Stop your searching—-THIS IS YOUR PLACE! From our very initial visit to our good bye after the wedding Ann and her team made our wedding spectacular. As the MOB, living out of st...
ate I was a little concerned how everything would come together. However, from our initial meeting I knew we were going to be well taken care of. I honestly cannot think of a negative thing to say about this venue. They work hard to make your wedding everything you want it to be. From helping find vendors in the area to creating the wedding reception of your dreams. Answering questions along the way was never a problem and they were answered timely. We also used the house on the property and it was wonderful to have the wedding party in one place for the entire weekend. This is our families first wedding and from what I have discovered the value for what you get and everything Ann and her team do is so worth the cost. I cannot recommend it enough!

We were initially a little hesitant about putting a bigger portion of our budget toward the venue, but once we saw everything that was included, it felt like such a worthwhile choice. Beyond the stunning space and incredible level of care from the staff, we found that so much of the décor we had been planning to buy or rent was already available onsite. It saved us the hassle of purchasing, packing, and trying to resell things afterward—which was such a relief.
Throughout the planning process, Ann was incredible—meeting with us multiple times, answering every question with patience, and bringing all of my wild ideas to life. She just got the vision and made it happen. She was also super responsive via email, which made communication a breeze.
The weekend of the wedding, the staff truly went above and beyond. Having day-of staff made such a difference—it allowed us to be fully present and enjoy the moment, knowing someone we trusted was keeping everything on track. Whether it was a hiccup with another vendor or an unexpected weather twist (55 degrees in May?!), the Greenhouse team handled everything calmly and seamlessly. They kept the day running smoothly without ever making it feel like our problem.
The Farmhouse next door was another huge plus. It gave our wedding party a cozy, convenient space to get ready together and stay close by, which helped the whole weekend feel more connected and relaxed.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue—from how beautiful the space was to how kind and helpful the staff were. And the next morning? Everything was neatly packed and ready to go in our totes—such a gift after a night of celebrating.
The Greenhouse at Bittersweet is a stunning venue run by truly thoughtful people, and as the couple getting married, we were actually able to be present and enjoy every moment of the day. That’s something we’ll always be grateful for.
My wife and I loved everything about this venue! Working with Ann and Marcia was an absolute pleasure for our June 2025 wedding. It was the perfect day, and everything turned out b...
eautifully thanks to the staff, in particular Ann and Marcia. It is a beautiful venue that provides accommodation in the farmhouse for the bridal party guests, etc. The communication was exceptional, and the execution was flawless. The Greenhouse at Bittersweet venue is LGBTQ+ inclusive, and we had the most wonderful experience! If we could get married every year, we would have it here again and again!!!
We truly could not have picked a more perfect place to have our wedding! The Greenhouse at Bittersweet and coordinator Ann were so organized, thoughtful, and professional. We felt ...
so at ease throughout the planning process knowing we could trust Ann and her staff to help us throw the perfect wedding. Our guests loved staying at the farmhouse - it was the perfect way to bring everyone together for the weekend. We also appreciated the ability to throw our rehearsal dinner at the attached barn venue. Overall, our wedding felt truly magical at the Greenhouse at Bittersweet! We can't recommend this venue enough!!

We hosted both our ceremony and reception at the Greenhouse at Bittersweet, and did the wedding weekend package and stayed at the farmhouse on the venue. We greatly appreciated the...
amount of help and guidance that the Greenhouse staff (Ann) gave us in both planning for and day of coordination of the wedding. The decorations provided by the Greenhouse were perfect. We appreciated not having to provide most of the decorations ourselves, rather just the few personalized decorations we wanted. The Greenhouse staff literally took care of everything that needed to be done as far as the venue for the wedding, both in terms of decorating, but also talking with other vendors as they came on site. We could not have had such as smooth wedding without the Greenhouse staff. They fully coordinated rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, with flexibility on what we catered in for supper. Day of the wedding, they walked us through each part of the wedding. When they saw something that needed to be done, they did it. We were fully able to enjoy our time and our day together, without having to also worry about the small details of running a large event (e.g., like filling the snacks bowls). The Greenhouse was also very flexible with us with drink options, we neither of us drink a lot of alcohol or soda. Staying at the Farmhouse was perfect. The house is huge and gorgeous, with plenty of room for 5 families, two of which had young children. The house was very helpful for getting ready without having to feel rushed to get to or from the venue, and allowed us a quiet place to offer to our guests with young children who needed space away from the dancing and music. We are so pleased with our experience with the Greenhouse at Bittersweet, it felt like a short vacation with our best friends and their families, and a fun, casual wedding in between!

a well air conditioned facility. The farmhouse is an added bonus for getting ready and storing things. The inside of the Greenhouse is truly from a fairy tale. Every single one of our guests complimented us on the space and how beautiful it was.
I also recommend this venue because the staff are truly remarkable. They made the day and the days leading up go so smoothly from set up to tear down. I wasn't stressed at any point, because I knew that they had everything in control. Ann the coordinator is also a literal dream! She communicated well with me and other vendors, was organized, and listened to what our dream for the day was; while also making it become a reality. Everything I envisioned was brought to life by her, Nancy the florist, and all the supporting staff. They were kind, and helpful when it came to anything I might need during the planning and the day of festivities.
I 1000% recommend Bittersweet Greenhouse!

e amount of detail they put into planning is unlike any other venue we toured while planning, and the amenities they offer beat anywhere else in the area. Ann truly made planning the details completely stress free and it was beyond helpful that she's got a lot of experience also being a wedding coordinator. Ann and the bittersweet team truly made our day perfect and I cannot thank them enough! <3

The venue is absolutely stunning! The team was extremely helpful and ensured a seamless wedding day experience. We highly recommend Bittersweet!
The best venue! We did the wedding weekend package and it was seriously so stress free. The venue manager Ann is an absolute gem and made all of our dreams come true!
The Greenhouse at Bittersweet was the ideal space for our recent party: a small (under 100 guests) reception. From our initial inquiry to the day of the event, communication was ex...
cellent; Jen and Ann made themselves available to address any questions or concerns we had during planning. Ann’s calm demeanor meant that there were no true hiccups - she handled everything with ease and it made her a joy to work with. The outdoor patios offered extra space for our guests to mingle, enjoy the weather, and view the sunset. The ambiance was inviting, the décor tasteful, and the layout well considered.
Of special note, the bartenders at our event were delightful! They brought a warm and friendly energy to the bar that made everyone feel welcome. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that every guest had a fantastic experience. Props to the bartending team for helping to make our event seamless and for their amazing attitudes and assistance in helping with clean up after all the guests went home!
If you're looking for a venue that combines understated elegance with efficiency and a staff who genuinely care about making your event a success, you found it.
So much love for the Greenhouse at Bittersweet! My husband and I had the most beautiful rehearsal and wedding here and can not thank Jen, and the other staff, enough for making our...
day a fairytale! The Greenhouse was extremely beautiful during all hours of the day but especially during golden hour. The staff we worked with were so kind and truly treated us like family throughout the entire planning process. They make planning so easy since they provide so many wonderful services and products needed for the wedding day (decor, florals, getting ready spaces, etc…). Jen worked with us to make our special day exactly what we envisioned and MORE by not only accommodating our special requests but making them even more magical (for example, we did a private dinner and I thought this would be upstairs in a dressing room but Jen found a beautiful spot and set the table with candles, flowers, a speaker playing our wedding music etc…) Very responsive and easy to work with. Got many compliments on the venue and how kind the staff were. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you x100 to Jen and all at Bittersweet!
