Where to start!? Nothing but love over here. Maidenwood was everything we dreamed of and then some! We wanted an outdoor summer wedding with the comfort of modern amenities and Maidenwood is the perfect mix! When we toured the venue, I actually was so moved by the pine forest ceremony site that I cried. The blooming rose bushes and wildflowers coupled with a modern and elegant reception space truly meant we didn’t need much decor. No tablecloths or chair covers needed. Maidenwood is simply gorgeous and speaks for itself. We knew immediately that it was the right fit and booked our date that day. Over the next year, we worked with the owner Steve and his team. They checked in to see how we were doing and were just so easy to talk to, friendly, helpful, organized, professional, the list goes on. After getting married here last week, any expectations we had for the day were exceeded! Steve was a beacon of calm for us all day and Jana ran everything behind the scenes. We didn’t have to worry about a thing all day and were able to fully exist in the moment on our wedding day. It was purely magical! And we got SO many compliments on the venue. Photos do not do justice to Maidenwood, highly recommend checking it out yourself! These folks genuinely want you to have the best day of your life and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again, much love from Zak and Ashley!

What a treasure! I recently delivered and set up florals I created for a wedding. I had never been to the nursery/venue before, and I must say my curiosity was peaked. Wow…this was more magical than I could have imagined! Not only is the property historical, the charms of the buildings and patios were like walking through an English garden. Upon going inside, I was again, enamored with the vibe of this venue! It had a modern rustic charm to it- bright white walls, warm wood features & an antique garden gazebo, among other unique features. It was enchanting to say the least! It is perfect for an intimate event. It has plenty of space for many guest tables, features tables (food, photo) and photo opportunities. The natural light through the windows that look out onto the patio gardens provide a perfect blend of letting the beauty of nature in. The staff was very friendly, helpful & hospitable. I met several of the staff that day and you could tell they loved what they do out at Marketplatz. I am very much looking forward to my next event there.
