    Best Decision Ever

    This was the first and only venue my husband and I looked at then we began planning our wedding, we fell in love. It’s gorgeous without a doubt and Shelly was so great and easy to work with we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing day! Even though 20 minutes before the ceremony we had to change to have the ceremony inside due to rain it was beautiful either way! The bar staff as well as the recommended vendors she works with are all just as amazing! Thank you !

    Thank you for the kind review. We are so lucky you chose us for your special day. You had a beautiful wedding even though the weather did not cooperate. You will be our first one in the books of a last minute change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. I feel like it went flawless a lot of which had to do with your ease and confidence and laid-back spirit. We look forward to seeing your pictures and we love your style.

    Fun, stress free, and relaxed

    The Ponds was a perfect fit for our wedding! The venue offered something for all our guests. The venue itself was clean and beautiful. The owners truly want you to have the best day, helping in any way possible. I cannot say enough good things about The Ponds!

    Beautiful Venue

    Venue was beautiful, lots of room for dancing and room for getting ready. Only complaints were that the walk to the ceremony space outside is very uneven (wasn’t an issue for us, but was for older family members), and really plan to over estimate what your alcohol cost is. We ordered more than what they had suggested, and still ran out very quickly. Overall good experience, had beautiful photos.

    The most gorgeous venue i have ever been to!

    I cannot recommend this venue enough! The Ponds Venue is AMAZING! I drove past this brand new venue last year after getting engaged and pulled my car over to admire the property from the road. I immediately made an appointment to tour the grounds and booked the same day. This was the only venue I looked at and was so blown away by everything that I knew it was where I was supposed to get married. There is already a ton of decor to make decorating simple and the venue itself is so beautiful, I personally, do not think it needs much when decorating. There are also several add-ons (clean-up, shuttle service, day-of coordinating, etc.) that helped to make my special day less stressful. The ceremony site and reception area are all at the same location which makes it very convenient for guests. Our guests could not stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was. Aside from it being a phenomenal venue, Shelly, the owner is an EXTREMELY helpful and kind individual. Our families appreciated her kind words and willingness to help at every turn. Whenever a problem arose, Shelly had a remedy. I had always dreamed about having the most perfect wedding, and I was so thrilled with the day we had at The Ponds Venue with Shelly! My husband and I were surrounded by so much love and support and it was in the most beautiful venue. I am so excited to see what future weddings and events are held here!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for the kind review. We absolutely loved your wedding and reception. Such a kind and attractive group you have surrounded yourself with. It was good vibes all around. Your dress and pictures are amazing and we will be using them on our social media for months to come. Your wedding looked something out of a magazine and we are so fortunate you chose us to begin your happily ever after!

    Wedding made easy!

    Beautiful venue, exceptionally flexible and helpful with the wedding planning. Things went smoothly and we enjoyed our day :)

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Great pic Ashley! We loved hosting your ceremony. Your grandparents were such a hoot... what a beautiful cake your grandmother made and what a beautiful singing voice your grandfather has!

    Absolutely Stunning! Most Impressive Venue Around!

    The Ponds is so incredibly beautiful that you have to see it in person. I mean look at these photos! Our daughter had so many compliments on the venue and wedding and the location was key! It is absolutely stunning and Shelly was always accommodating and helpful and always responded when we had any questions. She let us visit several times to measure and go over plans. The decor items she has are out of this world! The wrap around fireplace, outdoor firepit, ponds, and atmosphere make this place a treasure!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for your kind review. You made the venue look even more beautiful with your personal touches. We will enjoy the photos. Thanks for sharing your special day with us.

    Best Venue ever

    From the moment I met the venue owner, the building wasn’t even up, but with her vision I knew in my heart this was it and wow! The venue is stunning and was everything I dreamed of for my wedding day!
    Shelly is great and so accommodating, understanding and truly here for every bride to be!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for the review. You will always be one of our "special" brides for taking a leap of faith from just a verbal description of the future venue! I love your beautiful spirit and your love story will be one of my favorites for a long time to come.

    Amazing/ so beautiful

    Amazing Venue and Staff! Shelly the owner is so helpful and accommodating! She will make sure your day is PERFECT! There isn’t one this about our day I would want to change it was amazing! We got so many complaints on how beautiful the venue was during the reception and even up to this day!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for the nice review. Your wedding was memorable in so many ways (lol). You were certainly a beautiful bride.

    Absolute perfection for dream wedding

    Absolutely the most perfect venue for a wedding! Shelly and her husband thought out every detail of a wedding venue when they built The Ponds Venue. Last minute I found The Ponds when my previous venue had so many restrictions due to Covid that they could not accommodate us any longer for the wedding we had planned. Shelly jumped right in, she was so flexible to everything that we needed down to every little detail. She accepted all of my vendors that I previously had contracts with, to come in and work to make my wedding day perfection. Truly was a dream come true wedding day, every detail was exactly as I pictured it, and I know whole heartedly that it happened for a reason that I found The Ponds for my wedding day after so much stress from Covid. Truly blessed and thankful. Highly recommend this venue to absolutely anyone and everyone. If you want a beautiful venue for your wedding day, that can accommodate, is flexible, so easy to work with, and just downright caring this is the place to be!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for the kind review. The style and attention to detail you brought to the Venue was amazing. I love looking at the photos of how beautifully decorated it was. I am so glad you found us and that I got to be a special part of your day. The two of your were blissfully in love and it showed on your wedding day!

    It was EXACTLY what we wanted!!!

    We had the absolute BEST experience at The Ponds Venue. Extremely beautiful and a very large property to capture a bunch of great pictures. Very large indoor and outdoor patio area. It fit a lot of people and we never felt smashed with slightly over 150 guests. Can definitely fit more comfortably! Shelly is amazing to work with! She lets you have the wedding of your dreams and doesn't push or try and manage your day. If you tell her how you want something, she will have it ready for your big day!

    Something to note: This venue includes a TON more than you'll get at any other venue, included in the rental price. Some rental places, especially barns, charge an outrageous price and you don't get much. Here, you get a ton (length of rental is a huge plus)! I cannot express enough have beautiful this venue is. We were one of the first weddings at this venue and our guests could not get over how beautiful this place is. It's truly jaw dropping.

    THANK YOU, SHELLY!!!!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for the great review. I'm so glad to hear you had the perfect wedding, that is my main goal with all my brides. Your day was extra special because your Dad was the guy that got it all started for us. It was amazing to think that a year ago to the date of your wedding we started designing/ordering materials from your dad! Who would have thought a year later his daughter would have been getting married in that very venue! Fate! Thank you Hoffman's!

    9/5/2020 wedding

    Venue is super pretty and everything was perfect!
    Guest loved the venue and the option to be inside or outside on the patio, beautiful landscape for pictures! We had our ceremony and reception all at one place and the guest loved it!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for the review. Your wedding was meaningful in so many ways especially being the very first wedding we hosted. It was beautiful!

    Hidden Gem

    This is the venue that every bride dreams about! We booked when there was only a steel frame. It was better than anything we could have imagined. Shelly the owner, has an eye for beauty, detail, interior design, and creating a unique space. I feel so lucky that we found them and I am forever grateful for this venue and the owners. Shelly understands that weddings are expensive but also one of the most important days of your life. She has a decoration room full of high quality beautiful decor. The live edge tables, fireplace and unique touches are stunning and make this space one of a kind. The outdoors and landscape are just as beautiful as the inside. Plenty of opportunities for pictures on the property. Oh and she has an amazing bridal suite where you can get ready. I could
    Go on and on about how amazing everything is but you’ll have to see for yourself. Don’t let this space pass you by. It is even more gorgeous in person!

    The Ponds Venue's reply:

    Thank you for the special review. When I first met you two I thought you were nuts for booking a venue that hadn't been built yet. It inspired me to make it better than you had imagined. Your wedding will always be extra special as it was my first booking as The Ponds Venue. My dream was coming to light at that moment. I wish you guys many happy days ahead and a revisit to the venue for other happy occasions.
