We got married in September this year and our wedding was so unbelievably perfect from the second we stepped on to the gorgeous grounds until we left as husband and wife. If you’re... looking for a beautiful, country wedding that literally has it ALL, look no further.
We loved that everything was on-site. Our rehearsal dinner was in the beautiful Rose Room, ceremony by the Kissing Bridge with the trees and lake in the background on a picture-perfect day, reception in the gorgeous Heritage Barn and then had our breakfast the next morning in the adorable café. And to top it all off, almost our entire wedding was able to stay in the cutest cabins/rooms which made it all so special and truly felt like a weekend getaway with all our favorite people. For anyone who didn’t want to stay on-site, Mount Airy Resort is a quick 5-minute drive and Ubers were readily available in the area so they had no problem coming and going.
I’ve been to a lot of weddings and let’s face it, the food at big catering halls is mediocre at best. That is certainly not the case at Memorytown. The food was outstanding! People are still talking about how good it was. If you’re just starting out looking for barn venues, I’m here to warn you that we looked at several before finding Memorytown and most do not include catering in their price (and the prices are outrageous!). Having to bring in catering, pick linens, flatware, plates, etc. are just more things to add to the never-ending list of to-dos. No thank you! Memorytown had everything and made it all SO simple. Amazing food and an already gorgeous venue, that even if you didn’t add a single piece of décor, would STILL be beautiful.
I've been a bridesmaid in several weddings and I have never seen a bigger, more beautiful setup than the Memorytown bridal suite. It was like a true salon set-up and my girls and glam squad were so happy to be in such a comfortable space. (This was a huge plus because we spent as much time, if not more, in the bridal suite getting ready as we did at the wedding!) And the Buck's Lounge where the guys got ready - SO cool. Very modern setup with a big TV, bar, couches, etc.
And last but certainly not least, I need to give a special shout-out to Lori - I swear, if she wasn't working the wedding, I would've invited her as a guest because she felt like Aunt Lori by the time we got to the wedding day. She was the absolute sweetest, down-to-earth person and was SO easy to work with. She always answered all the questions I had and worked with us to make sure everything was just the way we wanted. Through the whole process she was calm and fun and just the exact type of person I needed to work with during the stressful/exciting process of wedding planning. Lori - thank you to you and your amazing staff for being a huge part of making our special day so perfect! (I'm definitely not crying again ...)
I could go on and on but I'll end off with this - another thing that makes this place so special is that me and my husband can relive it all. There are not many wedding venues you can go back to unless you happen to get invited to another wedding there. But Memorytown - we will be back! Definitely for our anniversary, if not before then. We can't wait to spend a weekend away in a cute country cabin, indulge in the same amazing food, take a walk around the beautiful lake and reminisce about the day we got married surrounded by everyone we love at the most PERFECT wedding venue.
