Our Wedding Day was absolutely perfect at the Lumber Yard Event Center! We got married in October and the weather was absolutely perfect! The venue matched our rustic, fall theme a...
nd the space was stunning. We had our ceremony and reception both here. They have an indoor space separate from the reception area where we had our cocktail hour for guests- that could also be used for an indoor ceremony. The venue landscaping was beautifully kept and they even had mum flowers out for the fall time which looked beautiful for our ceremony. My husband and his groomsmen enjoyed the groomsmen suite! It was a new addition to the venue and they thought it was spacious and accommodating. The Something Borrowed room also had many options to choose from that helped make our wedding very aesthetically pleasing. We had 150 people for our wedding and it was a perfect fit. We would recommend this venue to anyone. Pictures attached are from Paradigm Photography.

We had such a great experience with Lumberyard Event Center! From the start, what really stood out was how much history and character the venue has—it adds a unique charm you just ...
don’t find in more modern spaces. It created a warm, memorable atmosphere that made the entire event feel special.
The pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the space and everything that’s included. It felt like a great value without sacrificing any part of the experience, which can be hard to find when planning a wedding.
Overall, the combination of historic charm, fair pricing, and the overall experience makes Lumberyard Event Center an easy recommendation. If you’re looking for a venue with personality and value, this is definitely a place worth considering!
