Amazing Wedding Paradise!
My husband and I knew Cork & Crate Estates was the right wedding venue for us as soon as we set foot on their property. Being the first location we visited, it set the bar high, and we feel fortunate to have found such an excellent choice.
The venue boasts stunning, Instagram-worthy scenery at every turn, which our guests, particularly the kids, thoroughly enjoyed along with the onsite activities, such as zipline and hammocks, and adorable animals.
We couldn’t say enough good things about the owners Rhonalyn & James Carpenter. Not only are they accommodating but are always open to offering us a helping hand.
Our Christian wedding at Cork and Crate was a blessing in more ways than one. In addition to a beautiful and tranquil venue, we gained new friends through their exceptional hospitality.
To Rhonalyn and James, we express our deepest gratitude for creating a stress-free environment on our special day. Your support and guidance throughout the planning process were invaluable. We also appreciate your kind words and prayers. May The Lord continue to bless you abundantly. Thank you for having us at your esteemed venue!
And to the future brides & grooms, having your special day in this stunning location will be a choice you will cherish for a lifetime.

Perfect all day venue
The moment we stepped onto Cork & Crate Estates, we knew this would be our venue. We were looking for a venue to have our entire wedding day at, and their spot delivers. The ceremony area is to die for, with a beautiful, gravelled path leading to a timeless wooden arch and a backdrop of sunflowers. The reception area of the Vinehouse was exactly what we wanted, having an easy inside/outside flow with the gorgeous double doors, and perfect sitting area around a warm fire for those guests who want to get away from the music. Many guests, especially kids, thoroughly enjoyed the onsite games available which makes the period of waiting for the bride and groom seem like nothing. On top of being a gorgeous venue, Rhonalyn and James are really great to work with. Rhonalyn was so easy to communicate throughout the planning process and offered lots of great suggestions including a great list of recommended vendors. The day of went very smoothly, and it was so nice to have help from them, like James coordinating the processional. They were there for us the entire time, and we could not have been happier with how our wedding turned out. The number of compliments received from guests is a true testament. You will love having your wedding here!

The owners went above and beyond!
This is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen! They have sunflowers everywhere, a nice pond, old cars, and animals! Every square foot was perfect for photos.
The owners James and Rhonalyn were truly amazing. The tables and chairs were already set up for us when we arrived, and they were there helping us set up and clean up the entire time. They really went out of their way to make sure all of our requests were accommodated. You can tell that this is not just a business for them, they really care and want you to have the most magical day. They even took the time to meet our families and made sure that everyone was comfortable.
They also give you the venue for the entire weekend. We were able to do our rehearsal there the day before, and we were able to come back the day after to clean up. It really makes the whole experience stress-free.
I could not have chosen a better place to create the best memories. Highly recommend!!!

Incredible Venue!
We first booked our ceremony and reception at the Vine House and Courtyard almost 2 years ago.
At the time, the Vine House actually had not been built yet. The venue owners, James and Rhonalyn sold us on their vision for the event space and we decided to proceed based upon their enthusiasm.
We are so glad we bought into their vision, as the venue is truly phenomenal and more than what we had expected.
So many of our guests commented positively about how beautiful and elegant the entire property is. They loved the atmosphere, and the ample space to explore beyond just the building itself.
Throughout the process we could tell how committed and determined both James and Rhonalyn were to making the vision for our wedding a reality.

Amazing Venue!
We had our wedding on August 20th, 2022 at the Vine House and Courtyard. We had 2 outdoor bars for guests during the afternoon and a games area which everyone loved. James and Rhonalyn went above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly and made the day run perfectly. We hired the in-house Caterer Crave Cartel and the food was was absolutely amazing! Our guests have all raved about how great the day was and we would highly recommend the Cork and Crate for any event!

Perfect Day!
We had an incredible wedding day at Cork & Crate Farms. James & Rhonalyn had everything ready to go for us to set up and they were so caring to help make our day special! What a gorgeous venue, we couldn't have chosen a better place. We loved that we could get ready for the first look & take all our photos there, with such lush & beautiful areas to choose from. Our favourite part of our evening wedding was the opportunity to visit with all our guests in different capacities - from under the lights of the tent, playing horseshoes or on Whiskey Hill! We wouldn't have changed a thing about our special day. Thank you so much Cork & Crate Farms - you truly made our day better than we could have imagined!!
