Casey is a gem! Funny, helpful, and generous. We had our choice of a few different event spaces, each more beautiful than the last! We chose the Horse Barn because of its accessibility and proximity to facilities for our guests. Our guests loved getting to wander around the grounds before the event started. All of our pictures are stunning - the whole property is so beautiful.
We had access to the cooler and freezer in the Horse Barn for our very DIY reception, which was key. The CSV staff was so helpful in making sure we had everything we needed in the space. I felt that we had ample time available to us for set up and break down for the wedding. It was great to have access to the space the day before the wedding so we didn’t have to worry about setting up on the wedding day. All of our friends pitched in to help us decorate, and it was an extra day of fun for us all. It was a great bonus that there is a cafe on site! We also appreciated the flexibility to pick up all our gear on the day after. The grounds are open to the public, and we even got a year long membership to the Village as part of our wedding package! Thank you so much to Canterbury Shaker Village, what a gift to be able to visit our wedding venue for years to come. I’m getting teary-eyes thinking about it!!
We had an outdoor ceremony in the village and a brunch reception inside the Horse Barn for our wedding and it was perfect! Rae was so nice to work with throughout the process. She answered any questions we had and set up several meetings beforehand with us and our caterer so we could plan how to set up the barn, which was very helpful. The village itself is such a pretty place to have a wedding, and the Horse Barn was just what we wanted for a rustic feel.
We held a wedding after party at Shaker Village and it was wonderful. We were located in the historic North Shop which was an ideal blend of indoor and outdoor space. Rae was incredible to work with at every step of the way! It was great to be in a place with so much history.
Canterbury Shaker Village was everything we were looking for in a wedding venue and working with Rae was a great experience! We chose this venue for a few reasons including; multiple options for your ceremony and reception, rental included tables and chairs, you are able to hire your own vendors, and finally the beautiful views and various photo spots! Our day was perfect and I cannot recommend this venue enough!
It is a beautiful location with exactly what I was looking for in my rustic wedding. However, the prices are a bit steep for what they provide; essentially, just a field and you have to bring everything else. Gorgeous location if your splurge is going to be the venue, though.
This was a beautiful site for a wedding! They have options for an outdoor ceremony with sweeping views of the pond, gardens, or forests. We had our wedding in a replica barn, which was stunning and comfortable for our guests during a chilly evening. There are lovely historical buildings and fabulous backdrops. The on-site Greenwoods Restaurant allows for an easy transition from ceremony to reception.
