We love Karla and Joe and Shadow Wood Manor. My wife and I are so glad that we were married there. It's such a beautiful, private, serene setting. Karla is just the loveliest person and a gracious host. She was such a delight to work with, accommodating and sweet. We'll always be grateful for such a positive experience.

A 4400sq.ft. wedding barn complete with crystal chandeliers, a bride's room, antique furnishings, dance floor, a bar, a fireplace, a covered patio, heat and air, a prep kitchen, and handicap accesible restrooms. Each day includes a day prior for setting up, decorating, and a run thru rehearsal.

I am a retired pharmacist, and live on a horse ranch with my husband. We are both retired now and no longer have horses. The property is so beautiful, I thought what a perfect setting for weddings. I have always loved hosting parties, so the idea came together for Shadow Wood Manor weddings and events. Shadow was the name of a much loved Arabian horse that lived here. hence the name Shadow Wood Manor. I love gardening , dancing, and spending time with friends and family (especially my grandson💕) I am looking forward to being a part of couples planning their dream wedding.

rs are the sweetest most honest people you’ll ever meet. They literally become your family during the process. This venue is 10/10. I had a venue for our wedding and we were not happy with it, so with about a month until our day, I was told about shadow wood by my photographer. I went the following day to check it out and immediately fell in love. I am so happy that my wedding day was available, because my wedding was amazing and beautiful! Thank you so much Shadow Wood Manor for making my dream come true and for being so amazing. I couldn’t have imagined sharing my special day with anyone else!

fect for your big day. The venue is so unique and has so much character to it. Karla is so helpful and good at working with your budget, and she does not nickel and dime you for everything like other venues do! Karla is so sweet and you can tell she truly cares about your wedding and making sure it is exactly how you want it. We also did our engagement pictures at the venue and they turned out so good!
