We stumbled upon Back in the Pines while doing a deep search for the perfect venue - and that’s what we found! Ashley is wonderful at communicating and was on top of everything we ...
needed. They fit in our budget perfectly, and offering so many extras that were so helpful - such as linen rentals, set up of tables in the reception area, and flexibility due to weather! The venue is unique and gorgeous, and worth the drive out to Watts! I would do it all over again just because of Ashley and the crew at Back in the Pines!

Highly recommend this venue! The building is absolutely beautiful inside and out and fit perfectly with our fall country rustic theme. Ashley was a joy to work with from start to f...
inish. Loved her bubbly personality and she was always quick to respond to texts and was very accommodating with all of our needs.
This venue has 2 upstairs bedrooms, bathroom and living space that are super cute and cozy. Me and my bridesmaids were able to stay there the night before the wedding and my husband and I stayed there the night of the wedding, which was so convenient.
Also got so many compliments from guests about how beautiful the venue was.
