DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE—Unreliable and Unprofessional
If I could give this venue negative stars, I would. My sister booked The Stables back in September 2024, for her wedding on 12 April 2025, well in advance. Everything seemed fine until Ramona, who runs the venue, double-booked the date and gave it away to another couple who booked AFTER us.
Ramona claimed she had tried to contact my sister about final payments, but she was never able to provide any proof (voicemail, email, or text) of these attempts. Meanwhile, my sister and her fiancé reached out multiple times, and whenever they spoke with her, she assured them everything was still good to go. Our entire family even toured the venue just before Christmas, and at no point did she mention an issue.
Then, just a month and a half before the wedding, she suddenly told us we had to move the date because the other couple had paid in full.

Thankfully, we found a much better venue, The Barn, which has been nothing but accommodating, professional, and easy to work with. If you want a wedding venue that actually honors its commitments,...
