The branches of this tree provide ample shade for your guests while they watch you exchange vows beneath a majestic canopy. The 400-square foot barn is Sugarland’s indoor location with an open-air feel.

Most Amazing Venue

I just got married here two weeks ago and it was absolutely everything I could have ever dreamt of.
Nancy, who is the coordinator there, is extremely friendly and helpful and always interested in creating a beautiful day for you. We took the option to rent out the venue for the weekend as there is also housing on site and it was the most perfect weekend. We absolutely loved our experience with Sugarland. The food was delicious and they took care of our desserts as well which were personalized to a request of mine and turned out perfectly.
Will always hold a special place in my heart for that weekend, that location, and the memories.

Everything you could ask for in one place!

We used Sugarland for our wedding reception summer of 2021 (the weather was stormy but cleared up and cooled the temp down so it was perfect temperature even though it was August). The venue is gorgeous and the food was very tasty! It was so convenient for the wedding party to be able to stay in the houses across the street. I highly recommend choosing this for your wedding! Nancy and her staff were wonderful to work with and incredibly they were able to make all the food garlic-free for me (I'm allergic)! She also was able to procure many specific beers and liquors for us!

A comment things going in that I wish I would have known earlier: 1) when you meet with Nancy, be sure that all the details that you discuss is on the quote. There was a minor snafu but she was able to work it out in the moment and I (the bride) didn't know there was an issue to begin with! In hindsight, I should have mentioned that the detail was missing from the quote but I had assumed that she remembered even though she has so many weddings to deal with. 2) They do allow fireworks which was awesome! Be sure that Nancy has added to the contract that they will set them off for you. Day of, the person she said would do it, didn't want to so we had to scramble to find someone to light them off. Thankfully her bar staff came to the rescue!

Overall this place was wonderful in every way possible! A little more organizing/planning better and the event would have been 100% perfect!

PS the sound in the barn is tricky - the people off to the sides of the barn and outside couldn't hear announcements well. You may want to give your DJ a heads up.

Gorgeous Venue

I can't stress enough how absolutely beautiful this venue was, the grounds are well-maintained, the barn was perfect and had character (not rustic-chic like some barns), the house/cottage matched the theme and were clean. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a barn venue that does it all. We got so many compliments on the venue, it was breathtaking. Nancy was wonderful to work with, super accommodating and understanding of any issues that popped up. They offer to move the ceremony into the barn too in case of inclement weather. The only small catch is that Old Feed Mill is the exclusive caterer of this venue; the food was amazing though and I would recommend them as well for catering, I just thought it'd be worth mentioning for couples who are looking to bring in a caterer/food. Nancy takes care of everything you need and is just the sweetest. I just can't get over how picturesque this venue is. Our wedding party & some guests stayed in the house and cottage and many made the comment that they'd love to just rent those for a week/weekend to get away and enjoy the serenity and views. Note - cost estimate provided with this review is for the grounds/facilities only, not the catering which is more.
