Married 07.19.2025 - Shelly is amazing! She puts so much thought and care into maintaining and sharing her family's historic heritage through memories created at the barn. This mea...
nt the world to me, as I believe history and family are crucial aspects of life.
She was incredibly helpful in keeping both my husband and my mind at peace throughout the whole process. We are both very anxious people and don't love to be the center of attention, but she still made sure the day was about us without it being too much for either of us. Our wedding was honestly everything I dreamed it was going to be and more. I truly believe it wouldn't have been possible without the help of Shelly. She puts together such a respectful and helpful team that executes flawlessly.
The barn is absolutely beautiful inside and out, plus the flowers!!! I didn't get to see how the flowers looked until the week before, and I was in awe. All the garden gurus at the wedding were impressed!
Shelly has it all thought out! Thank you so much for helping create such a beautiful day!

We got married July 27, 2024. Shelly was absolutely amazing from the moment we first talked with her about looking at the venue until the day we got married. Every conversation w...
as personal and we felt that we were her main priority whenever we were in communication. She helped buffer with family drama, reassured us that everything would be smooth sailing (which it was), and provided us with back-up plans in case of bad weather. She was accommodating to health issues for family members and was great at keeping us on track with deadlines. Her staff was wonderful and professional, and I love that she works to train high school and college students to be experienced. We had no issues with our vendors working with her either. Everyone I talked with about the wedding still comments on how beautiful the venue was and how great Shelly was with facilitating the event. She has a wide variety of decorations that we were allowed to use at no extra cost, and she had a lot of great ideas to enhance making our head table look beautiful. The hen house was a great space for the bride and friends to hang out before the ceremony, and the horse stable was set up perfectly for the groomsmen. Everything was definitely beyond our expectations. Thank you, Shelly, for making our special day memorable!
