The setting
“I added a few rustic elements for a personal touch; however, the majority of the decorating was from the venue.”
Amenities couples mention
“I loved the separate ceremony and reception areas, bridal suite, and groom dressing area.”
“It is off the side of the pavilion for the reception but still feels like its own area/intimate location.”
What couples say again and again
“We could not be happier with the beautiful venue, all of the personnel working the event, or how they treated us from the first time that we met them.”
“I had my wedding here 10-4-25 and they just made everything so stress free and perfect.”
“At first I was worried it would not be worth the extra money, but after hair, makeup, getting food, ice, drinks, and the day of rehearsal, it FLEW by.”
“It is very rare to find a venue that provides all these things for such a good price.”
From the reviews
As the father of the bride, I cannot express how appreciative we are as a family of how professional and responsive that The Venue at Dawes was for our major family event.
THE VENUE AT DAWES IS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL. LORI IS THE BEST COORDINATOR ANYONE COULD ASK FOR. SHE HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND WANT. SHE MAKES GETTING MARRIED FUN AND LESS STRESSFUL. I GIVE HER AND VENUE 100/10. THAT MEANS OVER AND BEYOUND FOR HER CLIENTS.
The Venue at Dawes was perfect for my wedding! We had about 80 guests, everyone was comfortable and it felt intimate, which is what I wanted. We had room for yard games and a fire pit. The property is lovely, the staff are so nice and helpful, I highly recommend.
They were amazing! The workers helped a lot during my wedding and the owner Lori was amazing with working with me changing and adding and she never got tired of me lol. I highly recommend them for weddings and any other events! They are the best!
Getting married at The Venue at Dawes
The Venue at Dawes 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.
