Ensign Jade Acres was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. From the very first point of contact, Alyssa and Riley were quick, fast, and easy to communicate with, always responding promptly to our questions and needs. The venue itself had a clean, authentic, and rustic aesthetic that perfectly matched the vibe we were going for. Alyssa and Riley were there and ready to help during every moment of our big day, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We are so grateful to have found this hidden gem and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a stress-free, beautiful wedding experience.

A Hidden Gem Wrapped in Rustic Elegance
I attended a wedding at this beautiful barn venue, and it genuinely exceeded every expectation. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and refined elegance—everything feels thoughtfully curated and incredibly welcoming. The warm wood beams, twinkling lights, and wide-open countryside views create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and stunning. Every detail feels intentional, from the decor to the layout, and it truly sets the stage for unforgettable moments. Whether you’re planning a wedding, celebration, or special gathering, this venue has that rare “wow” factor without being overstated. It’s simply timeless, cozy, and breathtaking all at once.
Special Event
We actually had a surprise 60th here on a very cold day in April. Riley and Alyssa were the sweetest hosts and went above and beyond our expectations. The barn was comfortable with plenty of space for guests. I would consider them again and again.
