“She helped us set up our tables and food and made us feel like family entering her beautiful space.”

From the reviews

I lost my grown up daughter last month and was looking for somewhere to have a Celebration of life. I came across this place and found it to be a absolutely gorgeous place. The owner was sweet as can be. The price was cheaper then any other place I was considering.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Dec 2023

This place is so charming!! Attended a marriage ceremony this weekend, and honestly, it was such a lovely place to gather. Ann was a delight from the moment we met her, and she helped with any and every little request we needed.

★★★★★ — S., Feb 2025

We had my daughters Bridal Shower there today. Ann was great to work with. She had tables and linens ready for set up. She was a great help in the actual set up. Sinking Springs is a beautiful venue a beautiful farm.

★★★★★ — Denyse, Feb 2024

We rented the beautiful barn every Sunday for nearly 3 years for our Church services! Ann was such a gracious host, and practically became part of our church family. We never had an issue with booking, and she always considered our needs from week to week.

Getting married at Sinking Springs Retreat Center, LLC

Sinking Springs Retreat Center, LLC comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
