Just came here for a wedding and it was really gorgeous…read more PreWedding: The guys get to get ready in the barn and the girls get ready in the beautiful farmhouse. I didn't see the guys' area because I was in the farmhouse with the girls. It was such a cute little house - with 2 large bedrooms, one for the bride and one for the bridal party. Large bathroom connecting the rooms. There was also a sitting room where we were able to take pictures and sit a little before the wedding. There's a beautiful (but small) porch overlooking the front so we did some pictures there but it was small so wasn't ideal for a large group. Wedding: Ceremony took place outside right in front of the farmhouse and it really was scenic with the vineyard being the main view. It was cloudy and rainy when I was there but I can imagine it being magical on a better day. The pic shows about 100 guests but I can imagine it fitting more. It was lovely overall. The cocktail hour was held below the main house and it was a small stand up area. A bar in the corner and barrels for table tops otherwise. It was a bit small but if the day was nicer, we could've moved outside too. I liked the string lights above. The reception was in the main house and it was nicely decorated with string lights above. The place provided mason jars and that added a rustic simple touch to the wedding. There were only 2 bathrooms to be used though so that might not be convenient for a bigger party (I think one got clogged up during the night as well....oops). I was disappointed in the food served here. I didn't particularly liked many of the options - it was buffet style and the food was mostly cold by the time I got to it. I disliked how they did not keep the food warm.... esp. the meats! I liked the Mac & Cheese, flank steak and the cinnamon butter bread. Did not care for the bacon wrapped chicken (too dry), the veggies, and the mashed potatoes. I also did not like how they were skimpy with the food. We were the last table to go and they were still hesitant to give us an extra scoop of food..... After we sat down they announced 2nds for everyone else.... Just give us the food man.... Overall, I think it was a really quaint place to get married. Beautiful scenery (just beware of bad weather and it gets extra windy on the mountain top) and classic farmhouse.

I got married in May of 2015 at Doe Creek Farm. Allison, who runs the venue, was great from the…read morevery beginning. We only looked at a few venues because after meeting Allison who was so relaxed and friendly we felt really comfortable working with her. Besides having someone great to work with the venue is gorgeous. We got very lucky to have a gorgeous day with a backdrop that would be hard to beat. The packing house was transformed into a beautiful reception area. My wife was allowed to get ready in the old farmhouse that is on site and was never rushed and the staff bent over backwards for us on a couple of occasions. There are a ton of beautiful wedding venues around, but I can't imagine any being better to work with.

Lindsey was a joy to work with from the beginning! She really listened to what we wanted out of our…read morewedding photos, and she absolutely delivered! She captured the exact feel we were going for in our wedding. She is a great person as well, and somehow makes taking photos a pleasant experience. My husband and I are both a little camera shy, but Lindsey made us feel very comfortable. I am so glad we chose her to do our engagement photos before the wedding too! So when it came time for the wedding,it was more like an old friend coming to take pics for us! Her assistant Megan was awesome too, and the two of them work great together. We got our pics back in the time she promised, and they were stunning! She really has an eye for beauty and light, and we could not have been more pleased! Some of our photos were even featured on a few blogs! She made a fabulous timeline of our day and was so professional and timely. She worked great with our other vendors as well, helping to make everything go smoothly and stress free! I NEVER had to stress about wether Lindsey would deliver or not, and that's always great for a stressed bride. I would absolutely work with Lindsey again....you won't regret hiring her for your photos!

In our package, along with wedding picture, we also had an engagement session where we have countless beautiful images that we were able to use for decorations at our wedding. Not only is her work absolutely stunning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. My fiance (now husband) said he actually had a lot of fun! Every step of the way Lindsey helped organize all the little details and made the whole process much less stressful. On the wedding day, she wasn't just there to be a photographer, she added so much joy and fun to the day! I would 100% recommend hiring her to anyone!!!

We contracted with Mr Spencer to cater a wedding and we were extremely pleased with that decision…read more The food was exceptionally good and the staff was professional and attentive. The weather was less than perfect but the servers never missed a beat and worked around the rain and wind, serving guests and making sure everyone had what they needed. I was in contact with Mr Spencer several times via email and he was always quick to respond and answered my questions and concerns completely. The catering company is associated with the Wikiteria in the Tech Corporate Research Park which is a great place to grab a quick lunch.

I have been there for a weekly jam sessions of bluegrass/roots/traditional music, and the owner are very friendly and gracious. I also was lucky enough to be invited to a Christmas party there, and was in the larger room. They had elegant seat covers to match the holiday decor on all of the chairs, cloth tablecloths, and tasteful burgundy berry wreaths up on the walls. Again, the owners were friendly and subtly made sure everyone had what they needed, and to feel welcome. This space is not only good for parties, they have media components built in that would make it suitable for business presentations, sales presentations, or educational programs. Finally, the owners appear to be sincerely interested in tailoring the space to their clients' needs, and seem as sophisticated as they are welcoming.

For days it was all I heard about. I am so grateful for Angie and the Professional Catering team for delivering such great service!

Even though we had a small affair, compared to most weddings, they treated us with A+ service from the beginning to end. Lastly, the food was amazing, earning rave reviews from our guests.

Reservation on the website was easy, and staff was accommodating when we called to say we were running late. Equipment was good, and the crew was quick to get us in the water. The take-out location was well-marked and they drove down to pick us up and ferry us back to our car as soon as we called. We had a great day, and will surely go back. If you go, be aware it's a no-frills operation. Little more than a shack in a pasture and a rattletrap van. No changing facility and no running water. It's not a place for lodge-pampering, but you can't beat it for a family-friendly, unplugged day outside.

Excellent with all types of people, from respectable churchgoers to the rest of us. Real easy to work with. The float is real easy. Paddling is barely required.
