It was an absolute dream to have our wedding at Prairie Moon Winery. A few things that stood out as exceptional were the staff, the space, and how easy the entire experience felt from start to finish. Kacie was incredible to work with. She made planning feel calm and simple, responded quickly every time, and was knowledgeable and honest throughout the process. She helped us with every detail and handled every request, even the unusual ones. She made everything seamless, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. The venue itself is gorgeous inside and out. Our guests loved being able to move between the reception space, the lawn, and the vineyard. It created such an effortless flow and a beautiful atmosphere for everyone. The decor pieces provided by the venue saved us time and money, and there were endless spots for incredible photos. Prairie Moon was flexible with everything we asked for and made the entire day feel easy. We had an amazing experience and would choose this venue again without hesitation.

The best views in the area, beautiful setting and great vision for what they are working towards. My kids love the horses

We had no doubt hickory park would be a crowd favorite and the buffet definitely was a hit. We had very little leftovers which was great. Hickory park showed up on time, set up and restocked the buffet table and even packaged up the leftovers for us to take home at the end of the night. You can't lose when you have hickory park at your wedding.

We went to tour the venue at the end of February and got married in front of the small waterfall they have outside late July. We told them upfront that we would be moving a couple days after touring there. They worked with us on price and late zoom meetings or phone calls. They responded well to texts and emails the day of the wedding. The price includes the meal, hors d'oeuvres, late snacks, the chairs and decorations, the venue itself, and for 3 rooms for 4 days.

I would definitely recommend the Alumni Center as a Wedding Reception venue! They were flexible to our needs, emailed regularly with updates, and helped us on the day when we were setting up. Also the venue is picture perfect!

We loved having our wedding at Reiman! The grounds were absolutely beautiful. We had to use the indoor backup option, which was still gorgeous. Having such a great indoor backup option was one of the reasons we booked the place. The room was just the right size for our group. We liked that we could bring in whatever vendors we wanted to personalize the wedding to us. It was so convenient to be able to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in one location. Our guests really appreciated being able to flow right from one event to the other. The only downside is the really small green room, which means you have to get ready somewhere else (we were planning on it anyway so it really wasn't a huge deal).

Beautiful ceremony area. Staff were very friendly!

I had the BEST experience working with Jessica and Cheryl when planning my wedding day (and during the wedding day). They were prompt, helpful, respectful, and incredibly fun to work with! We got nothing but compliments about how wonderful Jessica was (the wedding coordinator), and how amazing the food was (props to Cheryl for that!!). Jessica handled anything and everything that needed to be addressed the day of the wedding. She was incredibly kind and helpful as well. I didn't have to worry about a thing the entire day! Jessica and Cheryl are truly the dream team. I had so much fun planning with them, and they made everything so easy. Two wonderful people that know what they are doing!

This was the most gorgeous venue. We had the wedding inside, the reception outside, and our guests from out of town stayed here for two nights. Dean and Denise, the hosts were so warm, fun, accommodating, and kind. The property is beautiful inside and out. Beautiful interiors, gorgeous art on the walls, comfortable and yet aesthetically pleasing, COMFY beds, filled with light. It is lush, green, roomy and beautiful outside. Right by the river, filled with flowers, and just a dream. DELICIOUS breakfast included. Our guests loved it and so did we. So glad we got married here. Beautiful memories.
