From Julia & Nils:
“Agate Acres is an absolutely wonderful location for a wedding! The property hosts a magical red barn, beautiful river, and the most gorgeous flowers we have ever seen. Owners, Emily and Kyle are wonderful to work with and made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Even if you don't need a location for an upcoming event or wedding, be sure to swing by the farm stand to grab delicious veggies or a bouquet of locally grown flowers.”

From Joe & Kai
“Having our wedding at Agate Acres was like an ethereal dream. Kyle and Emily were fantastic from start to finish, we literally couldn't have done it without their help. They supported us every step of the way and made our dream wedding a reality. Bask in the blooming flowers in surrounding fields, take in the rustic charm of the century-old buildings, or find a moment of serenity on their section of river. Agate Acres will forever be a special place for us and we will always be connected to that place. We fully endorse Agate Acres Farm as the ideal venue for any wedding or special event."

This ever present beauty, coupled with Emily and Kyle’s hard work and care in the visioning and planning process, created a strong foundation for our wedding to be the fun and fulfilling day we desired. Everyone at the event was smiling wide - a wonderful day enjoyed by many, thanks to Agate Acres!”

From Amber & Gabriel
“First and foremost, we are so happy we chose Agate Acres for our wedding venue. It offered a variety of spaces that fit perfectly with our needs… We also had accessibility questions, and Agate Acres was more than accommodating with the restrooms and transporting guests to where the ceremony was taking place. They made great local vendor recommendations and we were thrilled to order flowers grown on the property for the event. The day of, Emily, Kyle and their staff were responsive and helpful. Our guests raved at the beautiful location. The tractor ride throughout the property was an absolute hit and the cherry on top of an already amazing day. Thank you Emily and Kyle for memories that we'll cherish forever.”
