From the reviews
Could not recommend this venue any more. It is truly beautiful and it exceeded my expectations for where I would marry the love of my life! It’s extremely affordable, and the views are unreal. I particularly liked to be able to pick my own vendors, even though they recommend plenty if you need.
The first time I visited this place I could not get over the beauty, just gorgeous! The view is amazing, and the character of the place is indescribable. Then they added on to the barn and made this the most elegant, warm, classy, and welcoming venue I have ever seen.
Our youngest daughter's wedding was here, this was my family's third "outdoor" wedding in 3 years. I'll have to say this was the smoothest, most convenient and absolutely gorgeous wedding venue to us.
A gorgeous venue with amazing owners and staff! The attention to detail in the restoration of this property will completely blow you away! It is just spectacular!!! The gorgeous farm surroundings and the cozy barn/open air pavilion makes for the PERFECT event venue! You won't be disappointed!
Getting married at The Gray Dove
The Gray Dove 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.
