Ammie was amazing to work with and the venue is beautiful! They have the option to have your ceremony/reception inside or outside! The bridal suites are cute and cozy. I loved my wedding here and would definitely recommend it to anyone else as well.

Mother of bride

Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING was exactly how I had hoped our daughter’s reception would happen. Aimee guided us and shared anything we needed from refrigerator storage to decorations galore! Tables and chairs were set up and taken down after it was over without me having to worry about it. I had access before the wedding and quick responses to my questions happened immediately. This was our last daughter to be married so I won’t be doing this again but to all of the mothers out there- if you want a beautiful place to have a reception, then Backwoods Venue 222 is the place!
