helped with clean up! I received more compliments that night about the venue! I would recommend this to anyone! Great place!

The venue is so beautiful! They were so great to work with and professional. They gave us a heads up on what's ideal for this particular thing and gave us a heads up about things that were against state law such as using floating lanterns. I had a Friday wedding, and because no one booked anything the Thursday prior, we were told we were allowed to go in and set up early for free!! Seriously, go with them!!
