From the reviews

I don't even know where to start with how much I love this venue and the staff. My husband and I had our wedding reception here a few weeks ago and it was perfect!! Deanna, Alex and Taylor answered every question we had leading up to our wedding and day of. They are organized, professional, and amazing women!

★★★★★ — J, Jun 2021

We happened upon this venue by chance, and haven't regretted our choice once! Deanna and Alex are amazing. Yes, the venue is expensive, but what one isn't? They are well worth the money! You only get married once! The setting is stunning, the animals a bonus, ceremony location options, staff help, etc, can't beat it.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Nov 2024

The barn and grounds are beautiful with many photo opportunities. There are separate getting ready rooms, but the main barn floor is beautiful for getting ready pictures for the bride. There are many option sites to hold ceremony and reception, just take a tour.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Aug 2020

Recently my daughter’s wedding was here and from start to finish we were 100% happy. Alex is so amazing she keeps the day moving so smooth putting out any fires keeping the bride and groom stress free. She goes above and beyond! Her staff is equally as kind and helpful!

Getting married at Rivercrest Farm

Rivercrest Farm 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.
