Everything we could have asked for!
Hannah and her team at Vanderwende Acres were wonderful, and absolutely everything my husband and I could have asked for in a vendor for our wedding!
I actually fell in love with Vanderwende Acres years before we got married. Brian and I got engaged in 2020 right before the pandemic and VA was the first venue we visited as a contender for our wedding location. I fell in love with the property immediately, and the staff were so personable and knowledgable. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding for 3 years due to the pandemic and personal reasons. During that time, we mulled through several other options for our wedding, including going out of state and eloping, but I told Brian I wanted a second look at VA before we made a decision and I knew that very moment we came back that we were going to get married there!
The venue has absolutely everything you need, all in one location - beautiful and spacious groom and bridal suites, plenty of parking space, clean indoor bathrooms, a gorgeous ceremony space, reception pavilion with a good back-up plan for inclement weather, all your chairs, tables, and the venue is so beautiful itself you don't need a lot of decor to make it look amazing!
Hannah was very responsive through the whole wedding planning process, responded to my dozens of emails quickly and kindly, and was extremely knowledgable about the venue and preferred vendors. Not only that, but she was there to help with anything and everything we needed on wedding day, including placing decor, helping with timelines, and grabbing snacks or a drink for us if we needed it!
We would recommend Vanderwende Acres to absolutely anyone!

The Perfect Venue
Wow. There aren't enough words to describe how perfect our wedding day was. The venue was prepared, beautiful, and worked with all of our ideas. Hannah was an angel and was willing to help whenever needed, with whatever project we asked. Her communication from months out up to the last few days was always super quick and helpful! She always had a smile, and checked on all of the bridal party, parents, and bride and groom whenever in passing. She really made the day 10 times better! 100% recommend Vanderwendes and Hannah!
