Handcrafted Perfection at Our Rustic Wedding Venues

“The Barn at New River is spectacular; all of my guests came up to me and commented how beautiful the venue, setting, and the barn were! The barn is elegant with chandeliers and the original wood look! The mountains are a perfect ceremony background to the outside arbor and fountain!! Paula has also done an awesome job with the gardens; the flowers were blooming, and she was very helpful!!”
