"The venue is absolutely gorgeous and it allows people to create their own personal vision of what they want. Most venues come with attached catering services and limited choices but we were able to hand pick exactly what we wanted and not have to settle for prepackaged vendor deals. The entire estate is breathtaking. If you love nature, flowers, and outdoors this venue is magical. This was truly a dream come true for me! Very happy and highly recommend!!!"

"Words cannot describe how beautiful the venue is. We had an all outdoor wedding and reception. Our day was a dream come true and a lot of it had to do with Wandering Tree. The property owner gave us contact information for various vendors, which we ended up using. My wedding was the perfect day. Not one thing went wrong. Not one thing was out of place. We have received so many compliments about our choice in location for our wedding and I'll always cherish the memories."
