My journey to finding the perfect wedding venue led me to Eventful at Locust Grove, and it was there that I first realized I had stumbled upon something truly special. The heart and soul behind this enchanting venue is Christy Shafer, a professional who exudes warmth, kindness, and an incredible knack for making dream weddings come to life.Planning a wedding from Hawaii could have been daunting, but Christy made it a breeze. Her approachability and efficiency in answering our myriad of questions were remarkable. Not just Christy, but her entire family radiated hospitality, making the venue feel more like a warm, welcoming home than just a wedding location.The beauty of Eventful at Locust Grove is breathtaking, both inside and out. The charming farm, the lush trees, even in winter! and the picturesque garden created a serene and magical backdrop for our special day. It's a place where nature's beauty and meticulous care coalesce to create a truly idyllic setting.What made our experience with Christy even more memorable were the moments of laughter and the feeling of camaraderie we shared. It felt like we were working with a great friend, not just a venue manager. This personal touch and genuine care are what sets Christy and Eventful at Locust Grove apart.For anyone in search of a wedding venue that offers beauty, warmth, and an incredibly supportive team, I wholeheartedly recommend Eventful at Locust Grove. Christy Shafer is not just a venue manager; she is a dream maker, and our wedding was all the more beautiful because of her. Reviewed on 03-01-2024

Allison Tschannen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 Eventful at Locust Grove provided us with the perfect wedding day! I was very worried in the week leading up to the event, as the forecast predicted thunderstorms during the ceremony, which was meant to be outside. Christy kept in constant contact with me throughout the week and carefully explained the contingency plans in case it would actually rain.Because of the forecast, we decided mid-afternoon the day of that we would set up the ceremony in the reception hall, which Christy and her team made beautifully indoors. About 1 hour prior to the ceremony, the weather was holding up so we asked to change our plans AGAIN and move it back outside, and Christy and her team snapped into action and got everything ready for a wonderful outdoor ceremony. Eventful was incredibly accommodating and moved mountains (and lot of chairs!) to make our day very special.Christy was extremely responsive to my emails, calls, and text messages throughout the year; she is wonderful to work with and also very helpful when it comes to providing recommendations or advice about Weston and the surrounding area more generally.The venue itself is a dream--the gardens and outdoor area are very well-tended and the indoor reception hall has a rustic and vintage charm. Both spaces require very little additional decoration, which made our task of transforming the space for our wedding quite easy.The grounds provide a romantic backdrop for your photos for the big day! We married close to the peak of fall foliage season, and our pictures outdoors are incredible.Eventful went above and beyond and we could not be more pleased with the services they provided. Our day was pure magic and quite seamless, due in large part to Christy's management skills, ability to organize quickly, and flexibility to accommodate her brides and grooms.

When we booked Eventful, Christy had a folder full of recommendations from photographers to hotels! Eventful is so naturally beautiful, we really didn't have to decorate for the ceremony at all. The reception hall was easy to decorate because Christy had so many props and centerpiece items for us to borrow. We saved SO much without sacrificing anything. The house manager the day of made sure everything from the table napkins to the stairs were clean and tasteful. This team of professionals handled last minute mud puddles from the rain the night before, set up our guest quilt, Christy even carried my train while I walked to the garden! These are by far the kindest people we have met. They helped us create a beautiful memory. The venue is right off county road JJ, which is amazing because it's easy for guests to locate, and you can't wheat the traffic at all. The reception hall is so naturally beautiful and the colors are neutral so whatever your personal colors are will work great. The bar and bartenders were incredibly polite and looked professional and approachable. The garden was gorgeous! The lattice arch was one of my favorite things about the space. They also have an adorable bell my sister rang as we walked back down the aisle! They set up all the chairs and tables in the garden and reception hall. Basically, all we had to do was show up!!

We had looked at several venues in the area and were trying to be budget conscious. We were looking for a place we could have an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception all in one location. My husband and I love nature so we wanted to be surrounded by outdoor beauty, and Eventful delivered! Beautiful large trees with a perfect fall corn field behind provided the perfect backdrop to our vows! The beautiful garden surrounds you with flowers and perfectly placed decor. Oh yes and your aisle is led by a white picket fence and a sweet archway! The inside was the icing on the cake! It is rustic and beautiful! It feels like home when you walk into a large seating area with leather couches that is a perfect mix of a man and women's touch. Antiques provide beautiful touches and the lighting so perfect! Your guest will be served at the beautiful bar in glasses not plastic cups!! Turns out my DJ, Photographer, and Caterer had all done weddings here and ALL said it was in their top 3 favorites!!! The second we met Kate she was so sweet and genuine. She took her time with us and answered all our questions. I loved that she was not pushy which I cannot say for some of the other places we looked. Christy helped out so much and always responded to all my questions almost immediately! Both ladies were professional and at the same time treated us like family! We would HIGHLY recommend Eventful to any bride and groom looking for that perfect venue at the right price!!!!!

Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2014 Christy and Kate were an absolute pleasure to work with. So easy going, very helpful and insightful, and gave wonderful advice to help make our wedding absolutely perfect. I received many compliments from wedding guests on how beautiful this location is, both inside the venue and outside where the ceremony took place. Beautiful country setting with corn fields, lots of mature trees, and an old tobacco barn in the distance. The garden area reminded me of an old english garden and had a wide variety of flowers and plants that varied in many colors. The Antebellum style home attached to the property added some character and made for wonderful pictures. \r\rI couldn't have asked for a prettier/better venue for my wedding. No matter what season, this venue is beautiful and it's obvious that both Christy and Kate take great pride in their location. Reviewed on 24-10-2014
Jourdan Hardin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-10-2014 Our wedding was this past Saturday, October 18. A perfect day for a beautiful fall wedding. \r\rMy husband proposed a year ago, and I knew I wanted to get married in the fall. I also knew that Weston is beautiful in the fall so I googled event places in Weston. I found Eventful and knew it was perfect and it was confirmed when we took our first tour there.\r\rChristy and Kate are lovely, laid back people. Communication was great- my emails were responded to in a timely manner and I felt like I could ask them anything anytime. \r\rThe building and overall property is fantastic! If you are looking for a rustic, elegant space- this is it! I loved that I didn't really have to decorate the space, just the tables. There's so much charm and beauty in this building. And the ceremony space was perfect- secluded, away from the main road, next to a corn field, and some very pretty foliage. \r\rThe parking attendants and bartenders were great as well. Very polite and took great care of all our guests.\r\rWe had a great bar selection to choose from. At first I was a little disappointed we couldn't have mixed drinks, but the different bar packages are very accomodating and please a variety of palates. \r\rFrom our first visit to the last box we loaded up after the wedding, we felt very welcomed and taken care of. We received so many compliments on picking such a beautiful venue. We wanted a place that represented our wedding theme and somewhere people hadn't heard of before. Having that unique factor is a real treat when you're a bride!\r\rWe absolutely loved this place and all of the staff. Definitely worth every penny!!! Reviewed on 23-10-2014
Lynette Williams(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2014 Christy and Kate were fabulous to work with. They were wonderful and accommodating. They let you use some of their small decorations/antiques should you need them. They were easy to work with to find a bar package to fit our needs and give a list of vendors who previous brides have worked with. The outdoor ceremony area is beautiful and they have a lattice house in case of rainy weather. The venue has more of a rustic/country feel to it but we had our \"beach\" themed wedding/reception there with no problems. The one down side is their house manager. She didn't want us to use the food warmer because it was going to make the kitchen area too hot but our food needed to be kept warm. There was an electrical issue with the bridal suite but Christy and Kate got someone there right away to try to figure out what the problem was. Reviewed on 24-09-2014
Chelsea Mossman(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-07-2014 When I saw the pictures on Eventful's website I knew I would fall in love with this venue! I was definitely correct. \r\rThe outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous with a corn field background. Beautiful vintage window frames were the perfect spot as a background for our ceremony. White picket fences and white church pews were a beautiful addition to the site. There was even an outdoor shelter that would have been very useful to help me still have an outdoor ceremony in the event of rain. \r\rNow the reception space. One word: GORGEOUS!!! The dark wood bar is such a statement piece. Amazing old painted doors were a wonderful setting for our sweetheart table. I really loved the burlap wall!! I hardly had to decorate because the space had so much character that fit so well into my vintage vision. \r\rChristy was such a joy to work with and was always able to answer my questions! Shw helped me plan a beautiful wedding in just three months. I loved this space and it was so worth the cost. It was everything I imagined for our best day ever! Reviewed on 23-09-2014
Whitney Hardin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2013 Getting married is the greatest, but yet somehow most stressful time of your life. Christy and Kate did an incredible job making this less stressful for me and my husband. The venue is so beautiful and very rustic, perfect for those country or rustic themed weddings. It was beautifully decorated, so we didn't have to do too much on our part. Christy and Kate helped us with everything that they could help us with. And I felt like they were more of friends than business acquaintances. Beautiful venue, great service, friendly owners, it was definitely pure wedding bliss. And I couldn't have been more thankful for such a lovely pair of ladies to host my wedding!! :) Reviewed on 23-09-2014
Kendra Kissinger(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2014 Christy and Kate are fantastic and their venue is beautiful. They were so helpful throughout the entire process and even let us use some of the antique items that they have in a storeroom from their antique business. Our guests raved on and on about how beautiful both the hall and gardens are. Very reasonably priced in a gorgeous setting. We could not have found a more perfect place! Reviewed on 23-09-2014

Molly Stanko(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-05-2014 I fell in love with this venue from our 1st visit, the rustic outdoor cememony was perfect and the shabby chic inside reception space was beautiful and needed minimal decor. My only wish was that we had more time (12 hrs just wasn't enough) and that we would have been able to have our rehearsal the night before but due to another wedding that was booked on friday and ours was on saturday, we had to have the rehearsal on thursday evening. Minor inconvenience for having our perfect venue! The staff is great, you can tell they really care and want to make your day as special as possible. Reviewed on 23-05-2014
Ali Zuk(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-11-2013 We had a beautiful fall wedding outdoors at Eventful with our reception indoors. The scenery is perfect for a rustic feel. I also felt we were getting better quality and much more for our money when we compared Eventful to other rustic places in Weston. To top it off, Christy and her mother are wonderful to work with.
