Cozzi Acres is a super cute barn venue close to Robinson so perfect location as well. It is smaller though as we had about 100 guests total and when everyone was on the same level it did feel a bit tight. It is right up the street from Helicon Brewery which was perfect for rehearsal dinner night. The venue also has a farmhouse you can rent and a banquet hall which we used both. The owner Matt was very involved with the whole planning process and was very responsive. The issues we had were right before the wedding the week before and week of. The week before the wedding is when we stated we wanted an outdoor ceremony (which we said prior but it was not in contract as we signed before this was offered) so we did have to provide $400 more for that due to a listing of reasons. That wasn’t an issue but annoyance when we already paid how much for the venue and were only using their chairs for the reception but anyways… Then the week of the wedding the venue manager let us know we could only have DJ on until 10pm which we had reception until 11pm already in contract. It does state this about noise in contract which we should have reviewed in further detail but really the week of the wedding and they threw that at us so basically we had to switch our reception until 10pm two days before the wedding. The venue managers are onsite your whole wedding weekend which personally I did not feel like a guest at the property and felt like they were trying to micromanage us and our guests the whole weekend. Then when we received a letter with our security deposit (only half received back) was the icing on the cake when they nitpicked at so many small things just to take half of it. Personally this is what we went through as a couple, I loved the venue and accommodations overall but if I had to do it again would not work with venue from what we...
Read moreA friend got married here. In my opinion, the property manager (I assume - she was around all weekend) lingered around watching us and was extremely curt to us all weekend. In my opinion, they also nickel and dimed the bride and groom in their security deposit for having to clean the house we stayed in (as if we should have been a cleaning service on the way out), as well as for leaving a few rose petals after the ceremony (which were allowed). In my opinion, the lodging is VERY lacking. Ventilation is terrible, and I was sweating all weekend anytime I was indoors. So if it’s going to be above 65 degrees, putting on makeup is likely to be a challenge. Is it a cute venue? Sure. But for what you’re paying, I would recommend looking elsewhere unless you like stuffy, outdated lodging and to be hounded by staff for daring to have an enjoyable time.. for the wedding party that paid to be there for the weekend… to have a party. In my opinion, I believe the owners need to reevaluate why they rent their property out. My opinion is that this is a cash grab that is not...
Read moreWe just had our wedding here. As always weddings can be crazy to set up and deal with. We had very minor problems. Most were simple and because there are so many people trying to deal with putting their hand in the pot with the venue operators and I could feel their pain being the persons for most in charge. People don’t like rules and regulations that owners have to stand with these days. Come our wedding day they did so much to help us because we showed them respect of their property as if it was our own and honesty towards our worries. As the priority guests (Myself and my Wife) we were served drinks by the owner during pictures when we were away from the bar and made sure all of our wishes were fulfilled (BY THE OWNERS) I’m so happy we chose this venue. The day of the wedding they went above and beyond expectations. This is not a place to go have a party and bail this is a place to respect and help take care of. It will go a long way. Thank you for a big help in making our day as perfect...
