Picture Perfect Place!

If you've stumbled upon The Peter Allen House as a potential wedding venue, then look no further because this is the BEST PLACE TO GET MARRIED!! The picturesque gardens surrounding the beautiful house make for a perfect backdrop for your day if you're looking for something different from the typical barn wedding. The tents on site are well maintained and gorgeous inside. The old house on the property is perfect for getting ready and has so much charm, it's fantastic! To top it all off, the owners of the venue, Frank and Barb, are what really sold us on this place. They're super laid back and personable, the perfect duo I would say. They will do anything and everything to make sure your day is exactly what you imagined!!! Again, can't recommend this place enough! Can't wait to come back and visit :)
Love,
Alyson and Andrew Huling
