Here, we met Barak O'Llama, Sir Llama-lot, Drama Llama, Bahama Llama, and the Dalhi Llama. They have an indoor, air-conditioned llama play room, where the llamas carry out their hierarchy and spend their time staring in the mirror. They have a whole llama show where they teach a llama class. It's super fun! If you ever need a llama themed wedding, this is a great place to do it. Out in front of Castle Waterford, be sure to check out their art- a metal chariot, the Loch Ness Monster, and other weird stuff. It's a beautiful venue that's such a fun place to hang out at! The only draw back was that the only restroom out here was a port-a-potty. Not very regal.

I have been wanting to check out Honey Locust Farms for a while. Since it was such a nice day, I…read moreventured out to grab a coffee and check out their nursery. Upon entering their cafe/ gift shop, I noticed they had a Stranger Things Theme. There were a few families that were enjoying the large sitting area with couches, tables and table games. They really spent a long time crafting this theme and I really enjoyed all of the themed touches. I ordered a "Plain Jane" ice coffee which was delicious. You could see small pieces of graham cracker that added a good flavor. They had some baked goods available in addition to soda. They also offered a coffee flight which is something I would order if I was spending time with friends. There was one barista which did a great job keeping up with orders and communicating with customers. Next, I ventured out to check out their event space. They had an indoor event space with a shaded outdoor space right next to it with a bar area as well. After checking out the event space I looked at their flower, herbs and small cactuses outside the cafe. They had a small selection but good quality plants for a modest price. I also checked out their selection of pots and various plants outside the event space in additional to looking at their selection of trees and shrubs. Honey Locust would be a place I'd come to get coffee with friends as well as watch for any events they might have with the community. The theming they do in the coffee shop is fun and definitely worth coming to check out with your friends or family. All age levels would enjoy time here.

If I could give this venue 0 stars I would. The day of rehearsals for the wedding party, the…read morevenue's manager changed the time that was agreed upon 6 months before hand. This resulted in half of the wedding party not being able to make it in time and on top of that the entire time of rehearsals one of the venue employees (Kelcey) was following the bride around repeating "you'll need to leave soon" "it's almost time to leave" "make sure to finish in time" making it even harder for everyone to get through rehearsals. We were not allowed to bring outside alcohol in which was understandable but the bartenders that were provided were super rude and seemed like they didn't even have basic classic cocktail knowledge. The bride and groom purchased a five thousand dollar bar tab for an open bar for everyone, the bartenders started charging after an hour an a half of serving! For 30 minutes of that time the ceremony was going on so no one was inside and the when we were inside they had time to stand around and stare at everyone, so it was seemed highly unlikely that the tab had already been ran up. At the end of the night the venue staff told the wedding party we needed to make sure that all of the trash was taken out and taken all the to the dumpster. Any other venue that I've been to or rented out that task is definitely the venue's responsibility. This venue made it absolutely impossible for the bride and groom to relax and enjoy their time. The employees kept telling the parents of the newly wed couple about more things we needed to do or not allowed to do, it seemed like they were making up rules or standards as the night went on. Weddings can be such stressful times and this venue staff only added to the stress. Super disappointed because the building itself was beautiful.
