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!!

Sunny Acres Lodge allowed my dream wedding to become reality!
The staff at Sunny Acres Lodge helped me develop my vision for my dream wedding. They were incredibly helpful and flexible throughout the entire process. I was able to incorporate both the outdoors and the beautiful indoor lodge as part of the wedding experience. Sunny Acres Lodge is much more than a venue, it is truly an experience! They have so many additional experiences to be had including having the wedding party stay on sight, clay shooting, the pool, hay rides, wild life visitors, and so much more! Cathlee, Heather, and Emily were amazing! I would highly recommend this venue to any newlyweds!

Sunny Acres Lodge was our dream venue! Mrs. Cathlee and crew went above and beyond, to not only help us create a vision (the options are endless at Sunny Acres!), but to make sure it came to life as well. Throughout the whole process they were there to guide us and If we had an idea they made sure it happened!
The Ceremony was perfect, the altar has driftwood surrounding it with a gorgeous view of open fields in the background. Mrs. Cathlee even catered to my request the day of to keep the bulls in the background of our ceremony. The inside of the lodge is one of the most gorgeous buildings I have ever seen. Because of this and the layout of the Lodge it allowed us to have a GORGEOUS half inside half outside reception; It didn't take much to turn the inside space into a focal point with the bar, food, and a cozy place for our first dance. The inside space flows so well to the outside area that we decided to seat our guests under the romantic string lights for the reception (next to the dance floor and fire pit). The string lights overhead kept the outside feeling as warm and cozy as the inside of the lodge, and it couldn't have tied together any better. We had full use of the venue all weekend which was wonderful for the rehearsal dinner, getting ready the day of the wedding, and to be able to spend time and relax with out of town guests.
I simply can't write enough words to detail the wonderful experience we had at Sunny Acres Lodge, if you're looking for a venue that has it all (yes, I even managed to get a photo with Madison the Deer) then look no further. Mrs. Cathlee you and your crew are angels, we can't thank you enough for making our big day everything we hoped it would be!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
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!
We looooove shooting at Sunny Acres Lodge.
It photographs like a dream. The gorgeous landscape surrounding and amazing architecture is a photographers dream!
We can wait to shoot here more and more. All of clients we've had there have had amazing experiences! The staff is awesome to work with and clients love them too!
