Molly and her mom did an amazing job turning Bortner Valley into the perfect wedding venue! They made every thoughtful decision to make you feel special on your big day. Molly is incredibly responsive and professional. Couldn’t recommend a better venue!
If you are looking for the perfect venue, your hunt is over! Bortner Valley was nothing but the best! Bortner Valley/ Molly was everything a couple could have asked for. Molly was helpful, professional, quick responding, and just a genuine person! The entire venue from the getting ready areas, all the ceremony areas, and the barn were GORGEOUS! I will always recommend Bortner Valley!
The team at Bortner Valley went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Throughout the planning process they were so helpful and quick to respond to my questions. The grounds at the venue are out of a movie, everywhere you look gives you the most beautiful backdrop for photos. The barn is spacious and has the perfect modern/rustic feel. The getting ready areas for both the guys and girls were aLeo amazing.
Any questions?
Bortner Valley is such an amazing venue! From the bridal suite, to the groomsmen area, to the ceremony area, to the reception! Our day was beautiful. This venue made our wedding dreams come true! Molly and Tracey are great to work with and are so helpful with any questions. If you’re looking for a wedding venue, I could not recommend Bortner Valley more!! We received so many compliments from our guests as well on how much they enjoyed the venue. There are so many amazing views/backdrops for the most magical wedding photos. Our day was stunning and ran so smoothly!!
We booked with Molly and Tracy at Bortner Valley in the fall of 2023 for our fall 2024 wedding. Molly and Tracy are the most caring people you will ever meet. They answered a million of our questions during our tour and gave us a folder with so much helpful information, including preferred vendors that are literally amazing people too. You will not regret working with Molly and Tracy.
The venue is stunning. There is a beautiful pond, gorgeous house, and the most perfect pavillion/barn for the reception. My husband and I were trying to find a local-to-us venue with an outdoor spot for a ceremony and reception, and Bortner Valley was truly perfect. The sides of the pavillion open and give an amazing evening atmosphere. It was exactly what we were looking for and then some!
Inside the house, there is so much space to get ready, a perfect hair and makeup room, access to a kitchen, and gorgeous spaces for photography. We had four bridesmaids, four groomsmen, both sets of parents, flower girls, and a little extra family with us for the day, and we had so much room.
If you are looking to get married, check out Bortner Valley. I promise you won't be disappointed. Beautiful venue, and the most kind venue-owners you will meet. I would highly recommend to anyone.
This venue is AMAZING!! Molly was SO communicative, accessible, and accommodating. She helped make our wedding day so wonderful & kept it running so smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! Highly recommend Bortner Valley!
Molly was extremely helpful and the venue was exactly as I pictured! She gave me a recommended vendor list and it took so much stress off of us. I envisioned minimal decor since the venue was both rustic and elegant and it worked out perfectly. The barn speaks for itself! The groom and bridal suite were set up with everything that we needed for the day and we spent the entire day there getting ready. One thing that stuck out to me was their attention to details. The venue even drove my 90 year old grandma from the ceremony set up location at the pond to the barn for the reception. I would 100% recommend this venue for any event, but especially weddings.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bortner Valley venue which is a gorgeous setting complete with a pond, a brand new 3 sided barn, several decor items to use including whiskey barrels, arches, tables, chairs as well as smaller items like vases, etc . The stone house is beautiful and has such a nice 2 level area where the bride and her girls get ready as well as a cool grooms area. Molly is so wonderful! She is very communicative and answers any and all questions quickly. She has a list of recommendations of vendors which we were very happy with. She and her team were seamless moving things from ceremony to reception area. Our day was perfect! We recommend them very highly!!
PERFECTION!! Molly was very communicative, accessible, and accommodating. She helped make our wedding day perfect and stress free. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything ran. 11/10 would recommend!!!
This venue is GORGEOUS!! We just got married here on May 25, 2024 and we honestly could not have chosen a better venue. Not only was it extremely helpful you can have all your own vendors, but they also allow up to 300 people (we had 200), and they were available for the date needed when we had to change venues (initially was a backyard wedding). Molly was extremely helpful during the wedding planning process when I had any questions or if I forgot anything. For just starting out as a venue coordinator, she did great! The fact we could get ready at the venue was so helpful as well. This family owned business is one to support especially since they are all so sweet. I highly recommend to any future brides!!😊🩷
My daughter had her wedding at Bortner Valley and it was amazing!
The views overlooking the pond were amazing. The bridal suite was a perfect set up with 8 girls getting ready, with plenty of room and mirrors for everyone. The new pavilion (Kathleen’s Overlook) was out of this world! The meticulous detail and craftsmanship that went into this building was on point. It was absolutely beautiful, we received so many compliments at the wedding how gorgeous this property is.
The owners were amazing and answered every question in detail and walked us through every detail the days leading up to the wedding day.
The experience was a 10/10. You will NOT be disappointed with this venue.
Bortner Valley is a beautiful venue! We got married 09.09.2023 and the owners were so easy to work with! They were helpful along the full planning process! We had unplanned rain our wedding day and despite that, everything ran so smoothly with the help of the owners. Between the house, the reception building and the views, BOOK this venue. The building also easily accommodated 200+ people which can be hard to find.
Owners are super easy to deal with and very accommodating. Venue is absolutely gorgeous inside and out.
