"DeAnne, thank you for your part in making Lydia and Brett's occasion the "wedding of their dreams." From the first day we visited they knew that was the perfect setting for their relaxed, fun day. Your help with the special touches of lanterns in the trees, the antique bottles and jars and your guidance from setting up through the last guest leaving made the day so low-stress that we all were able to enjoy it! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day from start to finish. Every time I closed my eyes that night I could see Lydia's beaming face and knew our choice of venue was the right one!"

The staff was amazing and you and Joel especially went out of the way to make sure that we were completely satisfied with our experience. All of our guests were really impressed by the beauty and ambiance the venue provided. Matt and I (and all of our family and friends) were beyond thrilled with everything about the day. We all have a lifetime of memories to cherish. Thank you so much for all that you and the staff did to make the day so very special and memorable. It was an amazing day."

"The wedding of my son and his beautiful bride has been described by friends as the most beautiful outdoor wedding they had ever been invited to. The guests have complimented on not only what a gorgeous, but also peaceful place The Ruins at Kellum Valley is. While my family agrees, we also know this day would not have gone so smoothly had it not been for you and your staff as you went above and beyond our expectations in making this a most memorable occasion. From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding and reception, it was a blessing to see your family working together to make new beginnings come true for Josh & Kelli."

"From the beginning DeAnne understood my vision and helped it come to reality. The property was amazing and exactly what I wanted and more for my wedding day. DeAnnes suggestions for a caterer, florist and cake artist could not have been better they all did an AMAZING job. I appreciate DeAnne and her family for allowing us to use their property for our special day, they were unbelievable and would recommend Kellum Valley to anyone looking for a beautiful and rustic farm atmosphere for their wedding."

"You guys did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding! It was everything I could have ever dreamed about. I love when people ask me what the most stressful part of the day was; because all I have to say is nothing! I didn't worry about missing or forgetting something because you took care of everything. Everything was exactly where it needed to be and the entire place looked amazing. Thank you soooo much for everything you did!"
Kelli Lawson

"Jon and I wanted to thank you so much for all you did for our wedding; it would have not have been the same anywhere else. The location was more beautiful than we could possibly imagined and neither of us, in looking back, can even consider having had the wedding anywhere else. All of our families and friends have expressed to us what a unique and perfect location they thought it was and how every aspect of the day was unmatched to any other wedding they had attended. During the entire process, both you and your staff were both professional and patient. You were always willing to answer any questions and provide advice no matter how small the detail. At the end of the process, we can say with 100% certainty that everything was wonderful, exactly the way we wanted. We cannot thank you enough for your help in executing the plans for our dream wedding and providing us with such happy memories to start our marriage. We look forward to coming back, down the road, to renew our vows.:)"

"Kellum Valley Farm is incredible and everything about the wedding and reception was really just fabulous! You and all involved obviously take pride in all you do and have great abilities to present every aspect of an event-and the property-in its best light, as well as to keep it all organized. The farm and ruins speak for themselves in ambiance and uniqueness. I can't tell you how many people remarked that they were just awestruck at the beauty and special qualities of the property. I really don't think any of them had ever been to a wedding in such a dramatic setting and they were glad to have made the drive! The food tasted as good the night of the wedding as it had at the menu tasting. Presentation at the buffet (and bar, all around the pool) was just right-it fit the feel of the property AND the wedding so well. Kellum Valley Farm was the perfect setting for Kristen and Scott's special day and you all were great beyond words.!"
Loretta Lamberth
Mother of the Bride
"Thank you DeAnne! We definitely had a great time and all of our family and friends absolutely LOVE your venue! You all went above and beyond our expectations and made our special day amazing! You have a venue full of life and our photographers were overjoyed like a kid on Christmas morning with so many places to have pictures taken at; all at one venue!! Your venue is very recession friendly and can honestly accommodate any budget, and you already have so many decorations that I really didn't have to bring much. Again we really appreciate all of the help and coordination that you all gave us, thank you so much for an amazing wedding. :)"
Crystal Mosley
Bride
"You did a wonderful job of making this day very special and memorable for Kate and Kevin. All of our guests just love the setting (how could you not?) and I think it was everything Kate hoped for. You added so many small nice touches---all of my worries as a first time Mother of the Bride diminished rapidly. Everyone was so helpful---having the wedding at the farm was absolutely the best decision we made."
Sandy Daiger
Mother of the Bride
"Thank you for making our wedding day so wonderful. It was such a memorable day and we have gotten countless comments on how gorgeous the venue was. Your help made everything run smoothly & I didn't worry about a single thing!"
Jessica Williams
Bride
"I just wanted to send you an email and let you know how wonderful everything turned out. I just can't say enough about how we all enjoyed ourselves. Our family and friends can't stop talking about how wonderful everything was. The cakes are still being talked about!!!! That was one of the best cakes I have ever had!!!! I could go on and on! As Hannah and Elliot were getting in the car to leave she told me, "Mom, this is everything I wanted!" I think that says it all. THANK YOU!!!!!"
Sharon Keating
Mother of the Bride
"DeAnne, I just wanted to write you a quick note and say thanks for everything! You really do such a fantastic job and you are so well suited for it. Your laid back approach to everything was one of the biggest appeals to Elisha and I. I have received so many compliments on everything, especially the venue. I've told everyone that I basically did nothing except bring candles and you did the rest. It's a true testament to how wonderful a job you do. I appreciate all the kindness you showed to me and my family during the process."
Lisa Bursi
Bride
"Saturday was wonderful! It's really amazing how things can come together for a beautiful, meaningful ceremony and a grand celebration where everyone seems to have a great time! And we couldn't have done it without the help of you and your staff. Ya'll were absolutely terrific! From start to finish, you have been available and extremely helpful. Every vendor you recommended was great. The food was amazing (a "cut above" the usual fare, one guest commented); and the cake was exactly what the couple wanted (and absolutely delicious on top of that!) I can't get over how helpful and efficient your staff was. You have all of this "down to a science". You are available , but unobtrusive. You went above and beyond in every way! We couldn't have been happier and will certainly recommend you highly to friends and family. Thanks, for helping make our daughter's wedding day perfect! With much gratitude--"
Eve Hanie
Mother of the Bride
"Ben and I could not have been more happy about our wedding day and we have you and your staff to thank. Everything was way beyond our expectations-we honestly could not have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for making this happen. With all the stress of planning a wedding from 3,000 miles away, we were joking before the wedding that we should have just eloped, but after the wedding, we ere counting our blessings that we found Kellum Valley Farm. Thank you again."
