From the reviews
We celebrated our 40th BNI reunion at this beautiful venue and we couldn’t have asked for a more memorable night! The staff was professional and very accommodating. The food was delicious and we were allowed to add our own personal touches to make it an extra special event.
We had our wedding at Cloister in the Woods in April 11, 2026, and it was absolutely beautiful. The venue felt magical from the moment we arrived and provided the perfect scenery for our photos. The outdoor patio is so lovely, especially in the evening.
We hosted my son’s 18th birthday party at Cloister in the Woods and I can honestly say I was very pleased with the entire experience. Paige, the manager, was incredible to work with. She was attentive, organized, and paid attention to even the smallest details.
Would I recommend this place for your party needs…ABSOLUTELY!!!! The customer service was amazing…the food was amazing and the venue itself is such a vibe. I absolutely loved every encounter I had with the staff there right from the start but Paige absolutely stole my heart!
Getting married at Cloister in the Woods
Cloister in the Woods comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. 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.
