I just had my wedding here a few weeks ago and it was amazing! I loved the venue, it was beautiful and very spacious! We had access to the house on the property from 2-4 which was great but it would have been better if we could have had the hou...
se all day so we could get all ready there. Also it was a little frustrating that we had to get all of our stuff out of the house by 5 so the people who own the barn and house could have dinner with there family…. During my wedding. They did help me and my bridal party get down to the aisle from the house by golf cart which was wonderful to have! The only other thing I have to say is after my ceremony was over and we were getting ready to take pictures with our family and bridal party the rest of my guest at the wedding were just standing around. My now husband had to go over to the ladies of the barn and ask them to tell everyone else to go into the reception, I wish they would have done been a little more involved in directing people where to go after the ceremony. I know not all venues are involved with the wedding but it would have been nice of them to do. Overall the venue was great and beautiful, just the few things I mentioned would have made the day go by smoother!

Our wedding at ACB was absolutely beautiful. The new owners were very easy to work with, very accommodating to us and made sure everything at the barn was perfect for our special day. We couldn’t be happier that we had our wedding here!

Our Investment Firm planned our 10th Anniversary Party at The Wells Estate and boy what a wonderful time we had! Over 170 people showed up and were in awe of how beautiful the venue looked. It was stunning from the Barn to the house and all of ...
the little details they thought of. The hand-passed appetizers, the drinks, the food stations were all so good! To end the night with a bonfire and smores was the perfect touch! The staff and management were professional yet personal and super friendly to deal with. We had a bunch of last minute RSVP's and The Wells Estate and Partyman Catering handled it with ease. I rate the venue and catering a 10 out of 10- Absolutely Perfect- Thank you!

My husband and I just got married here on 7/2/22, and we had the most wonderful day. When we began our venue search process, we looked at several in the area before coming to ACB. As soon as we set foot on the property and met Sandy, we knew it...
was the one for us. As mentioned in other reviews, the family lives on the property, so we had access to the home for a few hours before the wedding, and this made the perfect backdrop for our photos. My bridal party and I did get our hair and makeup ready off site, but we were able to put our dresses on and take photos in the house before the ceremony started. My husband and his groomsmen and our fathers played yard games while they waited for us! Our guests all had wonderful things to say about the gorgeous property, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing! Thank you Sandy and family for providing us the perfect space and backdrop for our day :)
Notes:
- this review is for the property while it’s owned by the Howlett family. It is currently up for sale.
- the property does not have a space to get fully ready in (at least with the current owners)
- the current owners also do not provide day-of coordination services, so this is a venue for a couple who wants to hire a coordinator or is flexible with their planning abilities!
