I had a beautiful wedding here, but there are pros and cons. I had my wedding here this summer. The venue is beautiful on its own without any special decorations. That was a huge p...lus because it helped save on florals. The big tree is gorgeous which make photos stand out, and they keep up with the yard work beautifully. The general area around the venue is just really serene and peaceful. I’m not from the South, so I was looking for something that was a mix of white barn/modern. This happened to be the perfect mix. The venue owner is really nice and helpful to which was a plus. After and during the wedding, I got tons of compliments from my guests about how pretty the venue itself was.
The only cons were that if you do hold your wedding here, you HAVE to go through their vendor list. I found this frustrating (and unusual, maybe it’s a southern thing?) because when I discovered more affordable vendors, or vendors that were more “my style”, I wasn’t able to use them. I had to go with the options they list on the vendor list. And a lot of what was on their list just wasn’t my style, or were just too pricey for my budget. The other con is that the venue is kind of in the middle of nowehere, which makes it hard for guests to get to/from the location if they don’t have their own cars. Which a lot of my guests didn’t, so they would’ve had to resort to Uber. Which would’ve been fine, but out there, Uber is very hard to come by. So, I had to provide transportation. Which is an additional cost of course. That you have to pick from their vendor list. Which I think they had maybe 2-4 different transportation vendors listed, tops. So if those 2-4 are too expensive for one’s liking, you’re kind of out of luck. I would up just having to eat the cost and get transportation for my guests.
