We loved Vanderwende Acres!!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Vanderwende Acres!! This venue is beautiful and was perfect for our wedding day. The coordinators and staff are amazing to work with and made my wedding day stress free! We had an issue with our desserts and some other small things the day of our wedding. Sarah, the venue director, and her staff went out of their way to make sure everything was ok and that I didn’t have to stress about it at all!! Sarah communicated with me so well while I was planning and helped me make decisions related to COVID and anything else I needed! I highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding, we had the best experience!!

Absolute perfection!

I recently hosted a baby shower for my daughter at Vanderwende Acres. Every single part was beyond perfect. The venue is breathtakingly gorgeous. Everyone I spoke with was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Hannah took the guess work out of anything that could possible be questioned. Communication was very timely from start to finish. We will be back!

The most amazing day-

I found this venue shortly after getting engaged and immediately knew it was the one. It’s stunning. My husband and I got married on October 28th at Vanderwende Acres and we are over the moon by how perfect it was. Working with Sarah was such a joy and the whole process was stress free. The whole venue is carefully thought out- and the bonus it’s that is so beautiful you don’t need much to decorate! Thank you Sarah for such a magical day!

Hi! My name is Hannah, I'm the Venue Coordinator at Vanderwende Acres!

My favorite part about working at VA is seeing the couple's vision and planning come to life! Watching the floral arrangements being placed, the candles lit, linens draped, and witnessing every detail come together the day of their wedding is magical. It’s a blessing to be able to play a role in the best day of people’s lives.

I can't wait to help ensure your wedding day at Vanderwende Acres is seamless!

xoxo
