Awesome place! Great for medium to small weddings! Katrina and her team were super helpful and went above and beyond for my wedding. I only had my ceremony here. I hardly had to do any decorating since my area was so beautiful in October. I 10/10 would definitely do it again here!

Bailie! You are AMAZING! Being from out of town and planning a wedding states and miles away can be stressful. However, it was flawless thanks to Bailie. It was absolutely magical. Bailie came up with numerous options just in case weather was an issue, stayed in contact of plans/ideas. Shaw is the perfect place for a wedding. It was just perfect especially if you are nature lovers.Bailie, you are the master coordinator of an event of a lifetime (quote Gavin) haha Thank you again for everything.
