We've had the chance to photograph several weddings at Wildwood Barn and Cottage now, and it's one of those venues we genuinely look forward to going back to. Nate and Tifany are wonderful to work with. They care about their couples and it shows. This isn't a wedding mill trying to crank out five events a week. They take real care to make every celebration feel special, and that energy carries through the whole experience. As a photographer, the property gives me so many options. The cottage, the barn, the trails, the ceremony site, the tent, the groom's space. I never feel like I'm running out of backdrops or scrambling for good light. One thing I really love is the outdoor ceremony site. The tree canopy overhead means your guests aren't getting blasted by the sun as it drops in the sky. From a photography standpoint, it's ideal. Soft, even light right when it matters most. Having the house on the property is a huge bonus too. The wedding party has a beautiful space to get ready, and having extra gathering areas for guests makes the whole weekend feel relaxed and versatile. Couples who book here aren't just renting a venue. They're settling in for the weekend, and that comfort level makes a real difference. Can't wait to be back.

We got married at Wildwood this past September and can’t speak highly enough about our experience working with Nate and Tifany. This was the only venue we toured and we booked it right away because it hit all of our wants. It’s a place that needs minimal decor as it is naturally beautiful but an easy to customize space as well. We only booked their preferred vendors and had a great experience with everyone. Guests also loved the flow of the space, especially the barn bar!

We got married here in May, and we can't say enough good things about this place! This is the only wedding venue we toured, and we knew it was the one right away. Wildwood is stunning and the price is very reasonable for all that's included. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue is. Nate and Tifany are so accommodating and easy to work with. They made sure we had everything we needed for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and it all ran seamlessly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a rustic wedding venue!

We got married here last June and the venue has such a magical, outdoorsy, romantic energy. We loved it so much. Getting ready in the bridal cottage felt like getting ready at my own grandma's house in the sweetest way, the outdoor space was beautiful and so welcoming, and the owners are a dream to work with. Tifany did my makeup and not only made me look amazing but brought such a calm and bright energy to the day (our photographer even snapped a pic of us! :) ). When it started storming around 9 p.m., Nate knew exactly what we needed and helped make sure the party could keep going asap! Our guests still comment about how much they loved exploring the space. One of the best decisions we made while wedding planning was booking Wildwood as our venue.

Wildwood was wonderful! From the first day we went to look at the venue, we instantly fell in love with the space and loved how everything could be held outside, from the ceremony, to dancing. The venue is absolutely beautiful and we got so many comments about it. The owners were so helpful in answering all of my questions, on top of communication, helpful in coordinating and communicating with our vendors when they arrived, and even in setting up the day of. Nate and Tifany were absolutely lovely to work with and we could not have been more happy with our wedding day at their venue. Their property is absolutely stunning for photos and we highly recommend Wildwood Barn & Cottage!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!!! ❤️
