Green Acres Event Center

We truly loved our wedding at Green Acres Event Center! The location is beautiful and the building leans well into its historic past while also feeling modern. The upstairs hall has a rich wood tone with gorgeous chandeliers and cozy alcoves. The acoustics were also great for dancing and speeches. However, we unfortunately did not have a seamless experience with venue management. We had three different venue managers over the time period when we booked the venue to the actual wedding date, which added undue stress. On our wedding day, it was disconcerting to find that the upstairs room setup details (harvest table, picture table, dessert table, etc.) we went over with the venue coordinator beforehand were not completed when we arrived. Also, the arbor and ceremony area were not set up when the wedding party arrived at 1:00 PM. The area also had significant bare patches with no grass despite our being told this would be addressed when we booked the year before. The coordinator seemed unaware that a rain shower came through shortly before guests started arriving, so we had to ask that chairs outside be dried before guests were seated. When a heavy, surprise rain shower interrupted our ceremony and everyone was rushed inside, staff seemed panicked and most decisions on how to best move forward were made instead between the bride, groom and our privately-hired day-of-coordinator. Overall, we were a little frustrated to have to ask the daytime coordinator to do things that had been previously agreed upon. We had a better experience with the evening coordinator who was fantastic and kindly helped the bride redo her makeup after the rain. Side note: the detached bridal building is super lovely but we found it inconvenient that the bride had to walk to and from to use the restroom inside the barn prior to the ceremony. Since we did not have a first look, it required communication to keep the groom from seeing the bride during her restroom runs. Additionally, the groom space was awesome but there were not enough hooks to hang clothing or clutter-free spots to keep belongings like backpacks, etc. All in all, we would definitely recommend the venue but improvements could be made to honoring the significant time the wedding party invested in plans that were ultimately not fulfilled day-of without prompting.

The team at Green Acres Event Center is amazing! We had the best time with our family and friends and they all said this venue was beautiful. I would recommend this venue to all couples.
