We had our wedding here back in March and it was everything I could’ve hoped for! It was a destination wedding so we were planning from the other side of the country, but Amy was absolutely amazing with communicating and going through all the details we’d otherwise would have forgotten about. Day of went seamlessly! We were always told to hope for the best but plan for something to go wrong and if something did, we had no idea! The decorations were perfect, food was great, DJ was awesome, and the staff was lovely.

I can’t even begin to express how amazing the staff and accommodations are at Legacy Farms. From start to finish, they handled every little detail. Every single staff member made me and my friends and family feel amazing and welcome. The food, the decor, the cake, everything was more than I expected. We did the full weekend package and it was absolutely worth every penny! I did not have a single worry the entire time. :-) They also recommended the absolute best photographer (Laura K. Allen) and videographer (Griffin Dunn) EVER!! Legacy Farms truly took care of ALL of our needs.
