    From the moment we booked our wedding at Shawnee Farms Estate, the team was incredibly responsive and communicative via text, email, and phone calls. Their attention to detail and coordination of our event was unmatched, ensuring that every aspect of our special day went off without a hitch. The venue itself was spacious and beautifully maintained, and we felt the overall value was well worth the fairly priced cost. The Shawnee Farms team was present from start to finish, friendly and attentive to our every need. We are so grateful to them for making our wedding day absolutely perfect.
