Shared Moments, Lasting Memories
We cannot say enough good things about Shady Brook and their staff. My husband and I originally planned a full ceremony and reception- after further discussion we ultimately decided to elope. Shady Brook Acres was kind and flexible enough to allow us to change our booking from a full ceremony to their elopement package. The venue is beautiful, the owner and staff are accommodating and go above and beyond to make sure your day is specific to your wants and goes as smooth as possible. We had an amazing day and could not be more thankful for this venue.
Shady Brook was the perfect place for my husband and I to have our wedding. The ceremony spot was romantic and beautiful, the grounds are well kept and had gorgeous spots for pictures, and the barn for the reception was modern and spacious. The owner, Anne, takes such great care of her venue! She's extremely hands on and helpful. It's easy to see she loves to see her Brides and Grooms extremely satisfied and happy with their big day!
Absolutely, hands down, a beautiful venue with an accommodating staff. Everyone had nothing but high praise for the staff, vendors, and facilities. We definitely made the right decision hiring Anne and her crew. They were easy to work with and gave great suggestions to make the day less stressful and fun!
Absolutely amazing venue and staff. I had my wedding here and got so many compliments on the venue and staff. Anne and her staff are AMAZING. They make everything run so smooth and are always there to answer any questions. I highly recommend if you are looking for a venue!
We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding at Shady Brook. After looking at many venues, I had a winter wedding vision from the beginning, with an outdoor winter ceremony. Were everyone grabbed a hot chocolate, went outside for a short and sweet ceremony, then back into the barn for warmth. Anne was one of the only people that gave the idea any time of day. She up for the challenge from the beginning. Not only is the venue gorgeous, the grounds are well maintained, and the feel is laid back yet sophisticated, with a ton of room! But Anne is the most amazing Day of Coordinator, and went over so many things I would have never thought about so that our actual wedding day went so smooth, on time, and got everything in we wanted. I had a few unconventional things for our wedding day, and she didn't shy away from any of them. She made it all happen. We loved our day, and will cherish our memories for years to come.
I cannot say enough about Anne, her staff and the venue at Shady Brook. Anne was wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions. The compliment we received over and over, was how beautiful the grounds and venue were. If you are looking for a great venue, this is it!! 100% recommend.
