The Meadowood was the perfect destination for our wedding! This venue is beautiful for indoor or outdoor weddings! The barn is gorgeous and doesn’t require a lot of decorations (decorating for a wedding can be expensive). Also, the venue has decorations that you can use as well! We also rented out the cabin that is on the property which was very nice for the wedding party to use the night before and after the wedding! The staff at The Meadowood was also amazing and very helpful! I would highly recommend this venue!
