We got married yesterday and had the most beautiful, special, chaotic day ever! Danny and his team were amazing, anytime we needed something they were fast to step in and help. I would recommend them 1000 times over. Thank you for such an amazing experience!
J&D Farms is absolutely perfect. Danny and his team are incredible to work with, and truly helped make our day everything we could’ve ever dreamed of. Whatever we needed, they were there. The venue was beautifully kept and managed, and the staff aiding on the wedding day were so kind and so helpful. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. If you’re looking for a great venue, and fantastic people to work with, this is the place you should go.
J and D Farms was the best possible place that my husband and I could have dreamed of having our wedding. It was extremely reasonably priced, the owner was personable and checked on us often leading up to the big day, and referred us to all of the best vendors. I loved that we had full access to the property all day Friday and Saturday, and weren’t rushed out on Sunday morning. The staff was so helpful and accommodating and made me feel like a Princess in every way. My husband loved every minute of the experience (and he’s very particular). I would highly recommend J and D to anyone looking for their perfect wedding experience. It was private, intimate, and we felt right at home.
Any questions?
When we chose J&D, we knew it all would be a stunning day. But nothing can prepare you for the day. Danny and his crew went above and beyond for me and Bradley. I’m sure there were mishaps in the day, but everything was handled beautifully.
I would often find myself on the balcony of the carriage house just watching the crew and vendors make things happen.
Our stay there was nothing short of incredible. I would recommend J&D Farms over and over and over again for another bride to have the same experience I had.
Danny, I know your sweet wife is smiling down on you and is so proud. Thank you, again for being a huge part in making our day perfect.
Danny and everyone at J&D were incredible! We had our rehearsal and our wedding at J&D and Danny and Roni were our photographers!! They took two beautiful rounds of engagement pictures for us (we ran out of light at the first shoot so he let us come back and do a whole session in our remaining outfits!). Honestly that was so kind of them because I don’t know a lot of photographers that would do that for someone! Danny gave us excellent recommendations for other vendors and allowed us to visit the farm to check things out multiple times! We were even able to pop in on a wedding there (with permission from the bride and groom of course) to see how everything ran. If you choose J&D I definitely recommend having Danny do your photography and also definitely stay in the carriage house — it is beautiful! The whole venue is like something out of a fairytale. You feel like you’re in a whole different world! I could go on and on about how accommodating they were! If I had to do our wedding over again, I would choose J&D 60 times over. Super professional, talented, and kind!
I wish I had a more poetic way of saying this but there are no other words to describe my wedding experience with this place other than AWESOME. Danny and his team are quite literally the most wonderful and accommodating people on earth. All details were taken into consideration, I never once felt rushed or heckled with due dates, and they had the perfect recommendations for other vendors in the area. All of my guests LOVED the property and some even told me they wanted to inquire about having their wedding at the farm! It was seriously such a personal experience. The staff became friends to me by the end of the night. I wish I could turn back time because I would relive our wedding every single day and never change a thing. Love this place and love these people. If you're a bride looking for the perfect venue, look no further.
There are no words to describe how PERFECT this venue is. This place is absolutely beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and nice. They helped in any way they could. If you can book them for your wedding or any event in general DO IT. You will not regret it!
It is hard to put into words how perfect J&D Farms really is. There is not one thing I would change about our wedding day at this venue. The owners go over and beyond to ensure you are taken care of--from the time you book to the time you depart! If you are considering a farm as a venue, but don't want a "country" vibe, but rather a rustic elegance vibe, this is your venue. It's genuinely a dream of an experience and place to start your forever.
Danny from J & D Farms was the absolute best. He has an incredible venue and staff. They are always willing to answer questions, no matter how many questions you have. They were so kind and professional. Danny went above and beyond to make sure the wedding day went smoothly. We had no stress at all the day of the wedding because we were so well taken care of!
Danny at J&D Farms helped my daughter have the perfect wedding day! He went above and beyond to make the day everything we dreamed it could be. The setting is beautiful and Danny is always ready to answer any question or just to settle those prewedding nerves. I gladly recommend this venue.
I would highly recommend J&D Farms for a wedding. Our daughter was recently married there and everything was PERFECT!! I can’t say enough about sweet McKenzie who was our point of contact. McKenzie was so calm the entire time and patiently put up with this crazed and stressed-out mother of the bride! She is definitely a go-getter and a calming influence on everyone. Nothing phased her. She has seen it all and has a solution for every problem. She was accessible all the time for me to ask questions. We were from out of town and we made several impromptu visits and she was very flexible and worked with us each time. We changed things a few times and it was no problem. We had every little detail planned and then there was rain in the forecast. Not a problem. She had a back-up plan. When it looked like the rain would hold off she had the tables moved out in the grassy area in minutes. When it did start raining a few hours after the wedding we all just went into the barn and she made sure to get everything inside and out of the rain. Anytime I needed anything she was right there. She had people helping her and they were awesome as well. I don’t think she sleeps because she was there the entire time from early Friday morning until we left Sunday at lunch.
The venue itself is amazing! It’s so beautiful and is laid out very well. There are so many options for brides. One of the selling points for us was the indoor Stables which had air conditioning. We didn’t think we’d need it but leave it to Alabama to have record breaking heat the week of the wedding in October. So the ceremony was held there and the reception at the barn. Another selling point is that we had access to the venue from 8:00 am Friday morning until Sunday at 11:00 am. We were able to unload and set up everything on Friday so we didn’t have to worry about it on Saturday. The decorator also was able to get a lot of his set-up done on Friday and then added flowers and finishing touches on Saturday. The Carriage House is an added bonus. It’s so gorgeous inside. And they are dog-friendly so our daughters two dogs were able to stay with her Friday night and with the bride and groom after the wedding. They loved being out on the front deck and looking out at everyone on the day of the wedding. And the on-site goats are adorable!!! Yes they have 3 pet goats. We loved them.
All of the twinkle lights and candles made the place magical at night. It was stunning. Everything didn’t go as planned (hello heat and rain!) but it still turned out perfectly. An excellent venue.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! McKenzie is amazing and we are so fortunate to have her as par of the J&D farms family.
Danny is so incredible! You couldn't ask for someone more understanding, kind, and helpful (don't forget talented)! We just had our tour and I would completely recommend this place for nice southern feel.
Our wedding would not have been the same without J & D Farms and their kind staff. I was given phone numbers and told I could text with questions at any time or stop by any time I needed to for planning visits. They were patient and kind and made it to where my day was anything but stressful. My husband and I will always remember this special day, and we are so thankful to have exchanged our vows under the beautiful orchard at J & D.
Everything was wonderful!
We took a tour here about a year ago and the owner was AMAZING! We started talking about our struggles to find a venue who would take us (we are a same sex couple) and he was so understanding and accepting. I actually started crying while talking with him. Their website is the best one I've seen, so much information is on the site you know pretty much everything before even going to J&D. The pictures also do not do them justice (even though they are wonderful as well). If you think the pictures are stunning wait until you see this place in person!! Him and his wife are both photographers and as we were touring he was telling us ways they try to make everything picture perfect. Small details other venues wouldn't think of like the perfect spot for cars so they won't be seen in pictures to hiding an ice cooler so them or the guest wouldn't snap pictures of it and mess up the photo. Every little detail they are have you covered. I am not having my wedding here due to the fact my fiancee's family lives over an hour away and theres so many of them it does not make sense to have so many people drive that far so we are having it closer to them. If this wasn't the case I would have my wedding at J&D farms with no questions asked! Even though I am not having my wedding here I'd recommend them to anyone! I know they will take such great care of you on your special day!!
I just got married at J&D farms on September 30th and I can't brag enough about this place. First of all, the venue is absolutely breath taking and so romantic. The owner, Danny, is with you every step of the way. He is always available to answer questions and he is the nicest person you'll ever meet! He also did our photography and we are SO happy with the results. We are from Birmingham so we asked Danny to suggest vendors in the area and every single vendor he suggested did a wonderful job! Everyone is so easy to work with and so nice! We had the most beautiful and fun wedding day and we are SO happy we chose J&D farms!
J&D Farms is an incredible venue (all our guests could not stop talking about it all night!), but it's so much more than just that. Danny was a huge help throughout every step of the way -- from recommending other local vendors and sharing tips from what worked well (and what didn't!) to his BEAUTIFUL photography and attention to detail, making sure everything ran smoothly the whole weekend. We could not have picked a more perfect place for our big day, and would absolutely recommend J&D Farms to anyone looking for a venue. There truly aren't words to express our level of gratitude for all the staff at J&D who helped make our day so incredibly perfect.
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2017
Thank you so much Madison! You guys were wonderful to work with as well. :-)
I cannot say enough great things about J&D. The entire staff is incredibly professional and go above and beyond to make everything you ask of them happen.
After visiting several wedding venues in Georgia, we decided to take our search to Alabama in hopes of finding our dream location. The moment we arrived at J & D Farms, we knew we would host the most special day of our lives there. The scenery was absolutely breath taking, the landscape was nicely kept, and every detail had been thought through in order to tie the entire property together into one beautiful venue. Our guests were so impressed! We predominantly worked with Danny, who was always so kind, helpful, and quick to respond to our questions and meet our requests. We could not have asked for more. Our wedding was truly a dream come true and we are so grateful to J & D Farms for making it possible!
J&D farms was the absolute best! This venue couldn't have been a better place to hold our rehearsal, wedding and reception. We fell in love with this place and had a "destination" wedding just so we could get married here! The moment you step foot on the grounds you are instantly taken back by how gorgeous the entire place is! It truly feels magical. It is not only gorgeous, but it has SO much character which makes it unique from other "barn" venues. We can't tell you how many compliments We received about this venue!
Danny, Patrick and Jana are AMAZING to work with! They were always available to answer any questions and made the entire process so enjoyable and easy! They have to be some of the most genuine people we have ever met!
We can't say enough great things about J&D farms, everything about this place is perfect!!
We absolutely fell in love with the venue from the beginning because it's almost impossible not to, but the initial interaction we had with the owners confirmed that this would be the place for our wedding. Danny and Jana were quick to respond to our website inquiry and schedule a thorough tour of the grounds. Every question we asked was answered and every request was fulfilled almost immediately from the time of the tour all the way up until our wedding day. Although J&D Farms has several wedding packages to choose from, we were able to create a customized plan for our rehearsal and wedding to remove items we did not need and to include extras as well. We included a two night stay at the carriage house and aside from being a beautiful place to get ready and take pictures, it proved to be very convenient to stay on the property with access to any thing we could possibly need to prepare for our big day! Having access to the grounds the entire day before the wedding, the day of and the morning after allowed us to set up and break down with ease. There are truly no adequate words to express the hospitality we received not only from the owners but from every single employee we encountered during our time at the farm and we will be forever grateful to this amazing venue for helping make our wedding day one we will never forget!
We bought the largest package from J&D and couldn't have been happier. Since they know the best places on the farm to take pictures, we chose to let them do our photography as well and were very pleased. They are truly 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet and are right beside you every step of the way. We had more people than expected to show up and Danny quickly found more seats for them and did a great job keeping me calm. You have no idea how beautiful the farm is until you see it in person. Slightly modern features with rustic decor was ideal for our personalities and everybody talked about how nice the venue was. Besides the hot summer sun, our day was perfect. With many weddings under their belt, they have very good advice and I'm glad I listened! Take it from a perfectionist, J&D is definitely worth a look. We have absolutely zero complaints and highly recommend them. Worth every darn penny!
They are wonderful photographers and if you use their venue then you should definitely use them for your wedding pictures as well.
J&D Farms was such an amazing & beautiful place to get married! I would recommend it to every bride currently looking for a venue. Danny went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had the best day imaginable. He was always courteous and flexible during the planning process, often allowing us to come to the venue to look around (sometimes for several hours). He even allowed us to attend the wedding of another bride, just so that we could see how everything gets set up. The level of personal service can’t be beat!
We held our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on the grounds. There were several people from the venue on hand that night to make sure everything moved smoothly. Danny himself stayed and helped us work out an issue with one of the suppliers (the heater wasn’t working properly and he fought on our behalf).
Their selection of decorative items was extensive and incredible! On top of everything they allowed us to use from their own supply, Danny allowed us to use almost anything else we brought in. He cared much more about making sure we enjoyed our night, than a big list of rules or regulations.
It was a fantastic place to get married and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience.
I had my wedding at J&D Farms on 10/11/14 and it was amazing. I was living in Oklahoma but my fiance was in Alabama, I knew nothing about Alabama or where to start, but Danny and Jana were so helpful with helping me find vendors for food, cakes etc. Any time I needed to text or call them with questions they made the time for me. The venue is absolutely beautiful. We had the ceremony in the orchard and the reception in the barn. Everyone had such a great time and couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was. If you want a dream come true wedding have it here! Seriously!
I had the best experience working with Danny and Jana and everyone at J&D Farms. They make your day as stress free as possible and the venue is absolutely beautiful. We had bad weather during our reception, and Jana and Danny both were willing to extend our hours at the venue to make up for the time we lost due to the storms. I felt so taken care of, and they both were available if we needed anything at all. We also used their photography services. I am absolutely in love with my images and now I can relive the best day of my life again and again thanks to the two of them! I highly recommend the venue and the photography services. BEST decision we made.
My experience with J &D Farms was everything I expected and more! The owners and staff go out of their way to make your day one to remember. The property is absolutely beautiful and includes everything that you need for a ceremony and reception setting. I was overwhelmed by the amount of care that the owners put into planning for our special day!
In addition to these fabulous features, the photography was the best that I've ever experienced! Adding the photography on to our package was the best decision that we made! They are professional in every way and captured all of the right moments with beautiful shots. I highly recommend this venue for any bride and groom looking for their dream wedding!!
Jana and Danny were absolutely amazing to work with!! We could not have asked for a better venue or photographer! They were always available to talk when we needed them, and made us feel at home at the farm!!
I absolutely was thrilled with this venue. It is beyond beautiful and Danny and his wife are amazing to work with and are so professional. I would recommend this place to everyone! I was married here on May 24, 2014 and I loved it!
Jana and Danny have created a venue that is magical. There are so many options. I had a orchard wedding and a barn reception. The barn is so beautiful that there is little to nothing that has to be done to have it wedding day ready. Not only was the venue perfect, I used Danny and Jana as my photographer. To say my pictures were wonderful is an understatement. They made my wedding day perfect! I will recommend J and D Farms to everyone! The kindest people we met during the wedding planning experience. They are truly a blessing and a joy to work with. My guest are still talking about how beautiful J and D Farms is!
If you're going for shabby chic, elegant, natural or anything in between, the setting can be arranged at J&D Farms. The land is simply gorgeous with ceremony and reception options of an apple orchard with antique church pews or poolside or a rustic yet fabulously clean barn with amazing architecture. The atmosphere is that of relaxation and class. I could not have been more relaxed on a day that tends to stress out brides. The owners of the farm and, how convenient, also amazing and creative photographers, are both the sweetest people and very professional all at the same time. They let you choose your own caterer, band, photographer or anything else that other locations might lock you into. We chose them as the photographers (J&D Photography) and are 100% pleased with their work. You will not lack any scenery or backdrops for photos since the land has so much to offer. There is a finely crafted carriage house where the bride and her party gets ready. I would recommend this location a million times over to any engaged couple looking for a wedding venue. My husband and I are elated to have gotten married there.
J&D Farms was the perfect place for our special day! The staff was outstanding! The venue was perfect and everything was well maintained and ready for our day! This is the perfect place for someone wanting an outdoor or barn wedding! Jana and Danny are excellent Photographers and work so well with the Bride and Groom and those that are involved! I can promise you wont be disappointed with this choice for a wedding venue!
This is the most beautiful outdoor venue I've seen! If you're looking for a rustic wedding you found the place. The owners are amazing and work with you through the whole process. I would highly recommend J&D!
The barn is beautiful but it is very small, has no air conditioner, and it next to the people's home. It also only has one restroom right at the door of the barn. It would be great for an outside wedding in front of the barn!
There are not enough words to describe our experience at J & D Farms. Danny & Jana are so friendly and personable. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we hoped it to be. They were very accommodating and always anxious to help when needed. The farm itself is a complete dream. My husband and I were going for southern elegance, and the farm completed our fairytale wedding. If you are looking for the perfect southern wedding J & D Farms is the venue for you!
I literally would not be able to say enough good things about J&D and its owner, Danny. Danny went above and beyond for us in every way that he could to make our day perfect. I really felt like I was dealing more with a friend trying to help plan my wedding than just another vendor. The farm, the barn, the orchard are all beautiful, but what truly sets J&D apart is their service. Incredibly lovely venue with even lovelier people running things :)
