Wonderful Down to Earth Wedding Venue
We’re so glad we chose Timberlake Earth Sanctuary for our wedding — it was truly the perfect place to celebrate such a special day. From the very beginning, working with Cyndy was so easy. She was friendly, responsive, and made the whole planning process feel smooth and stress-free.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We loved being surrounded by nature, and our guests were just as wowed by the peaceful, scenic setting. There’s so much to explore on the property, which made the whole day feel like a little adventure. It felt personal, magical, and completely us.
We also appreciated how much was included in the price — it really felt like great value for everything the venue offers.
To top it all off, we spent the night in “the treehouse,” which was such a fun and cozy way to end the day. It gave us a quiet moment to just breathe and take it all in after the celebration.
A huge thank you to Cyndy and the whole team at Timberlake — we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s peaceful, unique, and full of heart.
