From the reviews

★★★★★ — Alyssa, Jun 2025

Country View Acres is a beautiful venue! The tall oak trees surrounding the outdoor ceremony site are perfect for a scenic and shade covered wedding. Also great that the large indoor reception space is air conditioned! I was the dj at a wedding there and would happily dj another wedding here in the future.

★★★★★ — Brent, Jul 2020

Fantastic wedding venue. As a pastor, I have presided at a few outdoor weddings, but this is my favorite thus far. Well groomed grounds, buildings are new and up to date, the man-made pond is beautiful. The happy couple, along with the guests, raved about this place.

★★★★★ — Eric, Jun 2023

Attended a beautiful wedding at a beautiful venue yesterday! It helped that we had beautiful weather, of course. Country view Acres was thoughtfully laid out on a spacious and scenic acreage.

Getting married at Country View Acres

Country View Acres 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.
