Shady Brook Acres

ry step of the planning process, Anne was so helpful and took time to explain or answer any questions! Anne and her crew do everything possible to make sure you wedding day is perfect! You will not regret booking this venue!

sive to any questions, flexible to what the couple wants, and has fair pricing without adding extra fees. She even built an online community for other brides getting married at the same location so we can exchange questions and ideas - so helpful! Also gave a very good list of preferred vendors and that was extremely helpful. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

g got damaged. Anytime I called or text she replied and was always okay with us viewing the venue more when we needed/wanted. The venue itself is huge if you count the fact that you get the outside as well as the inside barn. Perfect for a rustic style wedding. She also had a lot of decorations ready for a rustic wedding so we got to buy a little less but have a beautiful wedding still. We didn't have any bad experiences with this venue and wouldn't change it even if we could. She continues to be upgrade the place and does it all by hand/self which is amazing! Everything there is just so stunning. The entire staff was awesome and helped watch over our wedding and guest to make sure no issues arose or that they could help when if we needed anything!

ue!

vender accents, and the pavilion for the ceremony. The photo opportunities were endless for us and our guests! (which many of them enjoyed taking during the reception). The barn for the reception was beautiful and airconditioned which was perfect for a summer wedding. Many of the decorations were also included which was very helpful! We loved that we could make all the choices about the vendors and do exactly what we wanted and fit into our budget. Anne was very accommodating and quickly responded to messages or questions that we had. We were especially grateful that she helped my 93-year-old grandma get around in a golf cart to the ceremony and reception so that she was safe and didn't have to walk far. I also loved that she has a bride's group to help other brides at the venue share ideas and help each other out! It was also so helpful that the cleaning service was included.

2023. She let me know she had openings pretty much throughout September of 2023. She proceeded to send me a new contract so we can update the date. We DID NOT sign a new contract with an updated date. Monday, August 16, 2021, I was told by Anne that our date is now booked with another couple. Reading our contract it states " This contract may not be amended or changed unless executed in writing and signed by Shady Brook HP and the Client." WE NEVER SIGNED A NEW CONTRACT and now we have lost the venue with no remorse from Anne. The only thing she is willing to do is to book a different date. This is not able to happen, we have other vendors under contract for 09/17/2022. Shady Brook HP was the FIRST vendor to book. Now we are trying to find a different venue with that date open. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

erty is BEAUTIFUL and perfect for an intimate outdoor ceremony. You absolutely will not go wrong choosing Shady Brook Acres for your wedding/reception, graduation party, or family event! Our experience with them was exceptional!
