Beautiful Historic Estate

My husband and I got married at the Kellam Estate venue on October 9 and we highly recommend it to future brides and grooms! Working with Alex and Chelsea was wonderful from start to finish, they were quick to respond to emails and were on-site for our rehearsal and day-of to answer any questions or help. The space itself is very versatile and could be set up in many ways, but we used their back pasture for both our outdoor ceremony and tented reception. The stable and barn area were perfect for our cocktail hour. We have had so many positive comments on the venue and our other vendors truly enjoyed working here. Thanks again, Chelsea and Alex!
