Look no further. Etre Farms is the fairytale venue. Throughout the planning process everyone continued to ask us how stressed we were and thanks to the Etre team our response was \"We're not. Our venue does it ALL.\" Their inclusive package makes wedding planning a breeze. The team takes hospitality and customer service to a new level. From details like reminding me to glue the clasp of my necklace to my neck so it didn't turn during pictures to ensuring that my husband and I were fed and had a beverage in hand, the dedication does not go unnoticed. This team strives to enhance every detail and make it a day you and your guests will never forget.

We recently had the privilege of getting married here and everything about Etre Farms was absolutely immaculate! Etre Farms truly sets the stage for an unforgettable celebration. From the breathtaking surroundings, to the picturesque barn-reimagined, this place is a photographers dream. The attention to detail in every aspect of the wedding and time leading up to the wedding was impressive. Mark & Nicole, and the entire Etre Farms staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of and everything went according to plan. To us, this was one of the largest differentiators when picking a venue. They deserve praise for their flexibility and willingness to accommodate each couples unique preferences and ideas. The personalized touches added an extra layer of warmth and made the celebration truly reflect our story. The catering team at Etre Farms truly outdid themselves. The dinner was a culinary dream, with an immense amount of choices, custom designed based on you and your guests favorite foods and preferences. One thing that stood out to us, was the incredible coordination amongst the Etre Farms team. They seamlessly managed the schedule, ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time. From the beginning of the ceremony, to the grand entrance of the newly-weds, all the way until the last dance, they made sure every moment felt effortless and well coordinated. They have everything you need in-house, and I would suggest you take advantage of it. The DJ did such an amazing job - it was by far the best DJ performance at a wedding that we have ever seen. By utilizing all of the in-house services we could be as involved, or little-involved as we would like. That was such an advantage leading up to the wedding. In conclusion, I cannot say enough about Etre Farms. It is an exceptional wedding venue that excels in every aspect. If you're looking for a place that combines natural beauty, impeccable service, and attention to detail, then Etre Farms is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple seeking to create lasting memories of their special day.

Hands down the best venue experience EVER! Nicole, Mark, Morgan and the entire Etre team were the absolute best to work with! We decided to get married at Etre after looking at multiple venues and basically had our dream wedding crushed. We came across Etre Farms and completely fell in love with the vision Nicole and Mark created. They never disappointed at all! Everything we could have ever wanted and dreamed of they made sure it became a reality. From the small touches and details of the florals to the custom created menu, there was not a single detail missed, they literally thought of everything and ensured our entire wedding day went smoothly! The staff was hands down the best staff we have ever experienced at a wedding. ALL the food was to die for and our guests are still raving about how amazing it was from the appetizers, to the entres, and even the late night bites. They had the best selection for alcohol as well and even made our signature drinks for us.....our guests loved every detail. Most importantly we could have our furbaby with us the entire day, which was a major deal breaker for us! We could go on and on about how wonderful Etre is, but you will be making a huge mistake if you decide to get married anywhere else! Nicole, Mark, Morgan, and the entire Etre Farms team make you feel like family, and truly will make your wedding dream a reality! Thank you all for everything! We love you guys!

Looking for one gorgeous all-inclusive venue? Look no further than Etre! Nicole, Mark, and their entire team offer beauty, elegance, and customization at their wonderful wedding destination. The photos ARE accurate for this newly constructed event space. And, the flower arrangements were so lovely (designed by Nicole herself). The \"getting ready space\" was peaceful with plenty of space for hair, make-up, and snacks. We were able to have our ceremony, dinner, and reception all in the SAME place! Our custom dinner and personally-crafted cocktails were delicious! There are also multiple areas for guests to relax, including kids, during the reception and family photos. And, EVERY vendor recommended by Etre was really FANTASTIC to work with. Since most of our wedding guests were from out-of-town, travel/accommodations were very accessible. St. Joseph also offers wineries, lake front, and restaurants. We really are very lucky that we were able to celebrate our special day at the amazing Etre Farms!

Etre Farms was great to work with! Not only is the venue beautiful, Etre does almost everything which really helped our wedding day run smoothly. Etre helped with all of the food, alcohol, flowers, signage, decorations, timelines, floor plans, design, etc (as a result I didn't even need to hire a wedding planner). They did a great job working with me and helping me execute my vision. I received countless compliments from guests on how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was. They really did a great job thinking through all of the details. I also want to call out that our wedding was during Etre's first ever wedding season and they still did an amazing job on execution. I can't wait to see how they continue to improve as they go through even more weddings!

Are you looking for the perfect venue!? Tired of the same ol' wedding venue/food & beverage/\"cookie cutter proposal\" approach!? Look no further because Etre Farms is a wedding venue unlike anything else in the Midwest. The ownership and wedding planning team behind this venue have truly took a personal and customized approach to our hopes and dreams for the perfect wedding. They have been so AMAZING and easy to work with and have provided so much helpful insight not just to planning a wedding but also to the area surrounding this venue . We could tell by their \"all inclusive\" approach that they want to exceed expectations of not only us but our guests as well. The attention to detail from the venue to the wedding proposal all the way to the food & beverage they are providing is far superior than \"traditional\" wedding venues. We are lucky to not only have found such an amazing venue but to have found such an amazing team to partner up with to plan our perfect wedding with in May 2022!
