"Beyond our Expectations

The Homestead is the most amazing place! Having our wedding here was a dream come true. As soon as we drove up to the property I was in love and I knew we couldn't get married anywhere else. The team was so helpful the whole year leading up to the wedding and made everything easy and beautiful! ~Danielle

Stunning venue with incredible service

I booked The Homestead 1854 based on the reviews of the service and the location. The location was incredible.

Most Exemplary Venue

This is the most amazing venue for anything your heart desires! We stayed here the night before my daughter’s wedding and couldn't have been more satisfied with everything they helped us with until the day of the wedding!
