Wedding Guest

This venue is the most beautiful place! Every detail is so perfect for that rustic/country barn wedding. Kelsey and Nathan couldn't have made the experience any easier for my brother and now sister in law. They made the experience so easy as they handled so much behind the scenes. And I must mention, 20 minutes before the ceremony, my bridesmaid dress busted in the back! Kelsey, as crazy busy as she was preparing for a smooth ceremony, didn't hesitate to stop what she was doing and found pins to pin the back of my dress. I'm so grateful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!
