From the reviews
I had the pleasure of ministering a wedding here and it is a beautiful place! The outdoor are all around is amazingly peaceful with plenty of room for any kindn of gathering. The dock and the pond are absolutely beautiful and peaceful.
AMAZING VENUE WITH THE MOST AMAZING CREW. Our day went so smoothly with the help of the crew and as a bride, I couldn’t appreciate that enough. They work so hard behind the scenes and make things so stress free!! Highly recommend this beautiful venue.
My husband and I would like to take a moment to thank Anne Reed and her wonderful staff. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. Shadybrook Hitching Post truly went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our wedding was flawless.
This venue is amazing. Plenty of things to keep the guests busy. The pictures from our daughter's wedding were just so beautiful. Anne is wonderful to work with and is a wealth of knowledge. One of the best things is if she has the decorations you get to use them and it didn't cost you anymore.
Getting married at Shady Brook Acres Hitching Post
Shady Brook Acres Hitching Post 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.
