My wife and I got married here. It was EPIC. There is a stage and dance floor, beautiful scenery and the accommodations are 2nd to none. I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married.

This is just a gorgeous place for a wedding. I'm a minister--weddings are my thing. This little hidden gem is just beautiful. The garden setting with gazebo for the ceremony. A few little bridges. Barn, reception area with dance floor and romantic lighting. A couple downsides: Porta potties don't really cut it at…

The grounds are always lovely. Parking is awkward, as space is limited and not marked.

We facilitated ceremony and reception sound, this venue blew me away and I only heard great things about the owners. I cannot wait to return!

This place has beautiful grounds that are well maintained. The stream that runs through the property and the other water features are very nice. There is plenty of space for large parties and on site cooking facilities. The parking lot is a grassy field so people with mobility issues will need to to be prepared for that. The ground is level though.

This is just a gorgeous place for a wedding. I'm a minister--weddings are my thing. This little hidden gem is just beautiful. The garden setting with gazebo for the ceremony. A few little bridges. Barn, reception area with dance floor and romantic lighting. A couple downsides: Porta potties don't really cut it at an event like a wedding. Seems like they could spring for some really decent rest rooms. The highway noise is discernible. I didn't notice it, but my wife certainly did. I think, if you approach the wedding as a comfortable, picnic-like community event, it really works.
