This venue was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have been more happy. From planning, their attention to detail, everyone is on the same page. My wedding coordinator Cheyenne checked in with me constantly. On my wedding day she made sure I didn’t even go 5 minutes without making sure I was ok or if I needed something. Their ENTIRE staff is amazing though. Everything was beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married.

We had our wedding at The Tree House as a destination wedding. Communication was a little rocky throughout the planning process; I had to reach out for everything, as not very much was readily explained. I spent a lot of time planning and making my own things. Because of this, I was nervous about how the wedding would turn out. However, it was absolutely beautiful and it all came together due to their help and setup. They had wonderful vendors- the photographer, baker, food, DJ, and servers were all amazing. The day was perfect and I wouldn’t change anything.

M&M Farms is an amazing wedding venue. The owners, Tamber and Cole, are always there and very fast to answer any questions or concerns that come up all the way up to the day you say "I do." The space is incredible, with lots of room for the ceremony and reception, and multiple locations for the cocktail hour and tons of photo opportunities. Tamber was there to make sure the ceremony ran smoothly and that I was taken care of. Cole even picked up the wedding party on a golf cart and drove us to the aisle, as well as making multiple trips to ensure everything went perfectly. I would recommend this venue to everyone - it's such a family-friendly place, and now we consider Tamber and Cole good friends.
