    My husband and I loved the facility at Countryside! We had our ceremony and reception there, and everything went very smoothly. The setup for the reception was great - we had a caricaturist and beanbags games (to go with our baseball themed wedding) and we had tons of room to set everything up and still had lots of room to dance. The food was also outstanding. We did the Summer Time Fun Buffet (to go with our baseball themed wedding) and it was great! Their fees were extremely reasonable, especially compared to other venues in the area. Kristi was very responsive and patient with my many questions. We had a fantastic experience with the entire team and I would definitely work with them again!

    Kristi Cape was a joy to work with. We basically selected Countryside Banquet for the food! I have attend several events there through the years and knew I could count on the staff to have a delicious meal. We were not disappointed. We had a buffet with Roasted Chicken and Beef Tips. Everything was perfect. We had so many compliments on the food and the staff. In addition, she has a wonderful working relationship with Create-A-Scene, the company that supplies our floral, centerpieces, and backdrops. That made it very easy and saved me many phone calls the week before the wedding.

    They provided several different menu options. We went with the cocktail buffet and all the food was great. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Quality of service was wonderful, they responsiveness & attention are always impeccable, the level of professionalism and their knowledge of the business was above and beyond my expectations, the value for cost was terrific - you more than your monies worth and their flexibility is good.

    Terrific place, the main hall and entrance were just remodeled and it looks wonderful! The garden tent is gorgeous and wonderful for nice weather events. Kristi is always full of great ideas if you need any help with anything!

    AWESOME vendor and facility. We were in the garden tent and we absolutely loved it! It was so romantic and summery. They were so great to work with and very personable and friendly. Answered any questions we had at any time. Also received many compliments on the tent and food!

    We had our wedding and reception at Countryside Banquet on September 26. Everything was wonderful! We were in contact with Kristi throughout the planning of the wedding and reception. She was able to answer all of our questions and got back with us right away. We had the wedding and reception inside the building for 275 people and everything looked beautiful! The turn around from the ceremony to the reception was very quick. The room looked beautiful and the food was delicious! Kristi was so nice, and helpful and fun to work with throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Countryside to anyone who is looking for a venue in this area. The only thing I would have changed is the timing of when the food was put out and our first dance, the buffet was already set up for people to eat, so we did our first dance in the back of the room near the cake, (this may have been our fault for the way we set up the timing), but other than that everything was wonderful!

    My husband and I just had our fall wedding in the Countryside Banquet Tent. We planned from out of state and Kristi helped make that job easier. She has worked previously with other vendors we used and made the coordination of services seamless. Her team provided excellent service the day of the wedding. I had guests comment that the staff was accommodating. The food was also excellent. Some of our choices came by recommendation of one of our vendors who has had the food and we were not disappointed. The tent fit right into our vision for our reception and did not disappoint. There was also another wedding reception being held in their indoor banquet area (shared parking lot). I would not have known there were two events occurring simultaneously. Thank you Kristi and the Countryside team for your help in making our day as special as we hoped it would be!

    We used Countryside's tent for our wedding. We held the ceremony on their outdoor patio and the reception in the tent. We had outdoor games in the grass out front. Kristi LaHood owns and runs Countryside. Kristi has kind of a harsh personality and doesn't beat around the bush. She's very busy, but responds to emails quickly. She had a lot of rules for the tent but was also accommodating with the lighting we wanted to use. Overall it was a very positive experience and our wedding was beautiful and perfect.
