in its design. The expansive open field provided a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony, and the main reception hall was spacious and versatile, accommodating various floorplans.
The venue is thoughtfully equipped, from the comfortable bridal suite to the groom’s suite, complete with video games and a lounge area. The kitchen had everything our caterers needed, and the patio was a gorgeous setting for cocktail hour.

Our wedding day was nothing but perfect and we have Sam and Wendy to thank!!

black accents. The wrap around porch and patio out back have to be one of my favorite parts of the venue. The weather was perfect on our wedding day, so we were able to have the garage doors open. We had a bar cart at our wedding that was parked right out back so our guests could flow in and out as they pleased. We got so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and perfect the venue was. Thank you again Wendy and Sam for helping make our wedding day the absolute best!!
