This venue is magic, from the gazebo in the pond to the rushing Middle Tyger river all the way to the beautiful pavilion overlooking the river and the red covered bridge. The owners worked their tails off to make the venue ready for us! They added a special touches everywhere. Calla lilies, hydrangeas and all the flowering azaleas on the property are just gorgeous!

Madyson & Austin

From the moment I stepped onto this venue I fell in love. The river that flows through the middle is absolutely breathtaking, on top of just giving a calming scenery. There’s a red covered bridge that sits above the river, we decided to do our cocktail hour and guest book signing on this bridge and it was definitely great for photos. The venue is well decorated within itself, I honestly didn’t add much decorations at all. Jennifer is such a nice woman and gave the best experience and was so much help coming from someone who has never even been to a wedding I would hire her and have my wedding at this venue a million times if I could… if you’re thinking of this venue I promise you will not regret it and will have the most magical wedding day.
