Working with Tiger Pointe was one of the easiest choices we made for our wedding. Kendra is the sweetest woman and helped so much with making sure everything went perfect. She responded to emails quickly even when they were the randomest questions. They didn’t require any “chosen” vendors and that made planning even more easier. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the space provided for the groom and bride is spacious and offers sweet amenities. I would recommend this venues to anyone. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our venue was. I would easily pick this venue again and again.

Amazing, photogenic and the vibe here is relaxed, be who you are, have fun and celebrate life. Gaze up the 30’ ceiling and chandeliers on the barn built in 1947. Stay, relax and get prepared in your own bridal suite in the three bedroom farmhouse as the gentlemen get ready in their separate groomsmen quarters. A very unique features of the barn is the second floor overlooking the head table for a gallery type feel. Outside is the flower garden with pergola where outdoor wedding take place. Then capping the evening relaxing by the gas firepit watching the sunset. With the barn comes the recently remodeled, three bedroom farmhouse originally constructed in the 1890’s. One amazing aspect for the wedding package is it’s a standard three day booking. Families arrive on Friday and check out on Sunday. This gives them time to relax and take the whole experience in. Plus the time is spent making their wedding their own. This is the place for imagination and creativity to really shine.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Englebrecht Farm last September and had to change many details last minute due to the pandemic. Chris was extremely flexible and understanding of our situation. He helped us safely plan our dream wedding and made sure everything went perfect for us. The barn is original, rustic and absolutely beautiful. You can really make it fit your vision with your decorations, lights, etc. You get access to the barn and farmhouse for the entire weekend of your wedding which takes out a lot of the stress and time constraints that usually occur. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the people who run it! If your looking for a rustic wedding venue in the area that is just down the road from a brand new hotel and several local businesses for your guests to enjoy, I highly recommend Englebrecht Farm!
