Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Family-run and eco-friendly, this pretty countryside venue boasts mature landscaping, a sparkling pond, newly-renovated event facilities, and so many beautiful spots for photos.
- Exchange vows in a waterside pavilion that frames the pond’s waterfall, then follow with a reception in the cheery white-sided barn. Or, opt for an all-al fresco affair—there’s plenty of room on the spacious lawns, and tents are welcome.
- There’s a sweet cottage for the wedding party, swings for the kiddos, and a cozy fire pit. You’re also welcome to make use of their wide collection of décor and props.
