e. I had both my ceremony and reception outside and the inside designated for dancing and everything went just as expected if not better. I also hired the owner to help coordinate. Dianna was one of 2 people who kept me sane the entire time of wedding planning and was very helpful each step of the way. Even at random hours of the night, she never made me feel like an imposition or burden. She answered every question and concern with professionalism and to full capability. Due to unforeseen circumstances she was unable to complete the wedding coordination the day of however her daughter in law came in and did her thing!!! Especially the day of, mind you I am a very stressful person but Mackenzie was very kind and patient as well as Dianna from behind the scenes. 20+ stars for them both and have recommended to 2 different co workers getting married next year.💖

the end of our reception, we experienced nothing but professionalism and enthusiasm from Melissa and Diana in ensuring we had everything we needed and our wedding day ran smoothly.

very guest raved about how it was the best venue and wedding they had been to. It was also very affordable.
I will add that while there is a ton of beautiful outdoor space and foliage, it is only a couple of blocks from downtown Shelbyville, making it very convenient. There are great AirBNBs and restaurants close by, as well as a hotel less than a 5 min drive.
Everything was truly perfect!
