I had my wedding here on a weekday, which they don't normally do, but they did their absolute best to accommodate me. They wrote a new contract for just my situation and I was able...
to add and remove things as needed. The planning process was easy going. I had NO clue how to set up a seating arrangement and I get overwhelmed easily, but they were extremely helpful and guided me every step of the way. The day of our wedding, we had a person there to make sure we had everything we needed. She was out of sight, but I could call or text her and I'd get an answer right away. I paid for the fireplace add-on, but with how short our ceremony was, we didn't use it but for only like an hour... if that. So, they refunded us for that which they didn't have to do. They were the most reasonably priced with a GORGEOUS venue. Absolutely recommend.

GORGEOUS!! A word I heard the entire day! Not only were my family and friends complimenting my daughter they were also describing the venue. The wedding day was the last weekend in...
May and the flowers were unbelievable! We were able to have the wedding outside in the beautiful gardens, but I was pleased that there were two other inside options in case the weather did not cooperate. The outside pavilion is beautiful!! The Bixlers take as much care of the gardens as they do the details for the bride and groom's families. Clara was a wonderful host. She was very professional and attentive to our requests. Thank you to the Bixlers for making it a day we will never forget!

The venue is a really great place for pictures and it is affordable. I think my only issue is communication and reliability. I am a DIY bride; I could not afford a planner or coord...
inator. I spent a year planning and really depended on the venue to provide accurate information so I could plan accordingly and they were very inconsistent. The person I began working with (Sarah) gave me 3 different answers when I was trying to confirm the venue's inventory as I began planning layout. There were table measurements in my contract that I found out later were incorrect, which is a big deal because I bought tablecloths based on the measurements provided. Then, there was something very important to my timeline that Sarah suggested that later Clara told me a couple days before the wedding was outdated information. This really effected certain things I had planned and it was too close to the wedding to change the timeline. Even though Sarah seemed to be the source of inconsistencies, according to Clara, I also felt like Clara communicated in ways that were very discouraging. For example, even though Clara knew I had already tested my projector and video in the venue and there were no issues, she wanted to let me know that she didn't have high confidence in doing this. Clara would often start off a sentence with doubt, then end with "but if you want to do this..." I think if you have the money to hire a coordinator or planner then this is a nice place because maybe they will be familiar with the venue already, but if you are a DIY bride this place is not consistent and reliable enough. Before the day of my wedding even came, I felt so overwhelmed just from the misinformation from the venue. As a DIY bride, I just wasn't expecting the venue or even some of my vendors to be so inconsistent when this is what they do for a living.
