From the reviews
We got married at Lilac Acres on 6/19/21 and had the wedding of our dreams! Everything flowed perfectly throughout the day and we did not run into any issues! The catering team was able to use the catering space on-site seamlessly, the florist was able to set up everything without any issues, and the venue's bar staff…
We worked closely with Sara at Lilac Acres throughout the planning process, and she was an absolute joy to work with, accommodating, and always helpful. The venue hosts open house dates, which we found incredibly useful for planning our table layout and getting more familiar with the space.
My husband and I LOVED getting married here! The venue was absolutely gorgeous and we received numerous compliments from our guests saying how perfect it was! The staff did an excellent job too. It worked out so well that we were able to have our ceremony, reception, and place to stay the night all in one place!
Oh my goodness what an amazing place. My fiance and I got married there last night and we got compliment after compliment after compliment how amazing the venue was. Few tiny critiques though, the fan in the master suite cannot run independently of the light for some reason.
Getting married at Lilac Acres
Lilac 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.
