I can't say enough about how great our experience was here for our wedding! Sarah and the other staff were so helpful and communicative leading up to the day, and everything went smoothly for us and our guests. The venue is lovely, and the big attraction for us was the freedom we had to bring in our own caterer, design the ceremony in our own style, and make the whole day feel like us! We couldn't believe how so many venues nickel and dime you for every little thing, and force you to use their list of pricy vendors. District 5 Schoolhouse gives you the freedom to do your own thing, which is certainly helpful when working with a budget. But they can definitely provide guidance and advice for first time wedding planners like us too - Sarah helped us figure some things out we hadn't even thought of. Another huge plus is their decor closet - table runners and signs and vases and stuff like that you're allowed to use that can save you hundreds of dollars! All I can say is that this beautiful location is a great value run by kind and thoughtful people who will work with you to have an event that fits your budget and needs. Highly recommended! read more

Beautiful space and great owners! Sarah was so helpful to work with and very genuine. Of all the venues we toured and owners we spoke with, Sarah stood out for understanding what her business is about and what it means for couples. She was so easy to work with and made the whole process smooth. The chalkboards were so fun to decorate and really added to our decorations. The space was well cared for and maintained. The bell tower was a great spot to take pictures, but brace yourself for a climb! We especially appreciated the Pay it Forward decoration closet. There were so many decoration options and themes to choose from! It was a real help for us to have on hand so we could limit how many decorations we purchased/rented. We loved getting married here and would recommend it to anyone! read more

My son and daughter in-law were just married 9-20-24. It was nothing short of amazing. Sarah and her staff made everything very smooth and easy. We never worried about anything. We highly recommend having any events in your future here. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Sarah read more

This was an AMAZING wedding venue! Sarah and her staff were friendly and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The bride and groom's rooms were amazing. Sarah had somebody there to help us out all day. She helped run the rehearsal dinner and served as a wedding coordinator on the day of the wedding. She has a vendor list that was super helpful. I cannot say enough great things about this venue. You should book it! You won't be disappointed! read more

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue! Sarah and her team were so easy to work with and extremely helpful with everything! The venue was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The pay it forward closet was amazing! read more

Such a beautiful venue for a wedding reception! There was indoor and outdoor space for guests to hang out. The bride went out onto the deck and threw her bouquet to the group below, such a fun way to do the bouquet toss!! The wedding I attended was large and for the dance floor to be used the head table and the 4 front tables had to be removed, leaving us without a table of our own. This was a little weird, but really not a big deal as we spent most of the time dancing or hanging out outside. I would love to come back sometime and take pictures under all of the arches they have set up! read more

I cannot say enough good things about District 5 Schoolhouse! My husband and I got married here last weekend and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more! Every inch of the schoolhouse is full of original character and charm which made not only my husband and I fall in love with the building, but our guests as well. Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with and both her and her interns went above and beyond to make every detail of our day was perfect. The "pay it forward" closet is one of the many wonderful features of the schoolhouse that helped make planning a breeze. Thanks to many generous brides/grooms, we barely had to buy any decorations for our wedding because the closet is filled with TONS of beautiful decorations to use. There are so many wonderful amenities that come with the venue which made it hands down the best value in the area. I could go on forever about how amazing this place is and I highly recommend checking it out!! read more

My wife and I are so happy that we booked District 5 Schoolhouse as our venue. It was definitely one of the best choices we made during the engagement (the best being deciding to get married to one another). Don't overlook this hidden gem. Although the venue itself is fantastic, the best thing about this venue is actually the venue's owner, Sarah. She is incredibly nice and she really wants to get every detail of your wedding perfect. She is willing to spend a lot of time making your event magical. She also provided a lot of insight to my wife and I, we found her advice very useful. Sarah is very organized and even gives you a blueprint and timeline of your event just to make sure that no detail is overlooked. She is both reasonable and flexible. Sarah also puts your needs first and if there is any way that she can accommodate your request, she is more than happy to do so. Personally, we had a couple unusual requests for Sarah, but she was able to fulfill our needs perfectly. She will also respond to your needs quickly (especially anything that comes up on the wedding day) and she takes care of so many small things that might have otherwise been overlooked. She takes so much stress off of the engaged couple and planning the wedding would have been a lot harder without her. We had a fantastic experience with Sarah and we really loved getting to know her over our engagement. If I had looked into 200 more venues before deciding on District 5 Schoolhouse, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Sarah would still be the person that I would most want to do business with. District 5 Schoolhouse is also all-inclusive, so you save a ton of money on decorations. We were surprised at a lot of the things that were part of the package, like firewood for the firepit nearby and the yard games for cocktail hour. The venue also takes care of all of the setup work for everything and you get the venue to yourself (some venues give you a single room and you share common areas). It was also nice that we didn't have to worry about excessive rules and red tape that you may get at some other venues, just a few common sense things like no open flames in the building (it is historical). There is plenty of parking as well. One of the nicest features is also the bridal and groomsmen lounges. These are extra spacious rooms for you to get ready in the morning. Both are themed appropriately and the bridal lounge has a bunch of chairs and mirrors for prep work (similar to a beauty salon). This was absolutely amazing. If you want to book a venue based on value, look no further than District 5 Schoolhouse because the rates are very reasonable and Sarah still does not skimp out on amenities. It would be hard to find more value from a commercial venue. This venue is very charming and I would say it is the perfect size for small or medium size weddings (up to 100 people). The venue would still work and you would still have a fantastic time with guest counts from 100 to 200 though. You are missing out if you don't at least give this venue a tour. They are free and you might just find a venue that you will fall in love with (like we did). read more

Amazing venue! We loved all the great history posted. Such fun decorations and games available. HIGHLY recommend for any of your venue needs. read more

Sarah was awesome to work with! She was very flexible, accommodating, and encouraging. District 5 Schoolhouse was the perfect venue for us. It's charming, intimate, unique, and allows for so much personalization. We brought in qdoba, yesterday, sprinkles donuts, and founders ipa....to have that freedom and flexibility made for some very happy guests! Shout out to her interns as well! They helped seamlessly from start to finish. And my favorite was the pay it forward room that allows brides (and grooms) to use goodies/decorations from previous weddings. I LOVE this concept and it really helped us keep things simple for the day of. read more

My husband and I were recently married, and it was made all the more special with our reception at the District 5 Schoolhouse. This space was perfect for us, and Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our special day ran as smoothly as possible. This space has so much charm and we were able to bring our own creative touches to it. We were able to have dancing, yard games, and a space for people to be able to talk an enjoy each others' company. I highly recommend having your wedding reception here!! read more
