    A magical forest, A+ coordinator, and the feeling of being home

    I genuinely don't know where to start with saying how much we loved being Dragonfly brides! When my wife and I were looking at options for our wedding, there really wasn't a question of what venue we loved the most. Every picture made it look magical, and then we toured and we really felt it. A big part of the magic of Dragonfly (aside from the beautiful setting in nature) is having Ana there through the whole process. Ana really helped us when we were unsure of logistics and tradition. She had an answer for every question, and she made it very clear that problem-solving is an inevitable part of her job that she enjoys doing. We knew we were in *very* safe hands working with Dragonfly and with Ana.

    The woods make planning a fairytale wedding so effortless. Every picture and video taken of our ceremony was stunning because we had such a lush backdrop behind us. It made everything feel magic!

    Having the venue for our rehearsal dinner and guest welcome was such a lovely way to invite people into our weekend in a warm and friendly manner. We also felt so comfortable being in the bridal cottage with our bridal parties! At the end of the night, having the cottage to share a final toast and chat with our loved ones was perfect. It was such a relief to not have to drive home at the end of a very long day/night. We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    A Dream Come True

    Everything about the space was perfect. We wanted a nature-esque ceremony, and the ceremonial space in the woods was beyond expectations. We love the roomy space for our guest count and cannot wait to get married there!
    Update (Postponed due to Covid-19, new date 4/3/21):
    The amount of love and support my husband (eeep!!! still feels so amazing to say that) and I felt on our wedding day is unmatched at Dragonfly. Ana and Dana are the kindest souls and truly made our wedding day one of the happiest in our lives. They cared and catered to the T and went beyond our expectations to make our wedding special. Dragonfly was on top of everything after we decided to postpone. The amount of ease and relief we received because they were very accommodating. We were so excited to start our next chapter in life at Dragonfly and any future engaged couple will not be disappointed!

    Dream come true

    We are so excited to have our wedding here next year. There is a simple elegance that embraces every aspect of the venue, from the wooden bridge that leads down the isle to the enchanted forest alter, to the waterfall that runs into the lake and the alter at the dock... THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!! Dana and Joe are the sweetest people and do everything they can to accommodate every Bride's (and Bride's mom) dream of the perfect day. I can't say enough about the special touches and the craftsmanship that they have put into the perfect place to celebrate. If you are planning a wedding, call them and schedule a tour.

    Dragonfly Wedding Venue's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Brianna! :) We are so excited for your wedding and very happy we have the opportunity of sharing your special day with you!!

    Excellent!

    Dana and Ana were so helpful in making my wedding day so special. They were always willing to meet up or schedule an apt for anything that I needed along the way. I love this venue and we were so happy with the amount of work that had been done to the venue since the time we booked the wedding. They added in the pavilion out back as well as the extra ceremony space in the woods where we ended up having our wedding. Every bit of it was perfect! And I loved being able to have the place for the whole weekend and spending the night before with my girls all there.

    Thank you, Kaitlyn! It was a gorgeous wedding, and you made a stunning bride! We're honored to have been part of your wedding!

    We had our wedding May 26 and it was absolutely gorgeous! No complaints at all. Dana was very helpful through the planning process and flexible in fitting our wants and needs. She was so kind and easy to work with! The venue itself is truly beautiful, especially the cottage. It was able to blend into our vintage outdoor theme but could easily fit a farmhouse, boho, or modern theme as well. Lots of room to create your dream wedding! I’ll never forget our wedding day, and I’m so thankful we chose Dragonfly Wedding Venue to host our ceremony and reception! Thank you Dana!

    Dragonfly Wedding Venue's reply:

    Thank you so much, Morgan, for this review! We thoroughly enjoyed you as one of our brides! The wedding was absolutely stunning, and we are so glad it was a great experience for you!

    This wedding venue was perfect for us and we absolutely loved it! We just wanted an outdoor ceremony and that’s what it provided with a beautiful scenery! Just before the wedding they built a waterfall that ran into the pond which is gorgeous and a new deck which was PERFECT because I was afraid we’d have to stand a little further back so we didn’t look like we were going downhill but it turned out great. The reception building was a little tight with how we had everything set up but it served its purpose and we were overall pleased. My favorite detail was the little lights above the patio and I just wanted to dance under them with my new husband after the sun had set and that’s just what we did. The inside of the house you’re able to stay in was beautiful! Dana is super flexible and willing to work with your schedule for enagagement pictures and bridal shower at the venue as well. Highly recommend!! 10/10!

    Gabrielle, we are so happy you chose Dragonfly to celebrate your big day! Sounds like it was a magical day for the two of you and we are thrilled to hear that! Thank you for the lovely review!

    We loved how much we were able to decorate and design as we wanted. The vendor even allowed us to set up a pavillion style tent on the property in case of rain. For out of town guests and family, like ourselves, the cottage was perfect for getting ready and gathering in all weekend. It allowed the bridal party to get together and get ready at ease. The property itself was beautiful and we had TONS of compliments.
    The only issues we encountered were ones outside of the vendor's control, those being that the linens were delivered later than we were told and that it would have certainly been a very tight fit had we had 250 guests as advertised *we had 150 which fit perfectly*. Overall, though, we were extremely pleased with our experience and would highly recommend the Dragonfly to any newlyweds!

    Dragonfly Wedding Venue's reply:

    Thank you so much, Madelene! We are very happy that you decided to use Dragonfly to celebrate your special day! We are sorry that some of the day didn't flow exactly as planned, but it ended up being wonderful and we are so thankful for that!!
