★★★★★ — Corinne, Jun 2024

Haven’t had a chance to leave our review of our absolutely exceptional wedding day because of the holiday craziness and post wedding bliss that ensues after a wedding, but I’ve definitely been meaning to take a moment to express my gratitude to this wonderful venue and the people who run/own it.

Getting married at Amelia Grove

Amelia Grove comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
