Finding this venue felt like discovering a hidden gem. 9030 Rockland Estates is tucked away in the most peaceful, picturesque spot — it truly felt like a dream once we found it through lots of searching online. When we booked in 2023, the venue was still fairly new, but after our first walk-through, we instantly fell in love. The ceremony site was breathtaking, and even though the deck and a few other spaces were still being developed at the time, we could already see the incredible potential. Over nearly two years of planning, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda (the owner) and later Kaitlyn, the event coordinator. Both of them were amazing — incredibly responsive, warm, and supportive. Amanda especially went above and beyond, answering every question (no matter how small) with patience and enthusiasm. Her joyful spirit shines through in everything she does. As a former bride herself, she truly understands what couples need and has built that perspective into her venue experience. One of the best things about 9030 is the flexibility it offers. You get access to the property from Thursday through Sunday, which makes all the difference — especially for DIY brides or anyone without a big setup crew. Having time for rehearsal, setup, and cleanup without feeling rushed was a huge blessing. Amanda also later opened the on-site house for couples, families, and wedding parties to stay in, which made our weekend so much easier and more enjoyable. Being able to get ready right there, change after the ceremony, and simply relax without worrying about transportation was incredible. The venue itself has everything a couple could want — beautiful indoor bathrooms, a spacious bridal suite, a groom’s suite, and stunning natural backdrops everywhere you look. Amanda keeps improving and adding thoughtful touches all the time. She allows couples to bring their own vendors and alcohol (with a licensed bartender), which gave us so much flexibility to personalize our day. About 10 days before the wedding, Amanda informed us that the venue could no longer do fireworks in-house, but she quickly helped us find a licensed vendor and handled all the logistics. The show turned out to be spectacular — truly the best way to end a magical night. It rained on our wedding day, which initially broke my heart since I had dreamed of that outdoor ceremony site from the moment I saw it. But Amanda and her team transformed the tent space so beautifully that I ended up loving it even more. The way the florals, colors, and lighting came together created the most romantic atmosphere imaginable. Everyone is still raving about how gorgeous it was! Yes, there were minor hiccups — mostly due to me underestimating how the rain plan would affect seating with our large bridal party — but overall, everything was seamless and stunning. Amanda’s flexibility, kindness, and understanding made all the difference. If I could do it all over again (which I won’t, because I married my forever!), I’d 110% book 9030 Rockland Estates again — maybe just earlier in September to skip the rain! This venue, and the people behind it, made our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. We feel so lucky and grateful to have celebrated such a special day in such a beautiful place.

Caboose Farm is a magical dream! We wanted a wedding venue that allowed some of our guests to stay on site, allowed us to host both the wedding and reception as well as a welcome dinner for all of our guests on Friday. We almost gave up on that dream until we visited Caboose Farm on a cold day in November and knew it would be perfect! Flash forward to September and it was a gorgeous property full of flowers!! Our guests were blown away by the houses, the glade where we decided to have the ceremony, the event barn where we had a BBQ Friday and cocktail hour Saturday, and our tented reception overlooking the amazing property. We worked with Colby and our wedding planners the Otherside Creatives to sort out the many aspects of our wedding weekend and everything was perfect. We had a roaring fire both nights, beautifully crafted cocktails, and a golf cart always at the ready to help some of our unsteady guests. We cannot recommend Caboose Farm and their team enough! Truly the best weekend of our lives!

We are honored to have such a beautiful and historic piece of history still within the family to share with you for your special day.

5 stars is not enough to rate this venue. My husband and I got married August 30th at The Granary at Peach Glen. When I started planning for the wedding, I was scared to start looking for venues because I knew they could get pricey fast, and I didn’t know who would have the accommodations we were looking for. After doing some research, The Granary was the first venue we went to look at. We automatically fell in love with the venue. But what made this venue stand out from the others was how affordable it was, and the fact that we could rent the venue from Thursday-Sunday. They also offer a bridal suite on site. With my 5 bridesmaids, the bridal suite was more than large enough to have us all get ready at the same time, and set up beautifully. The icing on the cake was the owner Lisa and her husband Dale. Upon meeting them for the first time, they immediately felt like family. Their hospitality was like no other, and on our wedding day their whole family helped out around the venue. Lisa drove me in her own car to where I wanted to be dropped off at the ceremony to make sure nobody saw me on my way there. The bustle on my dress wasn’t cooperating at one point, and the daughter in law came running over to me and helped get it pinned back up. The family helped the guests park so we didn’t have to worry about that. I could go on and on about how helpful they were. The whole family made our wedding day go so smooth, not because they had to, but you could genuinely tell it was because they wanted to. I am forever grateful for them, and I honestly cannot recommend this venue enough.

The venue space is easily customizable and versatile to whatever decor you bring. You have plenty of time to set up and tear down if you are staying the whole weekend. Plus, our wedding was in July and the A/C was AMAZING for our guests on such a hot day! Our guests could not stop complimenting the venue. I love how tucked away we felt but with such close proximity to town. The Manor House is beautiful and the perfect place to stay and get ready. The bridesmaids and groomsmen were able to stay the night before, and everyone was able to get ready in the separate bridal suite and groomsmen lounge. I highly recommend Lakewood Estates for your wedding or event venue.

Ballenger was the perfect location for our small wedding. Truly, I cannot say enough good things about it. It's conveniently located (you can get to the grocery store in 5 minutes if, say, you realize you forgot to get paper plates for all your wedding guests...) but it feels totally removed and magical. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how pretty the farm was. The house is decorated with all sorts of charming touches, the goats/chickens/cats wandering around are adorable, and Liz is such an amazing venue owner. She was incredibly responsive and kind and I want to be her friend (so Liz, uh, call me?). If you're thinking of booking something here, JUST DO IT.
