I am a local wedding planner and we had the privilege of working at Sixty Acres recently. Connie and Cowboy (and the whole staff) were so welcoming, accommodating, and on-top of everything. Throughout both the planning process and on the day of the wedding, they were very attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond. Their venue is beautiful, clean, unique and comes with a lot of necessities AND added character pieces. From a vendor standpoint, we truly enjoyed working there and will definitely be recommending future brides there. Reviewed on 20-10-2023

Let me tell you just how amazing Connie and Cowboy are over at Sixty Acres. From the moment we pulled up to view the venue, we knew thats where we wanted to have our wedding! Connie is so sweet, and super organized. Cowboy is down to earth, and ready to get things done! The venue is absolutely gorgeous. If you're looking for a spot where alllllll of your pictures will look stunning, this is the place! The wood in the barn, the greenery around the ceremony arch, the cute pond in the background, this place has it all. If we were to plan our wedding all over, I would choose Sixty Acres Farm again and again. I cannot say enough good things about the farm, Connie, and Cowboy! Reviewed on 17-10-2023

Upon finding this venue, I immediately fell in love. The venue was gorgeous online but I was in complete awe when I saw it in person. The venue owners, Cowboy & Connie, were nothing but helpful the entire time since the day I signed my contract from answering any and all questions/phone calls, helping with vendors, setting up anything needed on wedding day, cleaning up after the wedding was over, and so so much more. They made the day way less stressful by helping me with anything I needed and were always asking how they could be of assistance. The farm scenery was so welcoming and made for beautiful pictures all day long. My guest loved that no matter where they went, it made for fantastic pictures. Unfortunately, my wedding day came with some rain, however this was no issue at all, we just moved everything inside the barn and it was just as beautiful. My guest had nothing but compliments the entire day and loved that the barn offered a special comfort and warmth. I couldn’t be more happy with my decision to have my wedding here and I hope others that choose the venue are just as satisfied! Reviewed on 11-09-2023

All of my requests were met, even if I decided to change my mind the day of! Very accommodating. The venue is beautiful, at night the barn and arch way to the water is lit up, a wonderful place for pictures. The owner kept in touch with me throughout the 10 months of planning. Answered all my questions and even gave suggestions. In the incident of rain, she helped my stress and aided me with a backup plan (thankfully we didn't need it!) The facility has everything you may need from, decorations, bridal and groomsman suites, outdoor and indoor seating as well as dance floor. A bar, food warmer & ice machine.

We have owned a catering business for 15 years and have catered many weddings. After purchasing our 60 acre farm it became our dream to build our own Venue and do what we love without leaving the farm. We own several other businesses and are looking forward to slowing down after raising 5 children and now having 6 grandchildren. I can't think of a better way to slow down and enjoy our farm and still have time to enjoy our family than to own and operate our venue.
