From the moment we reached out to Maple Lane Retreat, their communication was fast and amazing. The quality of their work and the value they provided was fantastic - the open space at their venue offered endless opportunities to personalize our wedding weekend. We were able to rent out the extra rooms on the property, which meant we could stay the whole weekend and be 90% less stressed leading up to the big day. Maple Lane Retreat also included a bunch of extras like games and tables and a huge refrigerator to keep our drinks cold ,on the property that really made our wedding weekend special. We had an amazing story to tell thanks to the team at Maple Lane Retreat.

Whitetail Acres Wedding & Event Venue was an amazing choice for our wedding! Their communication style was incredible - they used a convenient wedding portal and always responded to our messages within 24 hours. The venue itself was so spacious and we loved all the little decorative details inside. They really went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, providing bartenders, tables and chairs, tablecloths, and even extra decorations that we were able to use.

I highly recommend renting this facility. The rental fee and the space are unmatched. It is my favorite go to when I plan any event that I will have more than 20. The hanger or barn were perfect graduation, Christmas, birthday parties or showers/weddings. Open the hanger doors and we had the outside, but were sheltered from the rain. Plenty of paved parking so no mud or snow. Formal or casual, large group or smaller, nice weather or inclement it has proven the perfect space for many of our events and definitely allowed me to think outside the box when I plan.
