Stop looking for wedding venues!…read more This is the place. I can NOT say enough good things about Danielle and her staff at The Duncan Estate. Here's my experience: I got married Dec 1st, 2018. I wanted a Christmas themed wedding. It poured rain the day I got married. Literal buckets and buckets! But because of the affordable price of the venue I was able to rent heaters and sides for the tent that was already provided. The last thing a bride wants is rain on her wedding day although they say it's good luck. Danielle and her staff busted tail with my wedding planner to make sure everything was magical. The rain didn't affect any of the intimate moments we wanted of our day. I swear that this is because of Danielle's organization and coordination with my planner. Rehearsal dinner issue: I had a lot of trouble with the first few venues we chose to do the rehearsal dinner at. Communication was not a priority to them and I was really struggling. Luckily Danielle was there. I contacted her in a frenzy 2 weeks prior to our event (don't wait that late!). She not only handled our wedding, but we got to have our rehearsal dinner there too. Which made it so nice to not have to change scenery with so many people. We had it catered right there on the property after our rehearsal. It made things so easy on us. I recommend asking if you can cater the rehearsal here as well if it's an option. It was very affordable and also allowed us to feel better about the big day. COMMUNICATION: Of course I had no idea what I was doing when I showed up to look at the Duncan Estate, but from the time we signed our agreement to even the week after, Danielle was there. She sent me so many resources to help me budget, plan, even questions and things I had not thought of. She answered all of my emails in a timely manner and communicated with me often. This is so CRUCIAL when you are looking for a venue. FINANCIALLY: Trying to save money? Of course you are. Weddings are costly. The Duncan Estate was so affordable! Includes table, chairs and a tent in your price! She also gives discounts for different weekends depending on supply and demand. I think this is important to know because this helped us afford sides and a heater for the tent. She was very considerate of us having to rent these for a December wedding. THE LOOK: But I want my wedding to look phenomenal! Of course you do and since Danielle cares about all those details she has dedicated so much time and effort to preserving the Duncan Estate and also to making sure your details are the way you want them. Danielle spent a lot of time answering my questions and going over the events of my day. She spent 2 hours with me, the groom, and the coordinator combing through every detail a couple of weeks prior. It made the day of events move as smooth as they could. I can't imagine not having someone so organized with all the rain delays and junk we had with the weather on our wedding day. The bottom line is you can't control outside circumstances like the weather or companies with bad communication. But you can control who you choose to handle your special day. Choose the Duncan Estate. I promise Danielle will make sure your wedding is everything you want and more.

The venue team was fantastic with communication and super helpful in guiding us on where to park and unload. They have a designated vendor parking spot, which made unloading a breeze--a huge plus! Trash disposal was also quick and easy--we simply tied up the bags and placed them in the designated spot behind the building. Parking during the event was smooth with no issues at all. Most importantly, the venue staff were beyond kind and helpful, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable! And a special shoutout to Laura, the owner--she is the absolute sweetest! We can't wait to cater again at The Barn at Poplar Springs soon.

Prior to booking, the owner, Ren, was very accommodating to my smaller wedding plans and charged me…read morea per hour rate to include (and I have in writing) 10 farm tables, 100 guest chairs, cake, gift, and sign-in tables, bridal suite and groom's quarters. I booked online but the invoice was for $50 more than I was quoted. I questioned it and never got an answer from the owner but I didn't argue it for all that I was getting. I scheduled two walkthroughs before the wedding and the above inclusion was also verbal from the owner at my first walkthrough. At the second walkthrough, I was met by Breanna who was so very nice. She was very helpful and said that she would be around the day of my wedding to help with any needs I may have. I let her know that we would need one tall cocktail table for the DJ equipment. Sarah, the Administrative Assistant, followed up with me in an email about my need and I just confirmed that I would need this one table. The week of the wedding came and they realized they didn't have me sign the contract for the wedding. I reviewed the contract and signed it. A smoking section was mentioned and I asked where it was located - Sarah responded in email that the smoking area was the gazebo. All was set for the wedding day. On the wedding day, I arrived at 2:30. My allotted time was 3-8 but I had verbal permission from the owner to arrive at 2:30 to begin setting up. We were not greeted by or have any staff present to help with a need we may have had as Breanna had told me at my second walkthrough. At 2:51, I arrived at the bridal suite where I heard others upstairs. Understanding I had the facility at 3:00, I announced my arrival and the hairstylist upstairs said she was doing bridal hair for a bridal portrait and asked me to give them 30 minutes. I proceeded to take our stuff upstairs with their permission. There was no urgency on their part and I never gained access to the bridal makeup counter or area until after 3:30 and my wedding was at 4:00. My mom had to change in the bathroom as did others. We used the small rectangle table to the right of the stairs. Our photos were not clean because of all the clutter with limited space sharing with another bride. We rushed to get ready in 15 minutes ... to include dressing myself, my mom and a jr. bridesmaid (hair included.) Unknowingly to me, my husband and his father entered the groom's quarters and found a huge mess in the facility. My husband had to spend time gathering all the trash in the room from the wedding the night before and pile it up against the wall before photos could be taken with his dad. As mentioned above, the DJ needed one tall table that was requested more than a week prior to the wedding. I emailed Sarah at 3:14 the day of the wedding requesting this table. It showed up minutes before the wedding started and the DJ had already found something upstairs to accommodate the immediate need. After the wedding, the family proceeded to the gazebo to have photos taken where we had to clean up cigars and beer cans sitting on the bench. At 6:30, a guy came to empty trash cans. I mentioned the gazebo to him because I didn't want to be charged for someone else's trash, and he informed me there was a large wedding the night before. This guy was not aware we had the venue till 8:00; however, we cleaned up our mess and were gone by 7:30. On Monday, November 8, I emailed Sarah and Ren regarding the above concerns. To summarize Sarah's email response, it was all a miscommunication and I only had access to the barn, 10 tables and 100 chairs. She says the bridal suite, groom's quarters and gazebo were not included in the hourly rental - but I have the emails that prove differently from the owner. When I asked Sarah about the smoking section at the time of signing the bridal contract, she provided the gazebo location to me and said nothing of it not being available for my hourly rental. In closing, I sent emails that supported my rental and what it included, a copy of the invoice that was $50 more than I was quoted and also the picture of the trash that had to be cleaned up by my husband. I asked Sarah and Ren for a refund of the extra $50 I paid without argument and have received no response back. I signed a full bridal contract that had nothing to do with my hourly rental. Thanks to friends and family, I had a very beautiful wedding. As I told Ren and Sarah I would do, I recommend this barn for a wedding but proceed with caution that whether verbal or written correspondence from them, the miscommunication is among them and they did not, in my situation, stand by their word in all areas.

Then he ran through a practice round that morning with everyone that was in the wedding which I think was very helpful because it was fresh on everyone's mind. He was in charge of sound for our ceremony. Then he was in charge of all the music and announcements during the reception. All of this turned out great!

Something strange happened to our Google review so posting it here for posterity…read more Open app Your location Jacob 87 points 3 months ago Our experience with Timeless Events was deeply disappointing and unnecessarily stressful. If we hadn't stepped in and handled planning ourselves, our wedding would have suffered. Heather, the owner, was often unresponsive and difficult to reach. Despite advertising "constant communication with the bride," we struggled to get timely responses during the final month before our wedding, when support matters most. Although we hired Timeless Events to help with planning and coordination, we ended up sourcing every vendor on our own. We were also repeatedly told our deposit would be refunded due to the lack of services provided, but that refund never happened. Only after we canceled did Heather explain she had been dealing with health issues. Had this been communicated earlier, we would have been understanding. Instead, the lack of transparency left us scrambling and under unnecessary stress. This experience did not meet the expectations set by their marketing or contract. We've chosen not to pursue remediation and are focusing on moving forward. We strongly caution future couples, especially nontraditional ones, to carefully consider their options before booking Timeless Events.
