Katy was amazing from the start. She was very professional and patient. She was so helpful on the day of our ceremony. I love all of the amenities that this venue offered. A getting ready area for the bride and groom at the venue is a rarefind especially one of that quality. My bridesmaids loved the getting ready cabin. My guests raved about the intimate feel of the venue and how beautiful it was. I agree 100%. I am so glad I stuck with my gut instinct and used this venue.

This is an amazing venue that I'm so glad we ended up at. It was absolutely gorgeous to get married in, and it had amazing amenities for everything from the reception to the suites for the wedding parties.
But the standout that I think is worth more than anything to anyone looking for a venue, is the management. The manager of the venue was so incredibly helpful with every step of planning our special day, and on our wedding day itself, she and her staff were so on top of everything that I can't imagine a wedding going any smoother. They all worked so well with us and our vendors during what can be such a chaotic time. And I'm sure anyone planning a wedding or event like ours can appreciate that having management this fantastic is the best thing you can ask for in a venue.
I can't recommend The Backyard Venue enough.

This is a beautiful venue and the owners really know where to step in to make sure your wedding/event is successful. Our daughter was married there this past weekend and it was absolutely magical. The options are endless with the outdoors spaces and indoor space. The newly installed heaters under the pavilion ensured for a good time even on a cold night. The clear bubble umbrellas were such a nice touch/vibe. From the golf cart drivers to the owners themselves everything was perfect. Katy even redid an area that was destroyed by the wind and add some flowers she had in her inventory as well. Highly recommend The Backyard Venue!!!

The Backyard Venue is absolutely magical. It’s a smaller venue but it’s very elegant and quaint. The owners and staff were very accommodating and helped bring our wedding dreams to life! The twinkling lights at night really set the mood and ambiance we were looking for. From their barn house to all the animals they have on property, everything was PERFECT.
