Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This 60-acre lakeside retreat and equestrian farm offers a true escape from everyday life, with Scandinavian-inspired cabins tucked into old-growth forest 70 feet above Perry Lake. Elopements are especially lovely here, with generous packages that feature overnight lodging, a mini cake and florals, and photography.
- Say “I do” in a magical wooded amphitheater surrounded by towering trees, as your guests look on from gleaming, custom-built wooden benches. Intimate receptions are held in the The Pony Up loft, a cozy, cathedral-ceilinged space above the stables, while larger celebrations can spill out onto Clover Lawn under the stars with the resident horses as a gentle backdrop.
- Opt for a true destination weekend experience with a farm buyout, inviting your guests to join you in this woodsy wonderland for the weekend. The thoughtfully designed accommodations feature floor-to-ceiling windows, private hot tubs, and immersive forest views that make you feel completely surrounded by nature.
