Our experience at The Homestead 1835 was better than we could have ever dreamt. From the day we first visited the venue, Lori and Dave (the owners) made us feel extremely welcomed and right at home. From the start, I knew this venue was going to be stunning and I am so happy that we were able to find it! Lori and her husband were extremely kind, responsive, and professional. They were so caring the entire time and truly made us feel like family. Our wedding unfortunately got rained out and we had to move the ceremony to inside of the barn. However Lori did an amazing job of making me feel better and reassuring me that everything would still be just as amazing and she was absolutely right. Looking back, I wouldn't change any of it! Our guests also raved about this venue and asked how we found it! I am so grateful for our experience at The Homestead 1835 and would recommend it to anyone!

Where do I even begin? The Homestead 1835 is beyond expectations. Lori is a great wedding coordinator (also owner of The Homestead). We just got married in early October this year and I can not stress how beautiful and perfect our day was. Guests couldn't stop raving about the venue and asking "how did you find this place?" Lori is quick at responses and questions. She made is super easy for my husband and I to relax and enjoy the day. Her husband Dave is also the sweetest guy! They make a great team! The food it excellent, the venue is beautiful, Lori and Dave are awesome- what more could you want? I highly recommend checking this place out especially if you are looking for a rustic, outdoor, laid back barn vibe. The Homestead will forever hold a special place in DJ and I's hearts! Thank you sooo much Lori and Dave!

Oh my goodness! I don't have enough words to praise this venue! My wedding was a dream and I owe most of that to Lori and the Homestead. It is an absolutely beautiful venue! I fell in love my first visit-- I never looked anywhere else! Lori and her husband Dave are wonderful people and she helped me with so many details. She really knows what she is doing. Everyone raved about our venue and loved the options they had during the reception-- so many were dancing, hanging out, playing corn hole, and making s'mores. Your guests will not be bored and will leave so happy! It was so much fun and Lori was very helpful during the planning process as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone to have their wedding here-- but don't forget to invite me :)

We were married August 2nd, 2014. I truly only have positive things to say about this venue and the owners! My wedding day was perfect from beginning to end. All of the guests left raving about the awesome venue. My husband and I wanted a laid-back atmosphere where we could have a "family reunion" type of feel. We got exactly that. We had many outdoor games, a campfire, and the barn opened up for an easy flow to the bar and dance floor. Lori and Dave, the owners, were patient, listened to all of our requests, responded to questions timely, were flexible, and encouraged us all along the way. While they are fairly new to the wedding venue world, they are diving in head first and doing a wonderful job! Every time I would talk to Lori or visit in preparation, it seemed like there was a new opportunity or service available. This venue is going places! I cannot think of a better place to have my wedding and, due to their flexibility, I was able to do everything on an awesome budget! As long as you are responsible, follow their very basic venue guidelines and respect their beautiful property, you will get the same in return. If you are looking to have a wedding day where you can relax, kick back, and enjoy a beautiful view... this is the place for you!
