Merv and Candace Beiler

Owner

We live here at Twin Brook Retreat, a winery that Merv turned into a beautiful, peaceful retreat. Merv is a visionary, and is always aggressively working on a new project here, it seems! Candace loves mowing and weed eating around the grounds! We both love to be outside maintaining the property. We enjoy meeting guests and sharing about the community all around us! We have two little boys who you'll often see outside with their Mom on the golf cart or wading around in the creeks.

We loved our wedding at Twin Brook Retreat! My husband and I got married on 11/16/24. Our ceremony was outside by their gorgeous gazebo, and our reception was inside. Candace and Sadie Mae were incredible from start to finish. On our wedding day, we discovered that the DJ didn’t have enough space to set up all of his sound equipment, so Candace allowed us to use Twin Brook’s sound system free of charge! This was only one of the many things that they did to make our day beautiful. While they were fairly hands-off with the planning process, Candace and Sadie Mae were always available when I had questions and they were quick to respond with details. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. It was landscaped perfectly and the interior was rustic, charming and clean. We had approximately 105 guests, and I would not recommend any more than that if you plan on having a dance floor; it was tight, but we managed to have a small dance floor! There weren’t many options for an indoor ceremony except for having the ceremony in the reception room and switching the room over or having guests sit at their dinner tables for the ceremony. We were blessed with a warm day and the ability to be outside, however I would recommend keeping ceremony location in mind if you’re planning a wedding in the colder/rainier months. The wedding party stayed at Candace and Merv’s Airbnb across the street, and my husband’s parents stayed in the stone house on their property. Both accommodations were beautiful and met all of our needs. If you’re coming from out of town, I highly recommend inquiring about them! Overall, Twin Brook was a dream come true. Communication and professionalism were great, and we felt that Candace, Merv and Sadie Mae went above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect. I would highly recommend to any bride and groom!

Having our wedding & reception at Twin Brook was the best decision! One meeting & tour with Candace and you'll agree! We got married at Twin Brook Retreat on 11/11/2023. (We were the first wedding after they did their extensive renovation). Candace & Merv were INCREDIBLE the entire time. From our very first meeting with Candace she was friendly, hospitable, creative, and accommodating. Candace would communicate with us frequently by email, text message, and phone calls and truly wanted to help us in any way she could. The day before the wedding, we were able to arrive onsite and setup the way we wanted. Candace stopped in and helped us know where things were and ensured we were comfortable, but still gave us the freedom to "make ourselves at home." She and Merv talked with us to ensure the space was beautiful and comfortable inside & out. We can't say enough great things about the private spaces for the wedding party! The private Bridal Suite on the first floor has it's own kitchenette, makeup/getting ready room with plenty of mirrors and a private bathroom with full shower. The Grooms Suite upstairs was a great place for the guys to get ready and hang out. There was even an extra "bonus loft space" with a private room that we used for my extended family with young children. Every single person in our party said the private space was fantastic and luxurious. As we were preparing for the wedding rehearsal, we ran into an issue with the sound system and Candace was a phone call away. She was quick to respond and offered her assistance to us IMMEDIATELY. Our catering team said it was easy to locate needed items in the "kitchen", felt very comfortable setting up and serving food, and getting things cleaned up without too much added hassle. We look back on all of our photos and are just in awe at how beautiful the whole place was! We can't say enough nice things about Candace, Merv and Twin Brook Retreat! I am confident, if I had any concerns throughout the preparation or day of I could call Candace and she would be there, ready to support and love on us as she does best! Candace- Thank You so much for making our wedding at Twin Brook as special as it was. YOU made our day PERFECT. Thank You somehow doesn't feel like enough, but THANK YOU!

We had out wedding at Twin Brook on 9/25/21 for about 75 guests. We rented Twin Brook event space and the attached air BnBs Friday-Sunday. Candace frequently checked in on us when we were setting up and was so helpful. She even stopped by Sunday as we were cleaning up and offered a small gift as a token of appreciation for us using Twin Brook for our wedding. All of our vendors and guests commented on how beautiful the venue is. It was so convenient to be able to set up, sleep at the venue and then get ready there in the morning. The whole space is so clean, and the grounds are beautiful. There is very little we had to do to make the space look amazing as it is so naturally beautiful. Thouthout the whole planning process Candace was great, always offering quick responses. The venue itself is so beautiful and customizable to whatever style you may like. I truly can't say enough good things. If you're thinking about booking Twin Brook don't even hesitate. It is a guarantee for a beautiful wedding!

From the first moment I toured Twin Brook Retreat, I knew it was the place for my husband and I to get married! Candace and her husband have been very responsive, kind, and helpful, going above an beyond to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. I stayed with my bridesmaids in the Stone House the night before my wedding, and we loved it! It was so gorgeous, clean, and had the most comfortable beds! The next day, we had our ceremony outside by the brook, under the trees. It was magical. Our reception was a short walk away in the red barn building, decorated so beautifully with place settings, tablecloths, and lovely centerpieces we were able to rent from Twin Brook Retreat. It was so easy to not have to buy all that and bring it myself! There was also a very convenient kitchen area for the vendors easily set up for our dinner! Candace and her husband maintain the grounds so well, that everywhere on that property was picture perfect, it made it very easy for us to get beautiful wedding photos! My family constantly raves about how we made the perfect choice in booking Twin Brook Retreat. It was a wonderful experience, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

I couldn't have asked for a better place to have my wedding. Candace and Merv were very accommodating. They gave us our space but we're always available for help when we needed. It rained right before before our outdoor ceremony but they were there with towels to help us dry off all the chairs so we could get the ceremony started without missing a beat! The venue it's self was very beautiful and quiet. We used both the outdoor and indoor spaces and would recommend it to anyone. I also recommend staying in their beautiful air bnb rooms. It made the weekend so much easier and relaxing being able to say at the venue.

My husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner and wedding at Twinbrook Retreat and it was a DREAM! Candace and Merv are down to earth and go above and beyond with their property. The entire area is absolutely GORGEOUS with many fantastic photo opportunities. I highly recommend for brides to rent The Charming Abode (through AirBnb) as a bridal suite the night before! The suite has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. Overall our experience was top notch. The biggest comment we had on our big day was how much everyone loved the venue! Highly highly recommend!

We liked Twin Brook Retreat so much we not only had our daughters wedding there but her bridal shower as well! The welcoming warm atmosphere is a perfect setting for any event. We felt as if we received an exceptional value and thoroughly enjoyed working with the Twin Brook team. We highly recommend renting the 4 attached beautiful Air BnBs to accommodate your out of town guests. Hands down the best venue to rent for a bridal shower/wedding/reception!

I had my wedding here May 2019. The venue and the 3 air BnBs are absolutely stunning. The Beiler's were incredible, so attentive and made sure that everything was perfect and went without a hitch. I thought I was just renting a venue but we got so much more. Highly recommend this venue for any party or wedding- they're absolutely wonderful!
