Melanie Schaefer
Event Coordinator
My husband and I own Schaefer Farms. Our desire to have a wedding venue came after having family weddings at the house, since then we have expanded our wedding venue space to allow for others to enjoy the space.

fectly. Our guests kept telling us how gorgeous it was and how relaxed the whole day felt.

Really disappointed in the management of this venue. Pestered us the week after we viewed saying we will lose our day if we didn't put a deposit immediately. Claimed she had people...
the next week who were looking at a time around our weekend and she wouldn't hold it. We paid and discovered everything that she said was included was actually additional costs afterward. So around a week after being pressured to pay a deposit to save our space we found the extra charges and cancelled. Of course she kept all the money despite doing zero work for the 1 week after we paid and the event being 9+ months out. Avoid this unnecessary stress and theft as she will do anything to get the deposit and does not have to return any regardless of time spent, perceived scarcity, or misleading prices. She is not considerate to couples trying to plan their wedding and I can only imagine the nightmare we would've had if we had stuck with this venue.
