Reviews for Cork & Crate Estates
Amazing Wedding Paradise!
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 owners went above and beyond!
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!
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!
Fantastic venue!
Beautiful Venue!!
James and Rhonalyn made sure everything was perfect and were super helpful with everything, making our wedding day flow very nicely.

Perfect Day!
