    Perfect affordable wedding venue

    This was the perfect venue for our wedding. Katy and her team went above and beyond for us and were great through the whole planning process. Our guests all loved the venue too and it was the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor space. Very affordable with lots of options to add on to make the day run smoothly. Full decor closet which we definitely took advantage of. The bride and grooms houses were great to add on to our package and were the perfect spot to get ready and relax before we started the ceremony. Lots of cute photo op locations throughout the venue. I highly recommend The Backyard Venue for any type of event.

    Truly Amazing!

    I hosted a worship Night at the Backyard Venue and it was absolutely wonderful! While the venue was beautiful, the great service I recieved made my experience even more memorable. Katy the venue manager worked with me every step of the way to ensure logistics ran smoothly and complete satisfaction with every aspect of the booking. This place is great! You won't regret it 😌

    Amazing experience! Amazing value! Great location!

    I got married at The Backyard Venue 2 weeks ago and I highly recommend them for your next gathering for many reasons: The place is beautifully manicured. The management is VERY supportive and will make extra appointments if needed to show it to your future Mom-in-Law which was a very special moment for me and her. The staff is amazing! They helped me with everything and more! On the day of, heavy rain poured 2 hours before my outdoor ceremony was to happen. Katy kept comforting me and assuring me that everything was going to be okay. The venue staff rushed to move all the chairs that were already setup on the turf and once the rain passed, they squeegeed the entire area before setting up the chairs and arch again! Then, 50 minutes before the wedding, I got a call from our DJ saying he had gotten in a car wreck and would not be able to make it. Everyone started helping me find solutions so my ceremony and reception would have music. EVERYONE was so helpful! I paid to have the venue decorated by them too and it turned out absolutely beautiful! I love The Backyard Venue's open vendor policy which allowed us to shop for the best deals we could find, including for catering. Katy and her team will do anything to make sure your event is a memorable one. Trust me, it’s worth every penny! Thank you, The Backyard Venue, for the amazing experience you gave me and my groom on our special day!

    Beautiful venue!!!!

    My husband and I decided to get married three days from that date. We only had a couple days to plan this wedding. I located this venue online and when I reached out, Katy was very kind and went out of her way to make our chosen date work. She recommended her father to marry us and he was amazing as well. The venue is absolutely beautiful. It’s secluded, romantic, and lots of animals. They have beautiful photo opportunity set up to get the best pictures and she went out of her way to make sure everything was great even though it was very last minute. I would highly recommend this venue.

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    We knew right away that this newly built, gorgeous venue was the perfect place to have a wedding. We wanted a lush, beautiful setting to have the ceremony outside with a modern and elegant indoor space for the reception. It was incredible to see how stunning the photographs were for our perfect day!, especially with the lush green backgrounds or photos in front of the large barn doors. So much time and work we put in to planning the perfect day and Katy and the entire event staff made sure every detail was taken care of. They were so professional- very organized, incredibly helpful and made such a huge difference in making the entire wedding day go smoothly and without stress. The bridal cottage for the girls to get ready in is incredible- brand new with such charming and photo perfect details. Compared to the many other venues we toured, The Backyard Venue was by far the best -new, stunning and very affordable, Highly recommend!

    Beautiful Venue and Wonderful Owner/Staff

    This is a beautiful venue and the owners really know where to step in to make sure your wedding/event is successful. Our daughter was married there this past weekend and it was absolutely magical. The options are endless with the outdoors spaces and indoor space. The newly installed heaters under the pavilion ensured for a good time even on a cold night. The clear bubble umbrellas were such a nice touch/vibe. From the golf cart drivers to the owners themselves everything was perfect. Katy even redid an area that was destroyed by the wind and add some flowers she had in her inventory as well. Highly recommend The Backyard Venue!!!

    High quality people with high quality experience

    As soon as I arrived at The Backyard Venue, I immediately felt at home with the staff and the overall feel of the venue. The acreage was beautifully renovated and is a great space to make any backyard feeling wedding day dreams come to life. As a wedding photographer, it is extremely important to feel comfortable with the staff at a venue to help my day run smoothly and for my creativity to flourish. I did not once feel worried that I couldn't get the shots that I needed or try new things at the venue. I can't wait to work with this amazing staff again soon and serve many wonderful couples on their wedding day at The Backyard Venue!

    Great Venue

    Lasting Bridal Couture was lucky enough to be apart of a styled shoot and they borrowed some at our dresses to use. They were great with fast communication and the venue itself is gorgeous. We would highly recommend this venue.
