Best day of my life

It's hard to put into words how absolutely wonderful it was to have our 10/31 wedding at Red August. Not only is the entire property GORGEOUS, but the owners, Debbie and Mark, are so lovely and amazing to work with. They're so flexible, professional, and genuinely care about every couple's experience. They made sure we had whatever resources we needed to have a successful day.
When you book you get the venue for a whole weekend. It was perfect to have our rehearsal in on Friday. Additionally, I was able to stay in the beautiful bridal suite over night. Having the whole weekend also ensures that you won't have to rush to clean up after your wedding!
We really cannot recommend this venue enough!

Most gorgeous wedding venue!

Debbie and her husband at Red August Farm are so kind. Having our wedding there was so amazing and the best experience we could have ever asked for. They worked with us on everything. Debbie even came out on the setup day and gave us helpful tips. I wish we could get married all over again just to experience it one more time. Absolutely wonderful people and venue all around. 10 out of 10!

Perfect Wedding

You will not find a more beautiful location or amazing owners to work with when planning your wedding. The owners are so helpful and go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. Their experience even helped with cool ideas we’d never considered. Our daughter was blown away with the venue — the barn is amazing and the bridal suite was ideal for preparation and relaxing prior to the ceremony. This place is the total package for a one stop, all inclusive location. The rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception in one perfect place! We are so glad we picked Red August Farm to make this forever memory for our family.

Wonderful Experience

We had an amazing experience with Red August Farm! It is such a beautiful venue, and it was so nice that we had it available the whole weekend. We were able to have the rehearsal dinner and wedding there, and both were absolutely beautiful! There is a lovely bridal suite that my bridesmaids and I stayed at the night before and got ready there the day of. It was very convenient to be able to stay on site. There is also a place for the groom and his groomsmen to get ready the day of the wedding. The owners are so sweet and helpful, and were always quick to answer any questions or requests we had. They gave great advice for vendors, and were overall just wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking!

Beautiful Venue!

Red August is a beautiful venue that was perfect for our special day! We were able to have the ceremony outside in front of the gorgeous fireplace, then cocktail hour underneath the barn and then our reception inside the barn that fit our 165 guests very well. The owners were very accommodating and the bridal suite was the perfect spot to get ready!

The perfect venue!

Red August Farm is a dream venue! My (now) husband and I took a tour and knew in that moment that’s where we wanted to get married - we didn’t even look anywhere else. We only have wonderful things to say about Red August! It’s spacious- there are so many cute spots to take pictures, and the barn can hold around 300 people comfortably. There is so much space and so many different features (arbor, fireplace, chapel, etc) to really make your ceremony your own. You have it for the whole weekend, which is super helpful. We were able to start setting up on Friday and have the rehearsal dinner there, and then we had time on Sunday morning to clean up. The views on the farm are beautiful. The owners are so sweet and easy to work with. Debbie was always helpful and quick to respond when we had questions. Oh, and the bridal suite is gorgeous! My bridesmaids and I stayed there the night before the wedding, and we were all able to get ready there on the day of. I could go on and on about how amazing this venue is. I would highly recommend Red August Farm to anyone!! 😊

The best wedding experience

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our wedding! Debbie is so friendly and flexible and the barn is large enough to accommodate a larger guest list!

Perfect Wedding Venue!

Red August was the perfect place for our wedding ceremony and reception. Debbie was super helpful and flexible! Red August is also the only barn venue in the area that I felt was large enough to comfortably have the ceremony and reception inside in case of rain, which made the weather one less thing to worry about!
