Best venue and people ever!

We had our wedding here and it was absolutely stunning. The staff were incredibly kind and well-organized and there just isn't another venue like it in the area. It is a magical place with woodlands and water and the treehouse is amazing. We were able to rent it for 48 hours and the price was may affordable than any other venue we looked at.

Just Perfect!!

There is not a single thing we would change about this venue! From the incredibly kind, helpful, and respectful staff to the absolutely beautiful land, Timberlake was the most perfect place for us to get married. The staff were so communicative and did everything to make sure we felt completely prepared and excited. The property is so peaceful and beautiful. We received so many compliments from guests on how perfect the venue was, and how they enjoyed exploring the trails and gardens during the cocktail hour. You are able to rent the venue for the entire weekend so that saved us so much stress and hassle! Overall, we had the best wedding day at Timberlake and are beyond grateful to the staff for all the help and for maintaining such a beautiful venue!

Fantastic fantasy wedding!

My husband and I chose this venue to host our Lord of the Rings-inspired wedding because of how magical the property looks and feels. The woodlands is breathtaking in the Fall and the reception tent made us feel like we were the guests of honor at Bilbo’s 111th birthday party. The staff was so incredible and attentive throughout our planning process. I’d highly recommend checking out this venue if you are looking for a whimsical, deeply nature-driven wedding experience. This place really made me feel like an elven princess.
