This place is absolutely amazing!

I don't know where to start! This place is amazing! Cathlee, Emily, Heather & Katie were amazing! They made sure that everything went perfect! They were so accommodating to our ideas and thoughts. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! So peaceful, beautiful, and just the perfect wedding venue. I simply can't thank them enough for allowing us to have my daughter's wedding there on Oct 10, 2020. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We had so many guests tell us that the wedding was awesome!! I recommend this venue very highly!!

Best day ever, perfect venue!

Cathlee and Heather were AMAZING in the entire planning and wedding process. This venue is GORGEOUS!!! It is rustic without being a barn. We stayed the entire weekend with the wedding party and family which made for an extremely fun weekend! Heather answered all of my questions promptly and was so nice and easy going in the entire process. Madison (their deer) even stepping into my wedding photos which was so cool!! Please go see this venue you won't regret it, every aspect was perfect!!

I haven’t even gotten married yet

Cathlee and Heather and Sunny Acres lodge have become like family. Our wedding is less than a year away. We have made 2 trips to the venue to walk around. Cathlee has had multiple phone calls with me, helping me every step of the way.

If you are looking for this style of venue, DO NOT HESITATE!!! Sunny acres is the one for you.

Sunny Acres is one of the most beautiful and most versatile venues I have ever worked with. I had the pleasure of putting together their promotional video, and I must say I was really impressed at how smooth everything went and how hard everyone worked to put this all together. The owners are so nice and work hard to make sure their clients are completely happy. This is truly an amazing event venue with so much to offer. I look forward to working with them again soon!
