Twelve Acres – More Than We Could Have Hoped For!

We had our wedding at Twelve Acres, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived to the very last dance, everything was handled with such care and professionalism that we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our big day.

The venue itself is beautiful—spacious, elegant, and perfect for creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. But what really made our experience stand out was the incredible staff. The waitstaff and bar staff were absolutely phenomenal. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making the night as smooth and enjoyable as possible for us and all of our guests. Every request was met with a smile, and the service was fast and seamless all evening long.

A special thank you goes to Bunmi, who was an absolute dream to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and that we felt relaxed and supported throughout the planning process and the day itself. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication truly made a difference—she was like a calm in the storm, and we are so grateful for everything she did for us.

Our guests are still raving about how great everything was, from the food to the service to the overall vibe of the evening. If you’re considering Twelve Acres for your event, we couldn’t recommend it more highly. It was everything we hoped for and so much more.

Thank you, Twelve Acres, for helping us create memories we will cherish forever

Extremely responsive

We held a celebration of life at Twelve acres. Bunmi, the banquet manager, was extremely helpful and responsive. We explored many other venues and found, what we considered to be reasonable prices at a beautiful location at Twelve acres. The food was excellent and the weight staff was attentive. I was very happy with my decision to hold our event at Twelve Acres.

Absolute amazing experience

Where do I even begin? From start to finish, our experience was absolutely incredible. Not only was the price unbelievably accommodating and affordable, but the level of care, attention, and support we received was unmatched.

Bunmi is a literal angel. She went above and beyond to help me save money wherever possible, offering guidance on where to cut back without sacrificing the experience. Every detail came together flawlessly. We had our wedding in the Willow Room, which was stunning, and we were also given an additional side room for our buffet, a thoughtful touch that made the flow of the evening perfect.

One of the most unforgettable moments: I was about to walk down the aisle when I realized I had forgotten my bouquet. Without hesitation, Bunmi ran up the hill, jumped in my car, grabbed it, and got it back to me just in time in 80-something degree heat. That is the kind of dedication you rarely see.

After our ceremony and photos, they did something so special that meant the world to us. They tucked us away in a private room to give us about 45 minutes of just us time. They brought in our drinks, all of our food, and allowed us to take a moment together to soak everything in before heading into the reception. It was intimate, peaceful, and something I didn’t even know I needed until it happened.

The attentiveness didn’t stop there. I had my 12-month-old daughter with me, and the staff not only washed and warmed her bottles but brought them directly to me.

It was the most seamless, beautiful day I could have imagined. If you’re considering this venue, this is where you should go. The space is beautiful, the team is beyond amazing, and they genuinely care about making your day perfect.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Bunmi and the entire staff. You made our wedding unforgettable.

An Unforgettable Wedding Day at Twelve Acres

We had our wedding at Twelve Acres on May 25, 2025, and it was truly perfect! The wait staff was amazing—attentive, kind, and made sure that we and our guests were taken care of the entire night. The bar staff was just as excellent, keeping everything running smoothly with great service and energy.

A very special thank you to Bunmi, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She helped bring every detail together, kept us calm, and made the entire planning process feel easy. Her support meant so much to us, and we’re so grateful for her dedication and care.

Briana, who came in on her day off to help set up our arch the morning of the wedding after it rained the night before. That extra effort did not go unnoticed!

We’re so happy we chose Twelve Acres—thank you for making our day unforgettable.

Twelve Acres has a casual, friendly and relaxed atmosphere with several great places to take photographs. The staff always goes out of their way to make couples feel special and is great at coordinating the jp/minister if a ceremony is there, the dj and photographer to allow for enough time for photographs and for the couple not to feel rushed. We've photographed several weddings there and appreciate how well landscaped the grounds are.
