Miguel S. Sent on 05/18/2024Dream wedding at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary, perfect nature venue!
Our wedding at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary was an absolute dream come true! Nature has always been a significant part of our relationship, so finding a venue that allowed us to celebrate our love surrounded by the beauty of the natural world was incredibly important to us. Timberlake Earth Sanctuary was the perfect location for us to tie the knot.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene, picturesque setting. The lush greenery, tranquil lake, and peaceful ambiance created an enchanting atmosphere that made our special day truly magical. The staff at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, attending to every detail with care and professionalism.
The outdoor ceremony space was breathtaking, and we felt so connected to nature and to each other, making our marriage even more meaningful.

Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more, and we couldn't have chosen a better venue. We are forever grateful for the unforgettable memories created at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special and beautiful place to get married!Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:

Best Weekend Ever
Timberlake Earth Sanctuary provided the most beautiful dream wedding weekend that we could ever ask for. The staff is responsive, attentive and some of the kindest people we have ever met! We did a weekend retreat and stayed in the Treehouse, while the wedding party stayed in the Tent Village! We had a beautiful rehearsal dinner in the Barn, Ceremony in the Woodlands and Reception at the Tent and the Gardens! The entire property is just beautiful and so well maintained. I have absolutely no complaints about choosing Timberlake Earth Sanctuary for our perfect wedding weekend and would highly recommend them to anyone! 10/10!Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Hi Myra! Thank you so much for taking the time to send your wonderful pictures and this lovely review, we deeply appreciate it.
It was so much fun having you and Jorge, and your wonderful families, here for the weekend. Jen and CC raved about how beautiful and magical your wedding was. Best wishes, and please come visit us when you can, Cyndy -

The Best Experience You Could Ask For
After looking through over 50 venues, I felt at a loss. I knew the vision I had in mind, but couldn't find the right place to tie it all together. I searched "woodland wedding venue" to try and find the venue I was looking for, and Timberlake was the first suggestion.
From the first contact with Cyndy, I knew this place was definitely something special. They answer all of your questions in a friendly, timely manner. The pricing is amazing compared to other venues in the same area. Once you see the venue in person - you're sold.
We went with the destination weekend package, which includes plenty of time for set up & take down, plus some extra time for just relaxing before the big day. The reminders sent by Cyndy were incredibly helpful in making sure we were on track with the planning. We have gotten so many compliments on this amazing venue. If you're looking for a beautiful, natural venue, this is the place for you.Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Thank you so much for your review, Tiffany! And for the gorgeous pictures, they are stunning! We absolutely loved having you here to celebrate this most-important moment in your lives. Best wishes for a marriage filled with love, peace, and lots of fun together! -

TES was amazing to work with! We live out of state, and Cyndy was so willing to work with us and accommodate our unusual circumstances to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The site itself is GORGEOUS and so much bigger than we realized, and our entire group loved the location and variety. TES was perfect for our dream woodland wedding!Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Thank you so much for taking time to leave us this kind review Lauren! We are SO happy that your wedding came together as you hoped. We really loved having you and your group with us for the weekend. Please come visit us when you can, best wishes, Cyndy -

Molly Sent on 12/15/2023Most Magical Venue
Timberlake was the perfect place to have our wedding. Their woodlands ceremony spot allowed us to have the enchanted forest wedding of our dreams. Their garden was adorable for our cocktail hour and the tent is large and twinkles with market lights for a romantic reception. The whole property makes you want to slow down and relax, which is much needed on such a big day. Cyndy and Carolyn are such kind people and made us feel like family. One of our favorite things about Timberlake is that you have access to the property from Friday - Sunday, allowing you to prep the day before and spend the wedding night in the Treehouse with your new husband/wife. The Treehouse is cozy and quiet, making for an easy place to get away after the wedding. We absolutely adored Timberlake, everybody who works there, and the magical memories we made in such a gorgeous place. We will be recommending it for years to come and will definitely be going back to walk the trails and reminisce.Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Dear Molly,
Thank you so much for sharing your kind comments and for sharing these gorgeous photos!!
We just loved having you here for your most magical, musical ceremony surrounded by the trees. It was a real blessing for us to end our season with such a special and beautiful wedding! Carolyn & I will be looking forward to seeing you when you come back to visit!! Best wishes and so much happiness to you and Matt!

There is not a single thing we would change about this venue! From the incredibly kind, helpful, and respectful staff to the absolutely beautiful land, Timberlake was the most perfect place for us to get married. The staff were so communicative and did everything to make sure we felt completely prepared and excited. The property is so peaceful and beautiful. We received so many compliments from guests on how perfect the venue was, and how they enjoyed exploring the trails and gardens during the cocktail hour. You are able to rent the venue for the entire weekend so that saved us so much stress and hassle! Overall, we had the best wedding day at Timberlake and are beyond grateful to the staff for all the help and for maintaining such a beautiful venue!Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:

Fantastic fantasy wedding!
My husband and I chose this venue to host our Lord of the Rings-inspired wedding because of how magical the property looks and feels. The woodlands is breathtaking in the Fall and the reception tent made us feel like we were the guests of honor at Bilbo’s 111th birthday party. The staff was so incredible and attentive throughout our planning process. I’d highly recommend checking out this venue if you are looking for a whimsical, deeply nature-driven wedding experience. This place really made me feel like an elven princess.Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Thank you Sherlyn! We just loved celebrating with you and Chance, it was truly mythical. We are wishing you many magical years of happiness! -

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary; it felt like a dreamy fairytale. We had our ceremony at the "Woodlands" location under the beautiful trees. The tent and patio along with the firepit made an excellent environment for cocktail hour and our reception. We stayed in the treehouse for the wedding weekend and it was amazing to be surrounded by nature. There were so many good photo locations on the property, we're going back to stay for our 1 year anniversary to enjoy the land and take more photos! The staff at Timberlake are just incredible. They were great to communicate with and treated us and our guests with such kindness. Thank you to everyone at Timberlake for making our wedding better than I could have imagined and for welcoming us back with open arms! This will be a place we will treasure for years to come.Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Thank you so much Erin! We really appreciate this very kind and thoughtful review! We just loved celebrating this beautiful occasion with you and Aaron, and we can't wait to have you back for your anniversary! Cheers! -

We just had our wedding on 11/13/21 at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary and it was our perfect weekend.
Our wedding in the woods was absolutely perfect! We booked the renovated Barn area for our rehearsal dinner, and the aesthetic and functionality of the space was exactly what we wanted. The Woodlands was our perfect ceremony location with a background that was naturally gorgeous.
Cyndy and her team were simply amazing on our wedding day. They helped transport guests in need from our ceremony to reception, as well as, kept the fire going during our *brisk* disco party reception all night long :).
We had the most amazing time! Nothing but amazing things say about TES.
Thank you Timberlake Earth Sanctuary for our perfect wedding weekend!!!

Where do I even start. Everything about Timberlake was absolutely perfect! The communication from the being was phenomenal. We started planning 2 years out and we are from Tampa, FL and Cyndy was extremely accommodating and flexible. They make sure that every part of your special day is thought through and executed to your vision. They are the perfect amount of hands on while also giving you the space to make the area really feel like yours for the weekend. We instantly gravitated to Timberlake because of the blissfulness of the property and the ability to immerse in nature, but Cyndy and the staff really sold it for us. They helped to make every single one of my dreams come true, from the send off to letting us plant a tree for the Unity Ceremony. The day of, they helped to move everything along on our schedule. Sandy and the other staff driving the golf carts were so helpful and we received such praise from our guest. Sandy even went to get a sign for me after dropping me off at the reception area when I realized it was left at the ceremony site. I could write an entire paper about how amazing that weekend was for us, but I will end with this, if you want a magical and perfect wedding with a venue you can 100% trust, choose Timberlake. Thank you Cyndy, Carolyn, Sandy, and Carrether.Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Thank you Destiny for your very sweet and wonderful review! We deeply appreciate this. And we especially appreciated the opportunity to meet you and Colter, and your families, and to host your beautiful wedding here at Timberlake. I know you'll be back to visit your special tree! We look forward to seeing you! Best wishes and love,

Jason C. Sent on 12/13/2021Incredible Value for Worry Free Woodland Oasis
If you are reading this review right now, you already know that planning a wedding can be a stressful process. If you choose Timberlake Earth Sanctuary to host your wedding, your stress level will be significantly reduced. Not only will you feel completely at peace in the gorgeous wooded setting, but the team at Timberlake is able to put you at ease through the entire planning process. Cyndy was very attentive and was able to guide us through the process of developing and executing a vision for our day. If we needed anything, we were always responded to promptly, and the entire process was seamless.
The property has plenty of room to spread out and a variety of different spots to utilize depending on the size of your guest list. We had around 135 people, and we were able to comfortably accommodate everybody for a ceremony under the pines, and a reception under the included tent. All of the parking and golf cart shuttling was taken care of on the day by the very attentive and professional staff.
After a night of eating, drinking, dancing, and running around taking pictures, we were able to retire to the tree house. It was so peaceful to slowly wake up the next morning with my new wife, drink some coffee and reflect on the whirlwind we had just been through while plotting out our honeymoon plans.
If you are looking for incredible value in a secluded setting with plenty of room to spread out, this is absolutely the perfect venue for your wedding. We never even imagined that our wedding would be as perfect as it was, and the folks at Timberlake helped to make it that way.
Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Dear Jason,
Thank you so much for your kind comments! We were completely thrilled to host your unique and beautiful-earthy celebration here at Timberlake. Getting to know your wonderful families, topped off with square dancing and a wonderful band was a real treat for us! We wish you the very best! Please, please come back and see us when you can. with love, Cyndy

Emily D. Sent on 02/14/2022Beautiful unique nature based wedding venue
If you’re someone who loves and feels a true connection to nature you should definitely consider Timberlake Earth Sanctuary. We found TES in 2019 and immediately fell in love with the ceremony space. Cyndy and her team were so kind and communicative. You can tell they really cherish the space and want to help make couples visions come to life.
Like many couples we had to postpone our 2020 wedding and Cyndy and here team were so compassionate and understanding. They made postponing as seamless as possible and you can tell they truly cared about our feelings on health and safety for ourselves and our guests.
To begin: the space is absolutely beautiful. When looking at outdoor venues in this region you’re choices are typically fancy mountain top vista or rustic barn. TES is different. It offers a peaceful tucked away area where you and your guests feel you are part of the nature, not just a visitor or observer. The pine tree cathedral ceremony space is so unique and beautiful. It feels like a woodland fairytale. Walking down the “aisle” to my now husband while my dress rustled through the leaves and pine needles is a moment I’ll never forget.
The reception area is equally beautiful with trees, flowering plants, and fairy lights bordering the outdoor dance floor. Our guests danced the night away under the stars. If you want an all outdoor wedding. This is it. Our wedding was in August and I was so worried it would be too hot. It ended up being 95 degrees and I believe relaxed vibe, shade from the trees, and welcoming nature of the venue helped our guests (literally) kick off their shoes, throw their hair up, unbutton shirts and just have fun and connect with each other despite the sweaty weather.
The treehouse was a perfect getting ready space with beautiful porches to relax on and plenty of living room and kitchen space to entertain me and my bridesmaids. We ended up having our rehearsal dinner on the grounds just outside the treehouse and had a wonderful night. Having the access to the venue space and treehouse for the whole weekend really make setup and clean up so much more relaxed. My husband and I got to take a nature walk through the trails the morning of our wedding and it is one of my favorite memories of the day.
Can’t recommend this venue space and team enough. I hope to come back and visit TES many times in the future!Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Dear Emily,
Thank you so much for this beautiful, helpful, and comprehensive review and sharing your wonderful pictures. We were honored that you chose to celebrate this sacred time with us at Timberlake! And so touched to hear how the peace of the land and trails here was part of making your wedding day special. We are wishing you so much happiness. Please come back and visit us when you can, I know you're not too far away now!
With love,

OH MY GOSH. I can't say enough fantastic things about Timberlake, or about Cyndy.
My fiance (now husband?! Aahh) and I have always been nature folks, and we knew that we wanted to get married in a location that really captured this part of our relationship. Timberlake was PHENOMENAL in this regard; located just outside the city (and less than 30 mins from an airport), but it offers complete seclusion. We really felt like we had an entire forest to ourselves for the weekend.
The venue itself - gorgeous. We chose the Woodlands ceremony site, which was everything I could have ever wanted for our sacred ceremony. It's right outside the Treehouse (which the couple gets to stay in for the weekend, if you get the weekend package!), making it perfect for my bridal party to use to get ready before stepping out for the ceremony.
Cyndy and the rest of the team were absolutely incredible. Two facts about me: I micromanage and am a perfectionist with myself, and I can get burnt out pretty quickly because of this. Since my fiance and I had a three year long engagement (thanks, Covid), by the end of that engagement period, while I was excited, I was also pretty done with everything. I still cared about the small stuff, but I didn't have the energy in me to confirm all the small details I would usually have been triple-checking. POINT BEING, I had absolutely no reason to worry about a thing - Cyndy and the team had EVERYTHING covered, venue-wise: on-site parking? check! wedding sign out in front of the venue so drivers knew where to go? check! Golf carts managed? check! Fire pit maintained throughout the night? check! Watching for our shuttle, which wasn't even a responsibility we discussed? check! For someone who typically has every detail discussed and planned out, it was such a relief for me that they had absolutely everything under control with practically no input from me.
This is to say nothing of Cyndy as a person. Cyndy is delightful, incredibly helpful, and one of the most friendly, welcoming people we've ever met. She is also incredibly responsive, and any last-minute questions I might have had regarding the wedding day were answered promptly. I couldn't be happier about having her involved in our wedding.Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Dear Jen,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a wonderful review!
We are SO pleased that it all came together and after the long year of waiting you got to finally have the magical wedding you envisioned!
The whole Timberlake family and I were absolutely honored to host your joyful celebration here! So much fun to get to know you and your families as you made your plans! and thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm so glad I could help and be a part of your amazing wedding!
Please know we are all holding you in our hearts as you jump into married life. And please come back and visit us, you are part of the family now. With love, Cyndy -

Enchanting Wedding in the Woods
The most BEAUTIFUL wedding ceremony venue! Timberlake Earth Sanctuary is a beautiful experience both as the bride and groom and as a guest, the woodlands are so breathtaking and the venue of our dreams! This venue was perfect for our big day and Cyndy and Carolyn were such a pleasure to work with, great communication, and anything we needed or asked they were right on it with answers and tips! I recommend this venue to anyone looking for an enchanting woodland wedding and plenty of space for dancing, decor, and fun! The only suggestion is that if you're getting married in the hot summer months to be aware that the barn doesn't have the best AC unit and you want your bride to one perfectly cooled on her day!Timberlake Earth Sanctuary's reply:
Thank you Katie! It was so wonderful to have you and Nick here for your beautiful and original wedding. and thank you for sharing your gorgeous pictures. We wish you every happiness and hope you'll come back and visit us! Best wishes, Cyndy -

Timberlake is indeed an earth sanctuary, intentionally cared for and offered to guests by its human hosts to those seeking to create a meaningful and lasting experience in a very special environment. Hospitality abounds and is felt with every step you take on this land. From the Woodlands ceremonial space, to the beautifully appointed “Treehouse” nestled in the woods by the lake, to the moss covered trails with resting perches along the way for reflection, conversation, or quiet, the invitation for celebration and communion with family and friends or to make new acquaintances (with other humans, nature or yourself) is palpable. I was recently there for an envisioning and planning gathering held at the new and spectacularly lovely “Barn” and platform tent area of Timberlake “North.” The mindfulness to every detail, warmth (personal and a great fire pit!) and safety (covid distancing and protocols) made for a truly welcoming space for listening, thinking and sharing with others. This is a space I will return to often for celebrations, meetings, workshops and personal reflections, and one that I could not recommend more highly. -

Timberlake Farm is an extraordinary venue. There is nowhere else on earth where the Beauty of the natural world is a part of every moment you spend there. The hosts are gracious, lovely, and have thought of every detail to make your time there special and filled with beauty. There are meandering paths through the woods where you or your guests can take pause. There is enough space to be together safely and celebrate life and love. My experience there has been the best experience of my life and I highly recommend it.
