Vanderwende Acres Reviews

Thanks to Vanderwende Acres and their wonderful staff, we were able to achieve our dream wedding. Vanderwende was such a beautiful venue inside and out, it didn’t require many decorations on our part. Although they hold many weddings at their venue, Vanderwende makes you feel like you’re the one and only couple to be married there.

I recently hosted a baby shower for my daughter at Vanderwende Acres. Every single part was beyond perfect. The venue is breathtakingly gorgeous. Everyone I spoke with was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Hannah took the guess work out of anything that could possible be questioned. Communication was very timely from start to finish. We will be back!

Hannah and her team at Vanderwende Acres were wonderful, and absolutely everything my husband and I could have asked for in a vendor for our wedding!

I actually fell in love with Vanderwende Acres years before we got married. Brian and I got engaged in 2020 right before the pandemic and VA was the first venue we visited as a contender for our wedding location. I fell in love with the property immediately, and the staff were so personable and knowledgable. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding for 3 years due to the pandemic and personal reasons. During that time, we mulled through several other options for our wedding, including going out of state and eloping, but I told Brian I wanted a second look at VA before we made a decision and I knew that very moment we came back that we were going to get married there!

The venue has absolutely everything you need, all in one location - beautiful and spacious groom and bridal suites, plenty of parking space, clean indoor bathrooms, a gorgeous ceremony space, reception pavilion with a good back-up plan for inclement weather, all your chairs, tables, and the venue is so beautiful itself you don't need a lot of decor to make it look amazing!

Hannah was very responsive through the whole wedding planning process, responded to my dozens of emails quickly and kindly, and was extremely knowledgable about the venue and preferred vendors. Not only that, but she was there to help with anything and everything we needed on wedding day, including placing decor, helping with timelines, and grabbing snacks or a drink for us if we needed it!

We would recommend Vanderwende Acres to absolutely anyone!

I found this venue shortly after getting engaged and immediately knew it was the one. It’s stunning. My husband and I got married on October 28th at Vanderwende Acres and we are over the moon by how perfect it was. Working with Sarah was such a joy and the whole process was stress free. The whole venue is carefully thought out- and the bonus it’s that is so beautiful you don’t need much to decorate! Thank you Sarah for such a magical day!

5 stars isn't enough! Vanderwende was absolutely amazing for our wedding day. The whole day ran smoothly thanks to Sarah and her team. Couldn't ask for anything more!

I got married at Vanderwende Acres on April 29th, 2023 and it couldn’t have been a more amazing experience. The day went absolutely perfect and every single vendor we hired did a fantastic job. The weather turned out to be amazing and so many of our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was. We had about 100 guests and there was ample space for everyone. There were many great locations for photos, both indoors and outdoors. Sarah, the venue director, was very communicative during the whole planning process and was a gem to work with. She answered all our questions and helped ensure everything went as planned. Our guests could not stop complimenting everything about our wedding and they all seemed to have a blast. I definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking.

Amazing venue, amazing team! Sarah and Caitlin were awesome day 1! Super friendly, responsive and patient as we went through our the planning! Truly they are first class!! Wedding came out perfect!

To say we had our dream wedding would be an understatement. Sarah is an absolute pleasure to work with. She made us feel comfortable and truly made our vision come to life. Every single person has said it was the best wedding/venue they’ve ever been to. Thank you to the entire Vanderwende Acres team for making this the wedding of our dreams.

Sarah and her team made my wedding planning painless. Her responsiveness and willingness to answer all questions at any given time makes the process even easier. The price is very reasonable for the stunning views and beauty of the venue. Would recommend to anyone!

We have been working with Vanderwendes to plan our big day since early 2020. The entire team was extremely kind, helpful and understanding. The property is absolutely stunning & I cannot have imagined celebrating our love and family anywhere else!

VA is not only a one-of-a-kind location, its staff is also truly unique. Sara and her coordinator staff worked tirelessly to ensure my day was perfect. From setting up the wedding of my dreams to assisting me all day along the way, they were there for me every moment. Sarah helped me plan all through COVID and helped me make decisions along the way. She made me feel valued and important.

I LOVED my experience at VA.

It was overall a good experience. There were times I felt communication could have been better. Is a beautiful venue n wedding was amazing Did feel some disconnect with staff. Wasn't totally sure who was supposed to do what.
