Had the honor of being my sister and brother-in-laws officiant here and it was a very nice venue. Even though the weather didn’t quite cooperate, the interior was plenty spacious enough to accommodate for the ceremony and reception. Certainly worth looking into for your next event.

We had a wonderful evening at Rotherwood! Holly and Aaron were just wonderful. They were available to answer all our questions and communicated to us their needs to help us have a successful wedding day. The venue is very spacious and beautiful and all of our guest seemed delighted with how nice it was. We were accompanied with a large refrigerator and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked with the necessities. Also; they were very helpful with our handicap family members. I was very happy with the overall experience!! Thank you, Holly and Aaron!!❤️

My Husband & I hosted our wedding here in early October 2026. We had the most wonderful wedding thanks to Holly & her team/family. she was organized, thorough, and on top of everything. We had a fairly simple wedding, but she made sure everything was exactly what we wanted. The bridal space to get ready in was very large and perfectly decorated for photos. The space easily held my large bridal party comfortably. We exchanged private vows in the courtyard area, and it was perfectly private and the landscaping was wonderful. Scheduling and planning the day was also a breeze. We had left chargers & other various items after the wedding, and they had gathered everything for us to pick up the next day - which is more than some places would do. I will 100000% be recommending this event space to anyone looking for a beautiful venue.

The venue itself is beautiful and provided a nice setting for the wedding. Unfortunately, our experience with the owners left a lot to be desired.
Throughout the weekend, the owners were extremely picky about small details and came across as rude and unwelcoming. It also felt like nearly everything came with an additional charge, which made the overall experience feel much more expensive and stressful than it needed to be.
What was especially disappointing was how much unnecessary stress was placed on the bride during what should have been one of the happiest weekends of her life. The constant concerns, restrictions, and additional charges caused her so much anxiety that she became physically sick during the weekend.
A wedding is already stressful enough without feeling like you have to constantly worry about being reprimanded or charged extra for every little thing. The venue itself is nice, but based on our experience, we would not recommend it. The owners’ attitude and the way they handled the weekend took away from what should have been a memorable and enjoyable celebration.

Hi Noah,
Thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback seriously. We have no client record, transaction, contract, or past communication with you, as you were not the contracting client for this event.
While you may have attended an event at Rotherwood, the concerns regarding pricing, charges, contractual terms, and communications described in your review reflect a third-party perspective rather than your own experience as our contracting client.
We are sorry to learn that our efforts to follow contracted access times and apply established policies were perceived as rude, picky, or a reprimand. That is never how we want our policies to be experienced. These policies are intended to provide clear expectations and consistent treatment for all of our clients.
We are always willing to address concerns or misunderstandings. If you would like to contact us directly regarding something you personally experienced while attending Rotherwood, we would be glad to discuss it with you.
For prospective couples reading this review, we believe strongly in transparency. Many optional enhancements and additional-access prices are published on our website, and applicable pricing and terms are provided to our clients well in advance of their events.
When additional venue access beyond the contracted time is requested, additional charges may apply to cover staffing and operational costs. We apply these terms consistently so that every couple is treated fairly while also allowing clients to choose the level of access and services that best fits their celebration.
We also encourage our clients to bring questions or concerns to us before and during their event so that we have an opportunity to address them promptly, make adjustments when appropriate, and help prevent unforeseen surprises.
We remain committed to transparent pricing, clear communication, and providing every couple with the venue access and services they have selected for their celebration.

Rotherwood is owned by a sweet couple who work very hard. The property is gorgeous. When first driving up it is just stunning. There are many places to take beautiful photos to be treasured. The gardening is something that I especially liked. Along with the backdrop of the rolling hills.
The actual space for the venue, the barn, is elegant and rustic. It is spacious with large chandeliers. The details within the barn are amazing. Even the bathrooms are charming.
Holly and Aaron are great with their communication and willingness to help. Even though they are just a venue and don't do wedding planning they give great suggestions and they are collaborative with others that are hired.
