Congratulations and thank you for considering The Gardens at Shady Acres for your special day.
We pride ourselves in making our venue an intimate boutique experience. We only host 12 weddings a year. Will yours be one of them?
We are a combination indoor and outdoor venue. Our capacity is approximately 125-150 guests.
If you choose to be married in the woods, your guests will be waiting for you on our log and plank benches. You will be walking down our beautiful flagstone isle and arrive at our arbor surrounded by trees. If you choose the Orchard, your guests will be waiting for you in the fresh open air. You will be walking down amongst our pear and apple trees and arrive at your garden gate arbor with the beautiful neighboring horse farm as your backdrop.
Cocktail hour will take place in our main barn, complete with a state of the art commercial kitchen. Our barn is newly constructed with modern woodwork. Your guests will mingle and flow outside to our deck and grounds, while they overlook the gardens.
In the meantime, you will be off with your bridal party getting photographed at one of our 125 year old outbuildings or our koi pond with its calming water feature. Let’s not forget our deep woods pine forest, which feels like you are entering a fairy tale.
Your reception will be located just a hop skip and a jump from the barn in our brand new rustic 60X40 pavilion.

A wedding at Shady Acres is a DREAM!
My husband and I were married here in late September and I cannot begin to express how excited we are to share our experience. The location is even more beautiful in person, with gorgeous trees, a barn and gorgeous ceremony site. It is the perfect combination of elegant, rustic and inviting. There is a little koi pond in the back where we had some music and cocktail hour. The whole property is laid out for every type of guest to feel comfortable, but truly the best part were the owners.
Sasha and her family made us feel right at home. They were the best part of our experience, making sure every detail was attended to and offering us wonderful advice. We had to have a little bit of an "express-planned" wedding because of a last minute change and Sasha made us feel completely taken care of despite the rush. We are the more happy for it. It could not have been a better experience.
