Amazing location for a wedding or any event.

This is a beautiful venue for any event! We had our wedding here in September. They have so many useful decor items to help set the scene, to the point there wasnt much to rent or buy other than smaller decor and floral arrangements. We definitely plan to come back and have some family events here as the two houses on the property are stunning as well and make for a great hang out spot! Thank you both so much for not only a beautiful wedding venue, but also for all of your help and support throughout the process! It was truly a blessing finding this location and getting to work with the owners who are the sweetest people around!

Amazing Wedding Venue

We recently had our wedding at this venue, and it was absolutely amazing! The space is stunning on its own — we didn’t have to do much to make it beautiful because it already was. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how gorgeous the barn area looked; it truly created the perfect backdrop for our special day.

Messina and Lex were incredible to work with from start to finish. They made the entire planning process so smooth and stress-free. They were always quick to answer our questions, incredibly accommodating, and went above and beyond throughout the entire weekend to make sure we had everything we needed.
We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend this venue — and Messina and Lex — to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run place to get married!

The Perfect Day!!

Our experience at the Shenandoah Farmhouse was absolutely amazing!!! It was within our budget and very reasonably priced for how much is included with your stay! We chose to do the 3 day, 2 night package for our wedding to have time the day before to set up and the day after to clean up. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. We got married at the end of August, and the weather was great and the vineyards were full of grapes. The scenery makes for stunning photos, especially at sunset. The venue and the houses are extremely well maintained and everything is so beautiful and decorated to perfection. The two homes on site are perfect for a bridal suite and groomsmen hang out area and make the spaces great for getting ready photos. The layout of the venue also provides many options for setting up seating for the ceremony and reception, with every option having an amazing view. The owners, Messina and Lex, are beyond wonderful. They are incredibly accommodating with anything and everything we needed. They were there the day of the wedding to drive us out to photo locations, help with anything we needed , and they even snapped some really sweet behind the scenes photos / videos. We cannot thank Messina and Lex enough for everything that they did to help make our wedding day the most perfect and special day!!

Gorgeous Venue and Wonderful owners

We could not have chosen a better venue for my daughter‘s wedding. Holding it at the end of summer was a little concerning for us, but there was a cool breeze that swept through the venue and the surrounding grape vineyards were green and lush. It was gorgeous! Lex and Messina are wonderful hosts, so accommodating to our needs and helped make my daughter’s special day even more perfect. They communicated with us regularly, the venue was clean and well kept and there were all sorts of items available for use, i.e. arches, wine barrels, signs and so much more. The houses on the property are beautifully decorated and the perfect place for the bridal party and anyone else choosing to stay the night. Honestly, I can’t say enough about Shenandoah Farmhouse and White Barn. Thank You Lex and Messina!!

True Bliss & Happiest Ever After!

The White Barn venue at Shenandoah Farmhouse was the perfect place to hold my dream wedding. The historic barn is beautifully and provides plenty of shade with covered additions on both sides including an exterior bar/saloon. Having the farmhouse and honeymoon house built into the price where family could stay made this the most affordable venue around without compromising anything!

Messina and Lex have poured their hearts into every detail of the property. They helped make everything so seem-less. They provided rides with a golf cart from the guest parking, assisted with set up & signs, even the breathtaking sunset as we danced the night away. Can’t wait to return for our anniversary!

Simply the best!

Messina and Lex were not only extremely friendly but also went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was flawless. From the outset, they provided a beautiful gift basket before we even booked, setting the tone for their exceptional service. On the day of the wedding, they left another thoughtful gift, a gesture that truly touched our hearts. Their attention to detail was impeccable—they coordinated every aspect, from the smallest decor elements to the overall flow of the day, ensuring everything was perfect. Even with a brand-new baby at home, they were hands-on, assisting with organization and maintaining constant communication. And when it came time to clean up, Lex kept the mood light with his humor, making the end of the day as enjoyable as the beginning. Their dedication and care made our wedding unforgettable.

Best day ever

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we visited, we knew this was the place where we wanted to celebrate our special day. Messinaand her husband Lex (the owners) went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly with my coordinator. Messina was always responsive and a literal angel through the whole process

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything looked, from the ceremony space to the reception area. Messina was incredibly accommodating, always ready to assist and the overall experience exceeded all our expectations.

Magical wedding night

On June 8, 2024, I married my husband at the White Barn. The night was better than we even dreamed of. Messina and Lex went above and beyond to make our night perfect. The venue is perfect without any added decorations; the barn is STUNNING and picture perfect. The grass behind the barn was shaded and so perfect for our evening ceremony, with the barn in the back drop and the vineyards on the other side, shaded perfectly by the trees. Our reception was right there too, with the bar and the lower grassy area. Lex and Messina were available for anything we needed, and, as a first time bride, I didn’t even know what I needed. Messina was available to me as we got closer to the date, and I started worrying about things…. She walked me through the venue again and helped me plan where tables and chairs would go and on the day of the ceremony helped us set up chairs… ABOVE AND BEYOND what we expected. Lex and Messina gave us a million dollar wedding and made our night more magical than we even dreamed possible. ***I dont have any pictures back yet but will add them later!!
