We were blown away by this wonderful facility. Mr. David was wonderful to my staff. This venue can be used for a complete wedding and reception. My bride selected it as her reception venue. The amenities were awesome: large parking, ease o...
f access for vendor delivery's is the best I have ever experienced. Easily accessible for our guest to find. On a paved hwy. Plenty of restrooms, bridal suite, a bar for adult beverages, another for family beverages. There is also an onsite apartment which made it so easy for us to work till we dropped and then went to bed and back to work again. So to say the least the Love's Flower Shop crew Love Loves this venue!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE—Unreliable and Unprofessional
If I could give this venue negative stars, I would. My sister booked The Stables back in September 2024, for her wedding on 12 April 2025, well in advance. Everything seemed fine until Ramon...
a, who runs the venue, double-booked the date and gave it away to another couple who booked AFTER us.
Ramona claimed she had tried to contact my sister about final payments, but she was never able to provide any proof (voicemail, email, or text) of these attempts. Meanwhile, my sister and her fiancé reached out multiple times, and whenever they spoke with her, she assured them everything was still good to go. Our entire family even toured the venue just before Christmas, and at no point did she mention an issue.
Then, just a month and a half before the wedding, she suddenly told us we had to move the date because the other couple had paid in full. It’s clear she gave priority to someone she knew, despite the fact that my sister had the date first. When confronted, she simply said it was “impossible” to move the other couple, even though she had no problem moving us. She offered no real apology, just a dismissive “sorry” that meant nothing.
What kind of professional runs a business like this? Weddings require months of planning (flights, hotels, vendors) and she didn’t care at all about the massive disruption she caused. To make things even shadier, when my sister originally booked, every April date was taken. Yet as soon as her date was stripped away, suddenly, more April dates became available.
Save yourself the stress and DO NOT book this venue. Ramona is unreliable, unprofessional, and clearly plays favorites. Thankfully, we found a much better venue, The Barn, which has been nothing but accommodating, professional, and easy to work with. If you want a wedding venue that actually honors its commitments, look elsewhere.
