I have been working with Mark and Karen since the idea of building a venue for weddings came to mind. They had hosted a few tented weddings for friends in the past few years and each were rained out. They then envisioned an enclosed venue with heat and air conditioning, that would be timeless. Once they constructed the barn style venue, their imagination ran wild. They created elegance with rustic and time worn details. They put their heart into every detail with the vision of everlasting marriages and memories. The venue allows for you to create and design your vision or have a planner that will make your event stress free and create memories of a lifetime.

This venue is seriously perfect. There is plenty of open-space (both inside and outside), and overall just a gorgeous piece of property. The barn has an elegant-rustic feel, but is so easy to customize into anything you want your event to feel like. Mark and Karen have put their trust into Jodi, and she makes it super easy when ready to rent the property. This is truly an unforgettable venue!

This location is wonderful for a wedding. My first venue was double booked and Smokey Hollow came to the rescue and Jodie from Barefoot Bride is amazing! Her and her team get everything done and moving smoothly on your big day!!

What a wonderful day and wonderful venue. I could not have asked for a better way to celebrate my daughters wedding day. The venue was beautiful and the owner and staff were wonderful. I felt like family. Danielle the representative of the venue was over the top super!!! I now have another daughter! There was nothing she couldn’t or wouldn’t do to make our wedding PERFECT! There were COVID rules to be followed and they were done. Thinking it would be a stressful day and it was of course being the mother of the bride, but looking over at Danielle I felt a calming come over me because she had my back, and was attentive to anyone’s needs. I highly recommend this venue!!!!

October 2, 2020 was the best day of my life. Smokey Hollow Venue was a hidden surprise that I had no idea even existed. It was the first venue we toured and it was all I needed. The Barn was the perfect location to hold our wedding. The staff was so professional and accommodating. And having access to the entire property for pictures was an added bonus. The property is secluded, yet accessible and serves as the perfect ambiance for any special event.

Danielle and Dennis went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our day as perfect as can be. From the decorating, to communicating with vendors, to organizing every part of the day, it was absolutely perfect. Even during a pandemic, it was better than we could have ever imagined and we had our dream wedding! HIGHLY recommend this venue and Danielle and Dennis for everything. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Having our wedding at Smokey Hollow was an incredible experience, one that we'll cherish forever. Danielle and Angie Unkart created a gorgeous floorplan and made my dreams come true despite having to adjust to Covid guidelines 😅 Danielle was extremely engaged throughout the planning process and was super helpful when it came to licensing and insurance items. I planned my wedding from North Carolina and had only seen the venue once in the winter, so I didn't know what to expect, but when I showed up the day before for the rehearsal, I was in awe of how beautiful and green the entire venue was. The greenhouse was the perfect backdrop for pictures and was where I had my first look with my dad. We had our first look behind the mansion and the pictures look stunning. The venue itself was incredibly accessible to all of my guests and vendors. My dad primarily uses a wheelchair or walker and he was able to make his was around the place with ease! I can't recommend Smokey Hollow enough. I experienced the best day of my life there and couldn't imagine a way that could've made it better. Thank you again to Danielle for helping make it all come together!! <3
