    Excellent Venue

    I could go on and on about how amazing the Sherwood Event Center and staff was in making our wedding day so special and one of the best days of our lives! The event center was decorated above and beyond what I had envisioned and their service was excellent! We had so much fun!

    Just Book It

    The Sherwood Forest Event Center team is AMAZING. I'll start at the beginning. We toured, asked Gina when we could book it and what the requirements were, and within 15 minutes we had our venue for our wedding.

    Sandy, the event decorator, from Loved and Cherished Décor, was very easy to work with. We met with her once and communicated via text. We (I, the bride) showed her the vision I had, and she made it come to life. It was great to work with her because I knew what I was looking for, but didn't know how to put it together, and she did. Our wedding was beautiful.

    Gina, the event planner, answered all of my questions in a timely fashion and gave me all details needed. We met with her a couple times before our wedding date. Our vendors (DJ, photographer, and videographer) were all able to get ahold of her if needed as well. Gina worked the morning of our wedding and made sure I had everything I needed/wanted. She ran up and down the stairs to the Bridal Suite to bring us mimosas, a charcuterie board that we had made, the whole 9 yards.

    My wedding was everything I wanted and more. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Please do yourself a favor and check them out. From the Loved and Cherished Decor to the customer service of the event staff, Sherwood Forest Event Center is worth every penny.

    The Dream Venue/Team

    I cannot say enough great things about the venue and staff at Sherwood Forest. From the very first day through the wedding they were so responsive and absolutely amazing to work with. Gina, Dory and Sandy alleviated so much stress during our planning and execution through the wedding and made our dream day a reality! We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

    The perfect venue for the perfect day!

    Sherwood Forest was a dream to work with and I am so happy I had my wedding there. Throughout the last year, they were wonderfully accomodating when I wanted to meet or had questions. Gina was always very responsive to my emails and was so fun to work with. Sandy and Dory have such an amazing collection of vintage decor and had great ideas and made the space look better than I ever could have imagined. Even when other aspects of wedding planning were stressing me out, a meeting with or visit to Sherwood Forest always reenergized me and got me excited for the big day. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride looking for a unique, gorgeous, and accomodating venue! Thank you Sherwood Forest staff for all that you did!

    Baby shower

    This space is amazing! We used it for a baby shower. We didn't have a whole lot of decorations but sherwood forest did! They offered for us to use anything we needed and it turned out so good! Gina(the bartender) is amazing! She helped out so much and even set up the room that we used. The decorations were perfect for the event! It goes to show even if you don't have a wedding or a wedding reception you can use the space for anything! Owners and staff are great! So helpful!

    Sherwood Forest Event Center's reply:

    Thank you so much Tara! You are too sweet. We loved being able to be apart of such a special day.

    Great place for wedding dinner and dance reception

    We cannot say enough good things about Sherwood Forest Event Center. Gina, Sandy, and Dori were fabulous to work with as we planned our daughter's wedding reception. They offer so much more than a venue location! When you add in the table cloths, available decor options, signage, plate chargers, photo area, lounge areas, and seating chart, it is an incredible deal. When the event was over, we were out of there so quickly because we had to bring very little in to decorate. Tear down was a snap. We would most certainly schedule an event here again. Extremely happy and satisfied with our choice.

    Sherwood Forest Event Center's reply:

    We can't thank you enough for trusting and choosing us to share such a special day with you! Thank you so much for the review Leanne. :)
