From the reviews
Our daughter got married here in August. The venue is very reasonably priced and gives you time to decorate and make sure every detail is perfect. We had the wedding and reception inside. The upstairs made it so convenient for the bridesmaids, Mom's and herself to get dressed, hair, makeup done.
I have attended many events at this center and it is always very well ran and perfect. I highly recommend it for multiple types of events including the weddings
What a wonderful venue!! Our wedding (6/20/2026) was outdoor at an arbor by a waterfall. Hearing the waterfall softly in the background during the ceremony made everything even better! The scenery around the property is beautiful with lots of picture opportunities.
Choosing to have our wedding at Countryside Event Center was the best decision we could have made! Kim, Jeff, and their staff went above and beyond (in the middle of a blizzard!
Getting married at Countryside Event Center
Countryside Event Center 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.
