Before choosing The Annex, we explored two other venues. Each offered its own unique atmosphere and possibilities, but none felt quite right for our needs. Shannon's desire was to be married among the trees and to walk down the aisle barefoot. She received these wishes despite the threat of a rainy Saturday! Sunday turned into a beautiful, cool and wonderful day. The entire staff at The Annex were so attentive to all our needs and I can't thank them enough for providing an unforgettable wedding experience for Brandon and Shannon. All the services were first rate from the DJ, the florist, the food, the service and day planner and so much more. The Annex photo booth is recommended with complete confidence for a beautiful and unforgettable wedding! I have been the mother of the groom three times however last Sunday the females outnumbered males 8 to 4 with the addition of another daughter-in-law and two additional granddaughters!! Thank you to The Annex

This place may be in the middle of nowhere, but it truly is an amazing and beautiful wedding venue!…read more:) Such a charming place to have a wedding. Having attended my friend's wedding that was held here, I was blown away by this location. The reception area was nice and spacious. Loved that they had an outdoor space with an outdoor fireplace to help people keep warm during winter weddings. The inside had the perfect combination of modern and homey, with the use of a stone and wood fireplace and the beautiful windows. If people were to ask me for a place to have a wedding, this place would definitely be one of my first suggestions :)

The Farmhouse is one of those wedding venues that understands the assignment visually--and then…read moreoccasionally forgets it practically. Let me explain. First impressions matter, and The Farmhouse absolutely nails them. The buildings are beautiful: sleek, simple, modern-farmhouse in the way Pinterest boards dream about at 2 a.m. The chapel in particular is a standout. It offers a genuinely scenic view--rolling landscape, open sky, the kind of backdrop that quietly does half the emotional labor during the ceremony. The property itself is well kept and clearly managed by people who care about how it looks and runs. You feel that. Now, let's talk about the animals. There are horses. There are donkeys. And there is manure. Lots of it. The scent drifts lovingly across the property like a reminder that yes, this is a farm. Personally, I didn't mind it--there's something grounding about the smell of livestock while two people pledge eternal love--but I did notice others reacting as though they had not RSVP'd for Eau de Pasture. Your mileage may vary. The chapel comfortably holds around 150-200 guests and works especially well for smaller, intimate weddings. However, intimacy comes at a cost: location. You'll be driving 30-45 minutes from any major city, and the last stretch feels like a trust exercise. GPS gives up. Cell service vanishes. There are no signs. You just...believe. This venue desperately needs signage in all directions for the final miles, unless the goal is to test the strength of modern relationships before guests even arrive. Staff-wise, the experience was mixed. Some team members were phenomenally kind and attentive, especially those serving food. Others stood around staring with the intensity of museum guards waiting for someone to touch the art. Not rude--just oddly observant. Speaking of food: it must be catered, and unfortunately, it was flat-out bad. Not "wedding bad." Not "it's fine, I'm hungry." Truly gross. Two people in my party were sick for two days afterward. That alone is something future couples should take very seriously when choosing vendors. The bar and overall hype? Meh. Overpromised, underwhelmed. Acoustics in the main reception area are another major issue. Sound bounces everywhere, turning music into vibration and conversation into a competitive sport. A little soundproofing would go a long way--both for music clarity and for letting toasts feel meaningful rather than shouted into the void. Lastly: the chairs. Uncomfortable. And notably unforgiving. I'm skinny and still noticed. Guests with any extra weight may find themselves counting minutes until they can stand again. Tables, however, were done well--credit where due. Final verdict: Beautiful setting, strong bones, but real logistical and comfort issues. With better signage, sound control, food oversight, and seating, this could be exceptional. As it stands: 3.5 stars.

Everyone was so friendly and kind, and their thoughtful guidance leading up to the wedding helped us feel prepared for every step. I especially want to thank Haydee. Her warmth and attention made such a difference on our wedding day. She made sure our vendors knew exactly where to park, guided them whenever needed, and handled everything with such grace. Because of her, we were able to simply be present and enjoy our day without worry. The entire team went above and beyond, and we will always be grateful for the love and care they put into making our day so special. We couldn't have imagined a better experience. Highly, highly recommend.

We recently hosted a wedding at The Relay Station Event Center in Plantersville, and I struggled…read morewith what rating to give the venue. The property itself is beautiful and could easily be a 5-star venue. Unfortunately, our experience was significantly affected by the owner's conduct and the failure to provide several services included in our contract. For that reason, we ultimately gave the venue 2 stars. From the beginning, the owner was frequently rude, combative, and unprofessional. Rather than working with the bride on her vision, she repeatedly tried to change decisions that had already been made. For example, the bride requested both fried and grilled chicken, and the owner attempted to change the menu to fried chicken only. The most significant issue was the day-of coordination included in our contract. About two weeks before the wedding, we were told the owner would be unavailable to coordinate. That would have been understandable if an alternate coordinator had been provided. However, the owner ultimately attended the wedding but still did not provide the contracted coordination services. No replacement coordinator was provided, leaving me, as the bride's sister, to take on that responsibility myself. The week before the wedding, the bride was also told on Tuesday evening that the selected flatware was unavailable and that she needed to purchase pre-rolled flatware and have it delivered by Thursday. The owner also pressured the bride to deliver alcohol early so it could be stored in an un-air-conditioned barn, which was concerning given the potential for excessive heat to damage wine. On the wedding day, only 70 chairs had been set up even though we had paid for 80, and we received pushback when requesting the remaining chairs. The bridal suite had not been properly cleaned, dead bugs were visible around the restroom doors, and the floors were noticeably dirty. The outdoor ceremony area had a fountain and pond with visible algae and pollen on the water. When we asked approximately two hours before the ceremony for the fountains to be turned on so the water could circulate, the owner was rude and questioned why we wanted them turned on so early. They were eventually turned on, but too late for the water to improve significantly. During the reception, the owner continued creating unnecessary issues. She threw away guests' plates when they stepped away from their tables, even when they had not finished eating. She also told members of the wedding party to leave the reception and begin tearing down the ceremony area, despite setup and teardown being services we had paid for. Around 7:15 p.m., she wanted the bar to begin packing up the remaining alcohol even though the bar was contracted to remain open until 9:00 p.m. She also repeatedly approached and pressured the bride and groom, including during their private last dance. There was one major bright spot: Jana. She stepped up wherever she could, helped fulfill services that were not being provided, and did everything possible to keep the day running smoothly. Jana deserves 5/5 stars. The venue itself is beautiful and deserves 5/5 for appearance. Cleanliness would receive 2/5. Jana receives 5/5. The owner's customer service would receive -5/5. The Relay Station has tremendous potential, but unfortunately, the owner's repeated rudeness, lack of professionalism, and failure to provide contracted services turned what should have been a joyful wedding day into an unnecessarily stressful experience for the bride, groom, and their families. Overall: 2/5 stars.

Our son was married at The Relay Station in Plantersville on November 9, 2024. I really wish we…read morecould recommend this place but unfortunately, we cannot. We were not with our son or daughter-in-law when they chose this venue. I sure wish we had been. I am trying to be factual and not emotional in this review. Because no matter what, they are married and their family and friends made the day special for them. The venue is described as rustic and it is. I didn't see the Bride or Groom's dressing room but the reception hall is quaint and nice. The decorations that were provided and set up by the venue were pleasantly nice. They fit the theme of the wedding and the venue. The owner of the venue should not be in the wedding industry!!! She has, what seems to be a permanent scowl on her face; She is very condescending and orders you around. The bride and groom wanted their wedding to start at 4:30 pm, the owner instructed them to put on the invitations 4:00 pm so people would be on time. Well on time they were, many guest showed up at 3:30 pm with nothing to drink or eat until 5:00 pm! I would not recommend doing this! Our first interaction with her was a week before the wedding when she requested all drinks and supplies to be onsite. There was confusion on who was suppling the bartenders as my son and daughter in law were told the venue bartender could be provided but they came with the catering. They declined the catering so we scheduled to have our own bartenders. While resolving the bartender issue, she looked at me and said, "Once this is decided, the bride and groom will let you know." I asked, "Are you telling me to leave?" She said, "Yes." Mind you, I was standing off to the side only to listen. Before my son and daughter in law got there, she rudely asked me how much beet/wine we had. I told her 30 cases. She told me that I had to much beer/wine and that we only needed 7 cases. I told her that I could return unopened beer and I would rather have too much than run out. It doesn't matter if I had 100 cases, it wasn't her place to tell me. Even though we hired our own bartenders, she took it upon herself to refrigerate the beer and all 24 bottles of wine. I have 18 bottles of red/white wine in my refrigerator. (IYKYK) When they booked the venue, they were told they had access from 8:00 am - 11:30 pm; Then the bride was told she could come to the venue at 11:00 am to get ready. The bride showed up at 9:30 am and she and the wedding party barely had enough time to be ready before the rehearsal, pictures and ceremony. I can't imagine how late everything would be if she had showed up at 11:00am. Apparently, the rehearsal didn't go smoothly either. Again, with the owner not listening to the bride and groom and wanting to run her own show. The bride's oldest daughter was to play her flute while her mom walked down the aisle and then to stand up with the wedding party. The owner, kept telling the bride's daughter to sit down after playing and not stand up with the wedding party. Why does it matter where her daughter stands? Numerous times the owner told the bride that her father needed to walk her down the aisle even though she had been told numerous times that the bride's father was deceased! It's an emotional day - How can someone be so crass? During the wedding reception, the owner told the bride and groom that they needed to gather their belonging that were left in the bride and groom's dressing rooms. Upon her insistence the bride and groom left their guest to clean up. The owner not only told the bride and groom but went to the wedding party which include our granddaughters and instructed the same. She should have reached out only to the best man and/or maid of honor so that the bride and groom didn't have to leave their guest and could enjoy the reception. Then the trash cans came out and the owner and her staff began cleaning up which ultimately forced the wedding to end. It was only 8:30! The reception was still going strong! By them doing this the majority of the guest started leaving so when the bride and groom had their send-off it was only family and wedding party that were left. The owner also asked our son, the groom, to have the groomsmen pick up the chairs that were used for guest during the ceremony. First off, they had been drinking, they are in formal attire and it's dark; again, safety issues. Also, we paid to have the DJ until 10:00 pm; I didn't get a refund. Maybe we should send her a bill! In conclusion, please read ALL google reviews, as we did not. There seems to be a single thread to the negative items mentioned. We strongly suggest that you have your own typed/written contract and/or checklist that gets signed by both parties because it seems she only has her notes and things change. From the first time you meet her till the end she is extremely unpleasant to deal with. Parents of the Groom
