I highly recommend this venue! It was perfect! My guests were in awe. Jo and Adam put their all into making my day perfect. I could not be happier. -
Karyn Sent on 06/04/2018We just held our son's 8th Grade Graduation Party at Brighter Daze Events with approx. 70 people. The facility and wide open spaces leave you so many configuration opportunities, you'll always have room for more and all you want to do at your event. Everyone of my guests were thrilled and amazed that they hadn't been aware of the facility! We highly recommend you you all check out this hidden gem! Host, DJ, Food, Games, Dancing, and all around fun were more than we could have dreamed of!

Alexandra Sent on 10/08/2024Brighter Daze Farm - Avoid at all costs!!
We recently had the unfortunate experience of planning our wedding at Brighter Daze Farm and we must say, it was a disappointing journey from start to finish. While the venue itself is beautiful, the professionalism of the staff and their adherence to our contract left much to be desired.
From the outset, communication was a significant issue. After submitting our deposit we had a scheduled meeting with JoAnn and our caterer, but when the day arrived, JoAnn was no where to be found. Despite arriving on time and waiting over an hour, JoAnn failed to communicate or even acknowledge our presence. I attempted to reach out via phone and email, but received no response until the following day. Despite multiple attempts to reach out for clarification on details outlined in our contract, responses were often delayed or vague. When we finally did receive answers, they frequently contradicted our original agreement. This lack of consistency created unnecessary stress as we approached our wedding date.
On the day of the event, several key aspects that were promised in our contract were either neglected or outright ignored. For example, we were assured that we would have a valet service and one week prior to our wedding we received a “heads up” unprofessional email from JoAnn that the valet double booked and we would not have valet service. After our fathers had a meeting with JoAnn about this we learned that the valet was never double booked, but JoAnn underestimated the cost of the valet and would not incur any additional costs to provide this service although it was in our contract.
Additionally, our contract included a horse carriage to take the bride down to the ceremony and five minutes before the ceremony we were told he was broken down and would not be available for 45 minutes. When we signed our contract in July of 2023 we were told we would have two full bars, one inside and one outside. Two days before our wedding we found out from our wedding coordinator that JoAnn was only allowing one full bar inside and the bar outside for cocktail hour to serve beer and wine only (at this point we had already ordered all of our alcohol). Unfortunately the amenities we were promised—such as the use of horse carriage and two full bars—were unavailable, forcing us to scramble last minute.
The unprofessionalism continued when we attempted to discuss our concerns post-wedding. Our Milwaukee leaf blower was missing the next morning when we arrived to pick up all of our decor, our wedding cake (more than 90% left) that was asked to be kept overnight was in the dumpster, and our custom dog cake toppers were also missing. We then went to the dumpster to find our wedding cake thrown away, and after getting in the dumpster to look for our custom cake toppers we never found them. After asking to speak to JoAnn and Adam about these issues, they finally agreed to meet with us after trying to contact them multiple times and they refused to take any accountability.
JoAnn displayed unprofessional behavior, yelling at our family members, when all we wanted was answers, and we deserved those answers after spending thousands of dollars. What’s more concerning is their complete lack of accountability for the terms they broke. JoAnn blamed the vendors that she contracted out for all of the issues that were at hand. Instead of addressing our concerns, they deflected responsibility and we were told to “get the fuck off their property”. We also told JoAnn she is not allowed to use our photos to advertise and we were told she will use any photos she wants and that she had already blocked us on Facebook. JoAnn let us know that our wedding was the wedding from hell, while all of our guests and vendors told us it was the nicest wedding Brighter Daze has ever hosted and will ever host.
As for the vendors hired by Brighter Daze (NOT EMPLOYED BY BRIGHTER DAZE) including the bartenders, wedding coordinator, and DJ were absolutely wonderful. Our coordinator shared her frustrations towards JoAnn with us and that this would be the last wedding she would ever work at Brighter Daze due to JoAnn’s unprofessionalism for our wedding and others before. Multiple vendors hired by JoAnn told us that every wedding with her is a circus and unprofessional. The vendors that we hired ourselves also told us they will never work a wedding there again and do not want to be affiliated with Brighter Daze in any way.
We absolutely cannot recommend Brighter Daze Farm based on our experience to anyone for their special day. Weddings are meant to be joyful occasions, but the lack of professionalism and disregard for our contract turned ours into a source of stress. Instead of feeling excited about our big day, we left feeling anxious and disheartened. Communication and respect are crucial in the wedding planning process, and unfortunately, that was non existent here. Please learn from our mistake and avoid BrighterDaze Farm at all costs.
I have photos of all email threads and the cake in the dumpster, but cannot attach them here. Please feel free to reach out to me if you already have plans on getting married here.

I recently attended a wedding at this venue. Very pretty place but the owners, especially JoAnn. She has no idea what professionalism is. She promises the bride and groom she will deliver what they ask for and even signs a contract Then, as it gets closer to the wedding day, she starts pulling the carpets out from under them. Want a valet, sure...oh sorry, he's not available and I am NOT looking for someone else, want 2 bars...sure, oh wait, you can't serve cocktails at both bars, want to ride in a horse and carriage to the wedding site, OK, oh sorry, the horse and buggy are going to be about 45 minutes late, want to delay your ceremony! and on, and on, and on.
They even threw away the wedding cake! The bride was dumpster diving the next day to retrieve her custom made cake toppers that were no where to be found!
Please do your research on other sites regarding this vendor before you book this venue. This couple isn't the only one who had a bad experience.
