My bridal party and I spent the morning getting ready in the Cottage, which is such a great space to relax and prep for the day. There is a ton of natural lighting for hair/makeup prep and for some amazing pictures. Our ceremony was held outside in front of the old barn, which was decorated beatifically by Becky Hicks. The fall foliage surrounding the area helped to create a lovely backdrop for the day.
Cocktail hour was in the stunning Loft with the reception following in the Pavilion. The evening got a little chilly after the sun went down, but our guests kept warm around the outdoor heaters provided by the venue. Sharon and her staff are phenomenal!
They pay attention to every single detail no matter how big or small. They were there to help with whatever we needed throughout the day. I could not have asked for a more perfect day or a more wonderful venue for my wedding/reception. Thank you!

My fiance and I had trouble with our original venue, and we had to switch to the Loft. Honestly, we’re so glad we did, and our day was better for it. First off, the property is gorgeous. You’ll see that immediately if you take a tour.
One thing we really loved is that there are so many options, and you get so much for your money. Beforehand, the ladies were able to get ready in the (ADORABLE) cottage, and the guys were able to hang out in the hoop barn, which also doubles as an event barn. We had our ceremony in front of the old barn, but we loved being able to have the hoop barn as an indoor option in case of rain.
The wedding party and family were able to relax and have a celebratory drink in the cottage after the ceremony, too, and the grounds provided room for everyone to play lawn games and roast marshmallows. But all that aside, Sharon and Ashley are great people to work with. We were from out of town, and they were quick to provide tours, information and tips.
They do everything in their power to make sure the property is ready for your day, and they are incredibly upstanding and professional. Once we booked with them, I knew we weren’t going to have any more venue drama. We got so many compliments on the venue, and it really was amazing.
